Thank you so much TreeofLife! the deadline for application is today, you help me a lot.

Anyone? Please

Hello,
I am in the process of applying PhD in engineering and I found some PhD positions that match my interests in a university in Sweden. The university webpage has 4 PhD positions which each position has a slightly different description with the others and all of them will be supervised by one professor. I believe that I have qualifications required by these 4 positions, so I would like to know that it is appropriate for applying all positions? and if I apply, Can I use the same personal letter, CV etc. to all of them?

Thank you very much for suggestions.

Dear B108, thank you for sharing, you have been finding for 1.5 year, I wish you good luck and get funding very soon.

Dear satchi, Thank you very much for your information, I will have a look on your link :)

Thank you very much. It is not possible for me to apply PhD scholarship from government as I already got scholarship to study MSc (no one can apply scholarship twice). It seems I need to wait for a funded programme for worldwide that match my interest or try to apply in Europe.

Hello, I am an overseas student and I am now applying PhD in the UK. I graduated with MSc Marine Engineering (Distinction for both dissertation and overall) from Newcastle University. I got BEng in Marine Engineering from my country with GPA 3.2/4.0 (quite low, but it is the second highest of the class, the highest is 3.3/4.0). In my MSc course at Newcastle, I also studied the preliminary year programme in the first year which is equivalent to the final year of undergrad degree and I got 71%. I also have 2 year work experience as a marine engineer onboard ship.

It has been 2 months that I emailed to potential supervisors (around 12 Uni) who have the same research interests as me,but only one replied that my proposal was interesting but no funding offer. I searched for available funded projects, but most of them for UK/EU and have very few projects that match my area of focus. I think, the problem is that my MSc dissertation focuses on electrical systems (Electric ship), while the nature of Marine Engineering is Mechanical Engineering. If it is that case, I will have problems to apply PhD everywhere as my focus area is always in the department of electrical engineering in every university I applied. I also emailed to some supervisors in Europe, but still got no reply.

From this situation, is it possible for me do PhD with my own project and get funding? or I should apply available funded project which I think very hard for overseas students like me.

Thank you very much.
