Today I received several emails pertaining joining Canvas, ALG community (Will soon explain what ALG is all about), I'm yet to receive the one for Slack which others have received.

I Had to chose a time-zone while registering for canvas because Africans timezone differs. Canvas is the platform used to alx to lecture it's students. Materials are provided on the dashboard with limited time.

In today's work session, they talked about two type of ALX virtual assistant students, the normal ones and honorary ones.

The normal ones graduate with a certificate and proceeds for job opportunities.

The honorary ones are provided opportunities and connected! To be along the honorary ones, you have to always do your projects on the first milestone. After the first milestone, your grade will decrease.

Please send me link for the alx group or any community where I can get relevant information, I have just been selected for the financial analyst course/training. My email: chigoz4reall@yahoo.com

Each country/university has its admission criteria and scholarship criteria for PhD. Someone may be admittable but such person may not meet the requirement to be awarded a full or partial scholarship or vice versa.

So I believe you have a good chance, so give it a try. Don't let anything serves as blocking rock to achieving your vision.

Since you have a bachelor degree and MBA, you can apply directly for a PhD...I don't see any reasons why you should do another MSc before going for a PhD unless you choose to.

Here is a common Admission Requirement for PhD in a Business related program abroad (extracted from a Canadian University webpage):

Education

In most circumstances, a master’s degree from a university of recognized standing in an appropriate area of study is required. Applicants without a business background will be considered but may require additional courses in the functional areas of business.

Research interest

A clear and strong statement of your research interest focusing on what you want to study, and identifying at least one of our faculty members who focus on this area of expertise, will benefit your application. You are strongly encouraged to read our faculty profiles to identify whether your research interests align with our faculty members. Highlight this alignment in your application.

GMAT or GRE (some university don't ask but can strengthen student application)

A GMAT score of at least 600 or GRE with a balanced score of 302 is required.

Typical PhD Scholarship Requirements (PhD is for Research):

PhD scholarship is often competitive. Scholarships are awarded based on an applicant’s academic record, research output and prior research experience. So, candidate’s past records of education (CGPA), documents submitted during the application, research experience and skills, research interest and Quality of Research proposal, how relevant the person research aligned to the faculty or specific supervisor as well as the clarity of objectives are taken into consideration by committee members during evaluation.




I don't see why you should do that, you already have MBA.....that's master in Business Administration or was it honorary? So why would you need to go get MSC again?

There is large number of students that got admitted from Bachelor directly into PhD abroad. I have 4 of my ex-undergraduate students who got admitted directly from Bachelor to PhD without having a master degree. These undergraduate students were in my lab and each had 4 reputable research papers which happened to be related to their chosen PhD, the university found them well-equipped with a competitive academic record, reasonable research output and sound prior research experience.

Even, I had my ex-undergraduate student with her low CGPA she had two research papers and was finally admitted directly to PhD in the USA (Bachelor to PhD) just this last Feb and she resumed already. She contacted me for a Ref and I have screenshot her letter here.

In summary, visit websites of each university you wish to study, check their requirements and see if you meet up, apply and wait. The procedure and steps are generally stated on the universities websites.

Best wishes

Thank you so much, my MBA is not honorary I actually did a 2 years course. I will start looking up universities and prospective supervisors that can support my area of research interest. Thank you for this, I am fired up to take the next step.

Please Prof,

With B.sc Business Administration (2:1)
and an MBA

Both from a Nigerian University.

What are my chances of gaining fully funded scholarship for a direct Phd in a foreign university, possibly Canada, UK or any other country?

Should I go back for an MSC in Nigeria (and possibly apply later for a PhD as it gives me a better chance) or will it be possible to gain admission for an MSC abroad on scholarship and subsequently seek for a Phd admission there?

I really want to further in the area of academics with keen interest in entrepreneurship in relation with emerging economies.

drdams:

kunlexyfred: [/color][color=#006600]House pls, did the Nigerian NAVY DSSC course 21 trained together with their Nigerian Army counterpart in 2012? I am asking this because I learnt that NAVY started training in August 2012! Also, I learnt before now that the Nigerian Army( DSSC and SSC) and the NN would train at NDA kaduna but to my greatest surprise, NA DSSC will train in Makurdi and SSC at NDA for 2014!
Pls I need accurate answers and not guess work! Tnks

In recent time, Nigerian army DSSC training has been carried out at markudi and SSC at NDA kaduna. Last year(2012) Nigerian Navy DSSC and Army SSC resumed around same time (august to be precise) and were trained together in NDA. Nigerian airforce unlike navy now train their DSSC cadets in their base at kaduna because they have the manpower and necessary facilities for basic cadet training. I think with time nigerian navy will follow suit but not anytime soon. I hope my response answers ur question. Cheers!!!
