PhD after Oxbridge MPhil/MSc

[Mandy_244]

Given that funding is uncertain at every stage in the UK, what are the odds of continuing onto a funded PhD/DPhil in Oxbridge after MPhil?

How many students in social/cultural anthropology convert successfully and how many of them secure full funding?

If they don't get a satisfactory offer at Oxbridge or in the UK, what's the next best option? US anthro PhDs typically take 7-8 years over 3 in the UK, so is it a good option? Also, how are Oxbridge MPhils seen by US adcomms in sociocultural anthro?

Alternately, what are other good places to do a PhD? Leiden, ANU etc. What's the preferred order?
