Self-assessment:
Due to not having much research experience, I do not know if I stand any chance in applying for MRes/PhD. If not, I am considering applying for TA but not sure if that will work out in the current corona situation.
I am still thinking where to aim in terms of the league tables.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
