Hi Satchi,

Thank you very much for your reply. First of all wishing you a very Happy New Year!!!

Let me explain you my situation. My course is going to start from October 2011. Meanwhile, I had asked my proposed supervisor to work in her lab as voluntarily without pay because I came to UK in the month of November and I am looking for some scientific work either paid or unpaid. As she allowed me to join the lab which I thought may be helpful for my future funding search in which I can show the understanding on my proposed project.
Do this help? Or perhaps, it may help me in search of other paid position in scientific research.
Is this correct to proceed?

Hi,

I am allowed to do voluntary work at my proposed supervisors lab,UK. I am an Indian and got PhD offer place without funding. I am planning to apply for all possible places to obtain fund in UK as well as in India. 
Can anyone suggest me any possible places to search scholarships apart from departmental, university? Since I have no scholarship available for my current PhD offer I kept continuing applying for other places for PhD. Is it correct? Do my volunteer work lab supervisor give me recommendation for other places?

Thanking you

Happy New Year to all!

Hi,

I had obtained a PhD place in cell biology but I have to search funding for my studies. I am exploring various opportunities for fund as I am an international student. I came across DHPA and read it details. But I am not sure how to proceed as I have to search private sponsor along with host university. And my proposed guide is unable to help me for this.
Can you please guide me?

Thank you

Regards 

Hi, many thanks for your reply. I have checked my travel arrangements as well as decided to wear formal black trouser, white shirt and coat. I do have one year research experience so I will read my work.

Thank you very much for the help!

Hi all,
