i'm just a master student waiting for results
but if you were to ask me
i would say go for your phd
since you don't have to worry about the tuition fees
why bother entering the job market now
you have decades to earn the experience needed
most of the time is really about how fast you learn
unless you really have no interest in continuing with the research, i would say no harm taking up phd

well, anyway just my opinion

Opportunity knocks. Go grab the phd now. Experience will always come later when you start working.

universities usually give exemption to first class graduate
so you should be able to skip master and do your phd straight right?

Not all, USM require me to do master first.

One more thing, it sound a bit naive to me but I'm curious: doing my phD in University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus = University of Nottingham.
The word 'M'sia Campus' will affect alot? I mean the world ranking for University of Nottingham is 21st, do the same apply for M'sia Campus?

Naive hor? sweat.gif

no, is not naive at all
is good to find out and be sure about it

but i'm thinking if can, i might consider phd in Malaysia Campus
