| Nov 1, 2021 at 9:25 | comment | added | astronat supports the strike | @Buffy since PhD students in the UK have a supervisor and thesis title from the get-go, it's harder to change them, unlike systems in which a student is admitted to the department and shops around for a topic and supervisor. Part of the question is about changing/adding supervisors, so I think the tag is appropriate. | |

| Oct 31, 2021 at 16:44 | comment | added | Ian Sudbery | I won't say that changing supervisors is completely out of the question in the UK. I've known of several students change supervisors. It is, however, regarded as fair big step, and its not guarenteed that the department will agree. | |
