Doing PhD?


Are you about to graduate very soon? Are you aiming PhD? Are you mad? You haven't had enough of books and assignments? You want to do PhD but you don't have money to pay your fees? Or you have money and you want to pay it yourself? which in that case I would say you should be a millionaire or you don't know that you can find scholarship for continueing your studeis!
Well, I suggest first make up your mind! PhD takes minimum three years and you should be prepare for it financially, physically and emotionally! Once you start it, your whole life and time will be dedicated to it! You will become part of it. Well I can't help you with your emotions or physics but I can help you with finding the right scholarship for doing PhD! If you want to do PhD in UK, this is the right time for you to start. Have you prepared your CV (resume)? If not then start it today. Then you need to search for available funded projects, where? it is easy! Just go to:
and find your subject there, then click search, go through all the projects, take a note of the available projects, salary, person in charge and of course the dead line! Then start...send them a letter containing your CV and education history. I strongly suggest to call the project holder in person and ask for more information or go and visit the university in person. Don't forget to book an appointment! It will help you a lot. Bottom line, hurry up, there are only limited funds for PhD students and if you leave it for next year it might be too late!
Good luck!
