I am planning on returning to study at PhD level. The university will accept me but only if I start at M Phil and then progress to PHD. I already have an MEd which I self funded while working 10 years ago. Does anyone know if my County Council would fund an MPhil/ PHD given that I have an MEd? I read the guidelines and it says the course must be of higher academic progression, but given the fact that I funded my previous master's does that mean I'd be eligible for funding for an MPhil?

Thank you

They should do as in most institutions, the MPhil is the first step in obtaining a PhD. In most institutions, it is not the norm to go straight on to the PhD register, you must first do a year (or two) on the MPhil/MSc. register. So you could argue that the only way you can get your PhD is to go on the MPhil register first. You could get a letter from the College stating this which could support your application.
