You must have internal strength to cope with all difficulties in obtaining PhD.

what a calculation? well i think that calculation needs strong verification! as you've been advised(NERC), your case is an exceptional case, try to talk with some people in the research area of interest in any institution you might be willing to attend before making the application. i know that will help.
i wish you the best.

i am sure you will be qualified for some PhD awards, just be very liberal and try to look for other very good schools when choosing.
don't be too rigid in choosing oxbridge or camford or what so ever you call it.
i think you better start looking at other universities before it is too late!

I am a final year student of M.Sc.(Ag)Biotechnology.Presently doing my Thesis related research work on the Topic'Molecular differention of CMS line & fertility Restorer line in Rice.I want to join for my Ph.D in Abroad.Which country should I prefer & How can I get Admission.Thank You.

I suggest you get some more work experience, I've got five years, a 3rd and an MSc. It also helps if you work somewhere with a good reputation in academia, where you can network!

What's PHD study like?

DESS is orientated 2 work it's more practical than theorical. it takes 1 year as the DEA but u cannot prepare a Ph.D after a DESS unless exceptions. DEA is only orientated 4 research, teaching...
Masters does correspond 2 the french maitrise but it's hard 2 be accepted in the french system if u have a masters and the opposit is true. So all u have 2 write is that u've done a masters and they know well what does it mean. it's not at all above the DEA, french and american systems r different.

Yes there are. They are usually based at a University but have industrial funding (a CASE studentship) and some of your research time can be spent within the industrial labs. It is also possible to do a PhD entirely within industry funded by the company (ie AstraZeneca). The money for these is usually quite good but they are a little harder to get on.

I am currently on a placement and will be completing my clinical Biochemistry degree next year. I was wondering whether there are PhD studnetships which are run jointly at a university and industry?

i have several interviews coming up soon but dont know what to wear. should i wear a suit or are a smart pair of jeans and smart top ok??

again: please do anyone know how to reach a supervisor in a foreign school and ask him to give me a project for my phd, and a link person in my university; is this possible

after a long search for proposed phds, i found none relevant to my interests. I've been recomended to contact directly those who may become my supervisor; how should this contact be: email? what shall I write, especially to explain this past year since I graduated, where I hardly did mcuh productive? i'd be greatful ofr your help.

How can i contact a supervisor saying I am interesting in its field of reasearch but with no specified topic for a project, especially because i am fairly new in this field, having studied slightly different, more general backgrounds, but have the interest to learn new things with the ability to adapt easily; does it matter?
