I am a graduate in Chemistry (honors) and have been granted "permanent residence" status in Australia. I wish to settle in , Adelaide in Austrlia in September.

Due to lack of opportunities in my country I was made to do work in another, bitter field for about 12 years after graduation. However I have 2 year, part time research experience, but no publication.

I'm keen to work in science field after I migrate.

Is it worth doing a Phd, to secure employement in research field?

Can I do a PhD directly without MPhil?

I don't mind doing Masters if necessary.All I want to do is to get use of my knowledge and work in the field I studied. I don't want to waste time any more.

I'm in desparate need of advice.

Hi kamani, you might want to look at available PhDs here:

and see what the entry requirements are. You can also try looking at Masters degrees here:
I'm afraid I can't advise on job opportunities after you graduate though.
