Hi everyone
I am looking for a funded phd place at one of the UK , US universities in engineering.
Is there any disadvantage in emailing lots of professors to know if they are willing to give me a place ?
I mean, I intend to write for tens of professors, do they have a shared data base or anything, or do they discuss that kind of stuff with each other ?
Probably not an advanced question, but I was just wondering
Thanks
Hi Tango,
As an initial search, you could look at FindAPhD for all the engineering courses- these have little icons which say whether the projects are funded or not. They will also list the PhD supervisor for each project, and if you click on this name it will produce an enquiry form where you can write a message to send to the supervisors for any of the projects you are interested in.
I hope this helps, good luck with your PhD search!

No email away. They might talk but they might not. There is no database. I know lots of international students that have got their PhDs this way. They were funded by their governments though.
