Hi all!
This is my storey.
Firstly I am Ukrainian.I am looking for PhD and my attempts are not really successful. I have been trying tofind PhD approximately for 5 months (mostly internet search).
My background is agricultural. I obtained Master’s degree in Agriculture and Rural Development at UCD,Ireland(results: more than 60 %) and MBA in Ukraine.I am really interested in two research directions:1)agricultural cooperatives (development, efficiency etc); 2)GMOs (awareness of people, economic evaluation of usage).
As for me to be progressive in on of these two directions it is necessary to do such research in UK/EU, where the researches are much ahead(in a compare with Ukrainian researches).As an example there are no agricultural cooperatives in Ukraine i.e. nobody wants to explore this field. The other interesting topic is not developed either. It is very sad but true. I can’t start PhD in Ukraine because of a lack of such research themes. On the other hand I can’t start such PhD in UK because of the lack of PhD programmes for international students (funding). Of course I could be wrong, but…
The help I am looking for contains advices (where to search, whom to send proposals etc).
Thanks in advance.
