I want to thank the findaPhD team for the help they gave and all the forum users too that made me become succesful at the ORS this year at the uni of Southampton for a chem. PhD Thanks guys

Dear Dev

You can show your gratitude even more by writing a short piece for our PhD life section. That way others can benefit from your experiences and you could win a £50 Amazon voucher (see this thread).

Pick your own topic - How to get an ORS, My first week at a UK university, Unexpected costs of UK study, whatever you think would most help or entertain people visiting FindAPhD.

Good luck with your PhD.

Congratulations! You did what I couldn't even dream about. Could you tell a bit about your qualifications/average grades, etc.? Good luck in your studies and research for PhD!

I got a chemistry degree from my country but also while doing that I got a IT degree froma UK university (external). I got first classes in both, and came first and got a gold medal in the chem degree for overall best performance. I also got a band score of 8.5 out of 9.0 for the IELTS exam. I hope that helps.

Oops I got my name wrong there sorry for the typo error. I always wanted to know this myself when I wanted to apply for the ORS but never found anyone to ask, maybe I should write that short piece in this site after all. Bye

Congrats Dev! By the way, what's an ORS?

an ORS is OVERSEAS RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/ors/ CHECK THIS SITE FOR MORE INFO

Ah, thanks Dev. Those are really competitive, well done!
