I cant afford Phd expenses by my own and so far government is concerned, I don't know how to look into UK government scholarships for Pakistani students.
About Pakistani government scholarships, they are mostly bounded where students have to return to their home country after Phd.

What about university own scholarships?

Hi Everyone,

I am Sam from Pakistan, completed my MBA last year and now planning of pursuing PhD from abroad ( preference is UK). I am thinking of taking TOEFL and GRE to strengthen my application process as I don't have any publication and research background.

I want to ask that how much GRE would help me getting accepted for Phd in UK ? and how much score should I obtain for this purpose ?

Waiting for some valuable suggestions.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have done MBA (1.5 years) in 2015 from Pakistan. I don't have good research skills nor have any publications. That is why I am having great difficulties in writing Research Proposal and approaching universities for PhD on scholarship in UK.

Recently I have attended seminar by officials of University of West of Scotland. One of representative advised me to opt DBA from UWS as it is economical and don't involve any research proposal phase.
When I inquired that for DBA, universities need work experience,he said UWS need that if you are applying after 3 years of your last degree.

What should I do now ? Does DBA have good career prospect in UK?

Hi,

I am trying to write a research proposal but having lots of difficulties as how to write. I just need help from phd students who have gone through this phase. Can any phd student share their research proposal with me relating to finance field.

Would be highly appreciated such help.

Thanks for this and what about publications? like I don't have any publications yet and I heard from many consulting firms that because I don't have any publication so I shouldn't think about PHD. Does this really matter ?

Hi everyone,

I am from Pakistan,did my MBA last year. Now I am thinking of pursuing PHD from abroad but I have a lot of questions in my mind.
As there are so many students here doing PHD or some are done with their PHD so I am pretty much sure that by posting this,I will surely gain something good. PHD students can guide me well.

Before pursuing PHD, what kind of research skills do you really need ? is it important to have good research skill in hand before applying for PHD?

This is the most important question for me so far. is there anyone who can help me please?
