Dear Augustine,

thank you for your interest. I read the proposal with much interest, though=
 I would suggest keeping the proposal to 2-3 pages (this is the usual lengt=
h in the UK) and narrowing down the focus, so that it looks more realistic.=
 Now the project looks way too large for a Phd thesis!

In any case, there are now no PhD scholarships available at the University =
of Exeter unfortunately, since the only one we have for international stude=
nts was allocated already for the coming academic year (we also have a few =
scholarships for research on AI and the environment, but this would not fit=
 your project which is very philosophical and abstract). Perhaps you want t=
o rework and narrow down the proposal and try again next year?

All best,
Sabina
