hi..i hope i come in to the right forum. I have a few questions to ask, namely;-

1) What is the minimum duration to finish a Ph D course? Does it depends on the topic that i research on?
2) Which type of thesis is easier to approach, qualitative or quatitative, if i am doing a business topic?
3) Since i will be doing this course on a part-time basis, how many face to face interactions i need with my supervisor?
4) Which university is highly recommended?
5) Since i have lose touch on studies after completing my MBA, what books and links will you recommend me to read to generate a research proposal.?
6) Will any university provides a scholarship without any commtments from students? What is the minimum CGPA requirements for obtaining a scholarship?

Thanks
Marine Boy

1. Minimum duration is always 2 years but it also depends on you yourself.

2. In my opinion, quantitative would be easier. Many of my peers said so as well.

3. Up to your supervisor

4. Up to your preference and the place you stay, since you said you want to do it on a part-time basis.

5. Google Scholar and past PhD thesis at any local university library.

6. Scholarships surely require commitment from students, don't you think so.

Thank you very much for your kind response. Quantitative research needs lots of statistical computations to support hypotheses, while qualitative depends less on that which is easier right? I want to write something relating to property investment but still haven't come up with a title yet
