Thanks

Can someone use statement of results?

Kinboe:
Your English score and age is bringing your score down. You need to go and do PTE and ace that very well.

Also, you can start assessing with Engineers Australia. That can take a while as you must write a tight and original CDR. It can be done. Just follow the MSA booklet and do not copy anyone.

Thanks.

malkinburg:


have you got any experience?

Yes, about 7years in paints industry

chebyshev:
Hi you can reachout to me if you have issues writing your CDR, especially for Chemical Engineers.

All the best

I've sent you an invite. Please I need your help.

Hello house,
I will like to know my chances below is my data:
Age:33
Qualification:MEng and BEng Chemical Engineering

Work Experience: 7 years in Coating industry
English Test [IELTS]:L-7,R-7,R-7,W-7

PLEASE KINDLY ADVICE

Please, I need urgent advice on this. I have been asked to send my CV for review by a potential supervisor. my worry is that my area of research in masters is totally different from his own. Though I have submitted my application to the school before reaching to this supervisor, I feel I should also attach a copy of the submitted statement of interest. I believe my statement of interest will give him a good idea on why I want to do my Phd in different research areas. My CV will only convince him I have research experience but my Statement of Interest will convince him I have experience in his research field. I need advice. my question is whether to send my CV only or to attach a copy of the submitted statement of interest.

Getting professors on the phone is expected and schools recommend you do so if you have not heard from them. Professors are very busy you know. They can't avoid you by the time you establish personal contact. Make sure before establishing contact though, that you follow due process.

The due process you mean was to send them messages couple of times. I have done such. Thanks.

Don't bombard them with a barrage of esoteric research paper or thesis proposal. Send a friendly letter introducing yourself and your unique background as a student coming from Nigeria. Say why you are interested in working with them. Perhaps the work they did in some groundbreaking area. Don't pump them up and plead sir in every sentence like they do here in Nigeria. These people don't understand platitudes and you can come across as a sycophant or plainly annoying

Don't use the letter to talk endlessly about your research. Talk at most in one paragraph or two, your area of research interest. Tell them you covet their response and will be happy to send them your full research proposal if they would be so kind to consider you for supervision. You are more likely to get positive response if you keep everything friendly and not too serious in your first communication. I would recommend if you don't receive a response, to resend the email once or twice at most, then choose a few professors you feel are the most perfect fit for you, call them on the phone and talk to them. Keep trying until you are able to establish contact and personally talk to the professor(s). Something should work. Best!

This is what I have exactly done. I've sent a couple of messages to some and just once to others. I don't know how getting them on phone will look like. But I will try to send messages again to professors that I have reached once. And maybe wait 2 to 3 days before reaching out to them on phone. Just like you said, something should work.

I have my research interest which I indicated in my statement of interest but I have not really prepared any proposal on them.

Thanks.

I applied to western university for summer (may) intake. My application is a PhD program in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering.

I have B.Eng and M.Eng in Chemical Engineering with CGPA of 3.66 and 4.0 respectively. I have 2 international published research papers from my M.Eng thesis though it's not related in what I applied in western university but I believe it will serve as a research experience. I hold private tutorials in biochemical engineering for undergraduates of 2 universities.

I have been trying to get supervisors but I've not gotten any reply from any of them. The program co-ordinator encouraged me to apply and then secure supervisor at any time during the application process. I have communicated effortlessly to these supervisors but I've not gotten any reply. Not even a single reply. I'm worried.

Pls any advice?
