No im not trolling. Just want to understand more because I dont c it so difficult to enter masters course and stuff. My coursemates who graduated just look for any supervisor and they are more than willing to accept since they are desperate for students. There are not so many phd compare to undergrads because students are not interested in doing post grad. If they want do you think its difficult for them to enter? They dont even need to sit for entrance exam or anything like entering bachelor course. Just look for a supervisor and u get to enter post grad course.

=.= i feel insulted. Honestly, I feel like that. Too lazy to explain, anyone willing?

No i didnt mean to insult anyone. SOrry if thats how you feel. I will stop on this topic

i also no energy to explain...too lengthy and i lazy to type them out...

I know you're not insulting anyone, but the idea that postgrad study is easy, is insulting. that's why i feel insulted.

Some fields are easy, they're just expensive and boring and tedious, but difficult? there's nothing "difficult" in this world if you have good lecturers and good books, and you can do your own research. The only problem is the cost and the time.

Yeah, some field is easy, but the idea of not using brain for postgrad study? it's ri'donkey'lous

the hard part for me is what kind of new research can i do...

Most professors just don't simply accept u because of the research proposed...

No what i mean was post grad study is definitely difficult thats why im asking those that doesnt require brain so much. Yes just like the one woodenus said. The ones that only need tedious work.


Thats the kind of course in asking about

Well, if that's what you want, then it really depends on what you like and interested, and what you're capable of doing. As for me, I like biology and I have no talent for accountancy, economics, arts or math. so obviously, biotechnology is an 'easy' field for me compared to the other fields mentioned.

hehe this is interesting, could i ask both of u, who suggest there is an easy phd, fify85 and another lowyat.net member, could u prove it is easy?

such as, could u take that "easy" course and graduate with a phd? pls. im dying to see how easy u guys can obtain it. =)

btw, no entrance requirement? maybe for ur field, but i obtained first class in my engineering degree to get into my phd. and for me, my phd is quite hard. Maybe yours dont need to do even degree to get a phd? maybe perhaps, coz u make it sounds so easy.

ditto, I've been thinking of '"easy" course and graduate with a phd' since fify85 post the question, for days, I couldn't think of any. One course might be easier to one from another, but it's not that easy.

If you think PhD as a mean to get more money, then you think wrongly. It's a 'quest' for knowledge. I believe anyone who's doing PhD have deep appreciation of knowledge. If not, why would they "waste" five years?

I'm only a MSc student, but you project it to see what PhD like. For MSc admission, I obtained second upper class in my biotech degree (3.30 cgpa). pointers 3 above is not that easy to get. I also need to prepare a research proposal, and writing proposal again, is not easy. Recommendations from someone like supervisors during degree or mentor also required. There are no exams for entrance, but the requirements is high.

I can prove it if you're willing to pay for it

mind telling us what field/course you gonna take if someone willing to sponsor for it.

don't tell me it's some degree mill from somewhere in the internet...

I forgot about degree mill until you point it out...lol...with money anything can happen these days.

anyway,

random trivia (maybe you guys know already) : Brian May (Queen guitarist) takes 30 years to complete his PhD study.

I'll reveal it in the blog I'm going to start if he decides to sponsor LOL

Money isn't going to drop from the sky to fund your studies...most of us fought hard for our scholarship/sponsorship one way or the other...

dude, that's a lame answer . I don't buy it

Yeah, I agree with you, not only fought hard to get, but also work hard to convince the panel we still deserved it semester after semester.
