I have submitted which mini project I want as my PhD! I will find out officially on 29th which one I will be doing. When I find out I will be able to give you some information and what I am studying, and I will be writing some fairly long posts describing things I am interested in.
As I am interested in disease I am thinking that each week I may post about a different disease to enlighten people especially those who are new to these subjects.
This morning I would like to give anyone out there who is thinking of doing a phd some tips from my experience so far.
- Keep your CV up to date as much as you can
- Make a list of any conferences/meetings that you go to
- Research the university you are applying for
- Look at the research areas of the supervisors you are applying to
- Look at other places you can possibly get funding
- Visit the university and have a look around the department if you can
I hope the above advice is helpful to people.
Basic, sound advice that applies for any job application I would think.
