Glad to hear the uni are treating you well KK. I hope the new proposal goes through.

Linds, I can confirm that you are neither my official nor my unofficial supervisor, except for the help you provide on here.  If the new proposal doesn't go through, then I am going to step away from it entirely. I don't need this sort of anxiousness in my life at the moment, or ever. |

KK - I suspect it's always better going with a solution to a problem (ie sounds like 'covid has changed the rules, the original plan can't be done') and giving a way to continue (more or less) with a changed plan & focus? What's not to approve or tune slightly rather than stopping it altogether. I hope your supervisor sees it the same way .... |

Gosh, has none of us needed any support between January and now? Anyhoo, good news! The revised proposal was accepted; I don't have to do another viva; and my unofficial supervisor is now my official supervisor. We have pledged not to be any trouble to each other.

Whereas I have been reminded this week of the truly awful first viva I examined. They're appealing the decision, so I had to write a statement, almost 3 years later.

Hello all...I'm in the middle of applying to a part-time MSc (related to my professional field) - any advice on writing a personal statement? There's no guidance at all in the course literature, it just asks for CV and statement. I've done quite a few for job applications so am guessing it's probably similar in showing that I've got the experience and knowledge to cope with the course, plus something about why I want to do it? Any advice or tips welcome - thank you!
