Oxbridge is recognised as the best places for undergraduate courses. Is it also true for PhDs/DPhils?

i will be starting a phd in october and i cannot help feeling a bit apprehensive. a big part of me is looking forward to it all while the other bit's wondering whether i'm just a glutton for punishment. any survival tips ou there?

Thanks Jame's. My problem is that I deviated from research for 10 yrs after graduating, although I did gain experience in diagnostic labs for 2 yrs.I've had to spend a lot of time justifying working abroad and patient care work.

I am starting my final year of a Zoology degree this autumn, and will hopefully gain a 1st or a 2.1. I really want to have a career in research, so need a PhD. When should I start to apply? The ones I've seen all appear to be for this September, so when will the PhDs for September 2004 start to be listed?Please help

supervisors are usually happy to have mature students (they usually have more experience ) but theysometimes think that they will not get funding for a mature student. It maybe up to you to make allay these fears. Remember to sell your best attributes; your not a fresh graduate but you have more experience of working with people , lab skills etc. A lot of my colleagues are doing the same thing for me as they realise the value of a PhD in research.You are not original! In fact I think findaphd.com should run a special on mature students!

I have just accepted a PhD and I'm going to be 28 this year. I have been in research for around 4 years. I just look at it as a research career turned unside down i.e Instead of doing a PhD first and them gaining work experience for my CV, I did it the other way around. I hope my future employers understand this when I look for post doc work!

Hi. I want to do a PHD based on research I have already started, covering Investment Management, with particular reference to indexing. Does anyone know of Universities which might be interested?

I have done M.Sc. in Biotechnology from a reputed univeristy in India and involved in a research Porject for past 2 years and still continuing in the same place. I wish to apply for PhD in Germany. How can I go about it?

I am an Indian student and am about to finish my MRes in Bioinformatics from IBLS Glasgow.Am interested in applying for funding for pursuing my PhD. Would appreciate information on Universities that offer aid.

i just finished the degree this year and get Bsc of 2.1 in university of derby. and now, university can offer me doctor of philosophy or MA in Marketing Management. i don't know which one is more suitable for me. and which topic is suitable in Marketing research. and is Master of phil one year or two year? is that the first stage of Phd?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an INDIAN. I have done my M.Sc. in BIO-CHEMISTRY in this year. I am very much interested in doing my PhD in UK OR GERMANY. So please give me all the details and information about the adimission and scholarships because I can manage my air fair and one month arrangement there but after that I cannot.I have
also heard that it is necessary for me to complete my TOFEL or not.My e-mail id is [email protected]
So please give me the details as fast as possible.

How common is someone funding a PhD themselves anyway? I am debating taking out a loan as I've been trying for 2 years to get a studentship but my 2ii is causing problems with this. If I was to take out this loan would I be able to walk onto (or get on to relatively easily) a PhD as I am self funding?

Go to http://www.findaphd.com/students/cv1.pdf there is a copy of it there.

How can I do my PhD(Computer Science) from India?
