Hi,
I managed to speak to a few supervisors at a university and finally have decided to narrow it down to information retrieval evaluation ( suggested by the supervisor). Ok, so the thing now is..its Phd..and its slightly different than masters. But how and where do I start, I suppose I have to at least know what I plan to write on, as I would have to write the proposal. Right now, I am searching on research topics in IR evaluation..what else would help..?

I have contacted one supervisor, he was suggesting new route Phd..but that will take nearly 4 years..the research is done..from 2nd to 4th year..
do you think..it is possible to complete it within 3 years

Hi thanks..for the reply..
Yeah..I understand that grades are important..in fact..my masters grade are better than my degree. I did both coursework and dissertation module..have produced 2 conference papers..I seriously need to write a journal..I think that would strengthen my application

I want to do something under computer visualisation, and i received B- for my signal and image processing paper, but my degree's results for computer graphics are not good at all.
So..actually..my masters included both research and courswork..how is Mphill or mres..different..compared to what I did.. and do you think it is possible for me to complete it within a year..people tend to drag..research degrees..

and..do you also think..when I contact a potential supervisor, I maybe..can attach some of the projects that I have completed...as my grades dun speak for themselves..at least that would give them some confidence in me..

what do you think...

Hi..
I am interested in furthering my studies to a Phd level..I am looking out for foreign universities...but most of the emails I sent were replied..asking me to prepare a research proposal - should I do a proposal on the current projects that the certain supervisor is doing or how...

the other thing is..my programming level is not that good and my degree's results are not so good.. I am still improving.but now trying extremly hard..i was thinking of improving it and coming up with a prototype sorta thing that I can email to the potential supervisors so that they have more confident in me as my results definitely can't speak for me..

but how hard is it to secure a place to do Phd..I remember..my friends got through easily to do bachelor degree courses at UK and australia..despite not having a good cgpa.
and I am here scared to apply because..my cgpa is not enough..but I have recently completed my Master's in comp science.. I need some advice..
