Maybe? Maybe straight to PhD. Some possible jobs ops too. Not sure on my plan yet really.

I'd advise against straight to PhD given what you have expressed in this thread. But I'm not you & I'm obv not 100% sure of how you feel.

If I may join and give my opinion - I went straight to PhD and I often wish I would have done MSc first. It was a Q of funding though

Yeah, that's a very common theme I hear from people either directly or indirectly. MSc was good at helping me understand certain things.

I think doing MSc might give you some space to think about how you want to progress later + you get some "starter skills" if you go for PhD

publications even, though that's another issue

The issue with doing an MSc first is that I think I might be bored with it. Obvs, depends on the course.

Also, funding. My uni fund PhDs, I'm not sure they fund Masters.

Yeah I had the same thing - I found a funded PhD in London but I was also accepted to MSc in Edinburgh, not funded tho. No choice really

When you say bored do you mean you might not like the theme? What makes you think PhD won't get boring?

Also are you ruling out other unis? Many unis do 1+3 which implies MSc and PhD fully funded.
