Timikenzo2,

He should check the programs is he applying for if he meets the requirements. Requirements must be met before admission can be granted.

FutureDon:


I am. PhD applications vary from Uni to Uni. All the advice that I will give will be based on my experience applying to the "big boys". Getting a supervisor may take days, weeks or even months depending on how prompt the Prof responds to emails. I remember receiving responses to some of my emails after I had already accepted an offer elsewhere.

Typically, the process include:
Find a supervisor
Discuss potential projects with the supervisor
Write a research proposal
Supervisor officially agrees if convinced that one is ready for the "game" ahead
Apply for admission and/or scholarship: In most cases, applications are first considered for admission (5weeks +) before onward consideration for scholarships (8wks +). For instance, one's application might be successful for admission but not for scholarship.

Most importantly, your first email needs to be "catchy". Also, it will be of importance to let them know that you'll be applying as a self-funded student as a lot of them consider funding before agreeing to act as a supervisor.

You are welcome to send me a PM if you have more personal questions to ask. I know there are 2 other PhD students on this thread, albeit missing in action, who might want to add one or two points.

Hello House,

Please I need advice from the gurus here.

My student visa application was recently declined by Pretoria.

I applied to study Civil Eng and got admission and CoE from Deakin. I have a B.eng in Civil Engineering and graduated 7 years ago. Although I have worked in a finance firm all these 6years after graduation, I have done pro-bono jobs with some Engineering firms to stay in touch.

In being denied, these are the reasons my case officer claims:

1. Though I am married and have a child, it is not enough incentive to return .
2. He also says since the economy of Australia is better, he doesn't think I will want to come back.
3. No letter of future employment.
4. Since I have been in a finance firm, doesn't think or see sense in doing a Masters in Civil and Water Engineering) and thinks it pays me more to remain in finance

Please I really want to re-apply and need advice on how to go about it to avoid bad news the 2nd time.

Please Gurus in the house, show me the way, PLEASE

johnsontade:


You shot yourself in the foot by declaring all your 6 years finance experience. 6 years outside your field is a lot of time and truly doesn't make sense going for an Engineering graduate degree. My advice is for you to apply for masters in project management, construction management or business administration.

timikenzo2:
Thanks alot ,I will do as you have advised. I hope to share my testimony too. Please could you assist if you can as per supervisor ...

kaycome:
Nice plz i am also interested in going for my phd in aussie. Phd in information technology or system. Can there be funding ffor my phd?

sizmokool:
Thanks @johnsontade

If I change my course, wont they say start suspecting foulplay? Cos I really want to go back to the engineering field?

Please advice
