Hello,

I have cleared first round of interview for my PhD in Germany ( I am by native an Indian). But now they called me for two days workshop which leads to final selection. It includes two things:

1) 10 minutes (strict) Presentation on MSc thesis.
2) A 30 min. examination on a research paper which they will send me few days before the workshop.

Can anyone please suggest me what to include for my 10 min. presentation as I have lots of microscopic images during my thesis (MSc in cell biology). How much content I will include? Number of slides?
And for such kind of written exam on research article it will be helpful if anyone had been passed from same assessment for their PhD.

Please help me.

Thank you

Hello,

I am working at my proposed supervisor's lab as volunteer (unpaid) in a hope that it may help me to get some experience as well as University funding for PhD. I did mentioned this in my application for university's overseas scholarship and my proposed supervisor gave me reference too. But unfortunately, I didn't received the scholarship and my to be guide said that she donot know any other funding possibility. For your kind information I had applied for other uni's in UK for PhD from where I got in total 3 rejections for scholarship.
What I will do now? I am badly looking for a paid position in UK as I am an overseas student. Do I still continue going to my proposed guide and if yes how it is beneficial? Do she will give me reference in future for getting a paid position?

If any one answer to this it will be very helpful for me.

Many thanks

Regards

Hi Nieky,

Thank you for the reply. I had applied for Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Programme when I was in India but unfortunately I am not nominated for interview. This may suggest that the competition is very tough.
I am looking for other places but since as an international student there is limited opportunities available.

I am not sure when the search of finding PhD place ends.

Regards
Nikita
