Actually I do have a focus, just need expanded views from multi disciplinary backgrounds that i may incorporate into what I already have to thicken the "Conceptual Framework"

Davidylan, thank you for your anticipated input.

Davidylan, thank you for your anticipated input.

ok sounds good. Best of luck.

I guess his PGD was to enhance his candidature for an MSc in IT, considering that his UG discipline is completely tangential. I might be wrong though, awaiting his response.

obinoral1179:
bro this ur combination looks na wa ooooo. But why did you choose to do PGD instead of going through MSC direct? Ur experience might help a brother here.

Thanks a lot.

davidylan:


nope. only the biomedical phds are funded and they are funded by the federal government training grants.

Err, most of the Ivy league Unis and highly ranked ones in the Midwest and West Coast offer full funding for Computing courses as well. I know about Harvard, Brown, Stanford, and Michigan.

University of Toronto also offers full funding.

No1 with HND as a first degree??

Would we be diciplined enough to just ignore this guy? He has made his point but responding to his irrelevant posts would do this thread no good. Please, let us continue to keep this thread alive with felicitous recommendations that will help advance the careers of scholars. Thanks to you all.

I am sorry to say this set of Nigerian PhD holders can't move the country forward with what I have seen so far in this particular thread. Is this how we are going to lead by example?

Oh, yeah! I don't have your time either.

@ SirShymex
Are you going for a PhD course?

I don't know.

My life isn't open to the public.

SirShymex:


I don't know.

My life isn't open to the public.

I know the reason why you say that. You still have your eyes on that bigger B.

would be good if we all ignored the troll. thanks.

davidylan:

He won't ignore me for saying the truth.

Nice one, sir. Try to preserve the orderly ambience of the thread. Ignore unrepentant trolls.

Later this year, one of my professors propositioned me to send in my PhD application........but, I'm kinda not interested in his research interest tho.

It's hard to find a professor with the same interest as mine.

I like every aspect of research except the research report In my field, PhD holder's salary is freaking fantastic, that's the only thing that resonates with me every time I think of potential 7 years of PhD.

Big ups to all potential PhD holders and current PhD holders. E no be beans

Bsc Physics/Electronics
MSC Photonics (Germany)
PhD 3rd year Applied Physics ,(Netherlands)

My research is about control of light scattering and absorbtion in nanophotonic media for applications in white LEDs, solar cells and random lasers.

temitee4me:
BSc uniben-biochemistry
MSc Uniben-biochemistry
PhD in view FUTA-environmental toxicology

Why didn't you do your PhD in Environment Toxicology with Professor Lawrence Ezemonye of UNIBEN? That's his core area of discipline. He taught me in my MSc.

dabayomi:
BSc Holder in Nursing
Registered Nurse
Registered Psychiatric Nurse (in view)
So I intend to get a Msc
And Then a Phd...
Wat do u advice? ?

Very nice. Never relent up until you achieve your dreams.
Best wishes!

Having the same research interests is definitely paramount! It will determine the kind of opportunities you will have during and after the program and the bonding you will have with your Supervisor. Another tip for applicants is to make sure you strategically choose your Supervisor; don't allow the school to select one for you! My first choice for a Supervisor left the school for a UN job and so my school chose a Supervisor to replace her. It was hell because we didn't have anything in common. I battled to change my situation, the battle is ongoing

Interesting.

I'm doing a Phd in Computer Science.

all4naija:
I am not impressed!

by what?

ocheejemb:

by what?

By virtually all of you.

youngice:
what ever happens don't do MSC in FUTO

Why would you say such of FUTO?
If you had an encounter with a particular department, you don't begin to smear the image of a great institution like FUTO. Sort yourself out as FUTO is one of the best schools in Nigeria.

Oh no! I don't impress a faceless troll. I'm heartbroken.

My sister is aspiring to study Law. She is 18 but not yet in school. She has secured admission into Ife though. I am a tad worried about the career prospects in her discipline as I do not really have anyone who can mentor her around. I know Law is a prestigious discipline and that she is ardent on becoming a preeminent advocate in the future, I just do not want her to make the wrong decisions. She is into cosmetology now pending the time her school resumes for a new session in May. What is your advice on how to maximize her potentials as a law student? I would appreciate a well detailed recommendation, ma. Thanks.

Following with keen interest
B.Tech. Pure and Applied Mathematics
M.Sc Mathemathecal science (AIMS-SENEGAL) In-view
Intend to go the PhD immediately

Meanwhile, I will appriciate suggestion for my thesis topic from the senior collegue.
My interest is in mumerical analysis but relating to finance

Raxxye:
BSc, Physics/ Geophysics
MSc, Applied Geophysics
PhD, Environmental Geophysics ( prospective)

Got admission in early 2013, but couldn't push on for some reasons. Now I want to re-apply next year, but I'm considering a different school now (Unical).

What is your proposed research focus area?

ocheejemb:


Oh no! I don't impress a faceless troll. I'm heartbroken.

Do you know what I will do if I have the opportunity to become the president of that country?! I will ignore PhD certificates from Nigerian universities and go by experiences and skills. I think many Bsc holders can do better jobs than most of you here. That is a big shame though!

If you have been following the thread, sir, you would know better than not to respond to him. Please, resist any urge to get into any sort of derailing with him. Let us stick to the thread. Thanks.
