Phd is not easy to get. and not easy to undergo the minimum 3 years of granting it. So in this case, i would like to know, if we speand a rather long amount of time to study for Phd, and yet we can't come out with a proper study and finding, are we going to get nothing at the end of the course?

Added on May 19, 2010, 10:16 amPhd is not a master, master is done before u did your Phd, with exception of a few cases where u could directly jump to Phd from your degree if u get 1st class.

hence, MBA is considered as master, not Phd.

Totally agree!!!

do u know why those that have Phd but worst in teaching? i really wonder why they have the capabilites to achieve the highest qualifications but cannot show the capabilites in delivering the lecture. that is the most pathetic facts!=(

Normally Phd takes years of time to study, 3 years should be the minimum. my friends are going for Phd, her main reason is she loves teaching.she wants to be a scientist who can give inspirations to the many undergrds students.sound great right? lol.
besides Study for Phd, which i believe the time is quite flexible, she work part time by giving tuition just because she has the passion for it.

i agree with mostly what u have mentioned there, esp the bold statement.=)
Doing Phd is not an easy and simple task, it need a lots of passions and hardwork,a dn more importantly ur passion on research.
I believe you do have a deep interest in the research on protein fields, so only u choose to do protein engineering.
I have a foreign professor in my university who did a good and high quality research on proteins, i still remember when one of my seniors,who do not have any little ideas on how to differentiates and understand about the various protein structures, the prof can figure out and explain in a more detailed way and patiently drew out 3 dimensional description of proteins in order to boost the understanding.
He has indeed shown his deep interest in this field.

Biochem is a very general degree indeed, lots of postgrads programme u can do after the degree. =D
I would somehow have in my mind that i will venture into emzymology in near future.=)
Would you mind to mention the scholarships that u currently attached to? In what sense do you feel that Phd is more like working ?

Another thing which i would like to add on is, Phd does not limit you only to research university or lab, it is more than what u could think of, if u r an expert in a certain field, do google out what the field emcompass, look for the prospects in the field.for perhaps a consultant in a factory and other working settings, like a food and nutrition centres are also in the scope.

Would like to know how many of you who get first class degree directly jump to do Phd without a master?

What is actually the minimum requirements ofdegree CGPA of doing a master ?

The supervisor must be willing to take you in? Depend on the supervisors entirely? Well, i do believe we will have to show our good characters to the supervisor for they to take you in?
