Ugh I am so annoyed with myself! I emailed someone in department X, after seeing that they have an award for a sort of niche area for PhD. The bit I am interested in is that, this award makes it possible to do doctoral study in this area coming from a different first degree background.
My first degree is not in the area (but my second one is...) but this uni are generally quite tough about your first degree matching the field.
Anyway, the person I emailed seemed to think I was asking about the award funding and said it's not available. It has of course already been allocated, I knew this.
How do I reply and make it clear it was less the award itself I am asking about, and more the potential to apply for the PhD programme despite my first degree?
I don't want to be annoying, they were briskly apologetic for the delay to my email saying they are very busy and things are hectic.
How would you word it? Or should I take it as a brush off?
I struggle with confidence, please help me not make an annoying tit of myself.
