I'd like to revisit this topic and get some advice . . .
I've been accepted to Warwick and Leeds, and I'm still waiting to hear from LSE (where I did an MSc in a related field), Goldsmiths, and Edinburgh. I really want to return to the UK for my PhD, but I've already missed most of the deadlines for applying for funding, and I hold a funded offer from a U.S. school (ranked 50-60). I'd be happy to TA/RA to fund my degree, but I don't think it's possible to line up a position before committing to a program. Additionally, since I'm an international student, I'm ineligible for a lot of university funding and have higher fees to pay. Meanwhile, I need to respond to my U.S. offer by April 25th. Does anyone have advice on how to fund a UK PhD? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
