Appendix II: Open Ended Responses on reasons for declining by Department HOME/EU or INTERNATIONAL REASON FOR DECLINE DEPARTMENT Home/EU Funding: My application for funding to the AHRC was unsuccessful. I'm applying again this year to start in Oct 2009. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences Home/EU Funding: My application was wholly dependent on obtaining AHRC funding. The university elected not to put my application for funding forward. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences Home/EU left blank Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences International Funding & Administration: I could not secure funding and when I asked for help to direct me in the right direction I was just told to take out a loan. There was always a great delay between email, sometimes 4 months when I would ask a question. I would like to attend class at the University of Bradford but financially it is not possible. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences International Funding: Could not obtain funding here in the US. And no help was offered in the UK. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences Home/EU Competition: I talked to friends and English people who recommended Oxford or Cambridge as I did have an offer from those universities. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences International Competition: A program at another university seemed more appropriate to my specific aspirations. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences Home/EU Competition: I had a pressing offer to study towards a PhD in History at my own university (UCD), which I did not wish to decline. Unfortunately this meant that I could not attend Bradford. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences International Funding: I have not declined the offer; I only have challenges in getting funding from my government. I intend to commence my study at Bradford whenever my scholarship is approved. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences International Funding: I felt that the department I had applied to was less unified and with less interaction between members than at Durham, which had a very strong, active department. Durham also provided the same amount of funding, and is a safer and friendlier place to live. If the funding at Bradford had been more considerable, I might have changed my decision. Archaeological, Geographical & Environmental Sciences Home/EU Funding: Funding is dependent on my partner having a full time job which is unlikely in the Bradford area.
