I have done my MA in history from India, University of Mumbai. Then I just finished (jan 2005) a certificate course in humanities and social sciences from the University of Amsterdam. Now I want to do a PhD very badly in The Netherlands. Is it possible to get? I want to be in amsterdam amd make a career in the academic field!

I wouldn't go around telling people that you "want to do a PhD very badly"! Sorry, couldn't resist ;o)

Best of luck with your PhD search Kartnik

Talk to your course tutors in Amsterdam to see what opportunities may be available to you.
