I heard from my fren who doing masters in USM now they took 1 yr from apply only can register and start their masters. Very inefficiency.

Im plan maybe take phd. Do i also need 1 yr apply before start?

that's nothing compare to half way the prof threaten you to fail you/log you never show up from the beginning, unless you pay him $$$

dafuq? Im plan to get scholarship or something

USM prof can threaten ask me pay money? Wat u mean never show up at the begining?

That day I saw your post stating your gonna open a shop or something. Doing PhD while opening a store at the same time? Or its related to one another?

yup plan to do same time cos quit job will be big risk if dun haf phd to back up

Wa can't imagine opening a shop while doing PhD at the same time.

Goodluck2

yup i also cant really imagine thats why i have to ask how long need to apply before start phd in USM?


My friend say his masters took 1 yr application

UTM = 3 weeks. meh datang sini.

wowo i din know utm so efficient. I need be at Penang. If not i already lari luar negara

meh. if have to wait 1 year, i also already lari luar negara.

The application process for USM postgraduate courses will take about 2-3 months. Where got 1 year?

My PhD application was approved just after two months I send in the application form.

Make sure you fill in your details carefully or else they will delay the application process.

u do phd now? wat field? maybe u can b my senior in future

I'm in the management field. What about you?

Haha...senior. I'm a junior oni la...

u apply phd liao senior la..

im science field

management oso got ppl do phd? cool

Got a lot of ppl doing phd in the management field lo. Some do marketing, some do strategic management, some do corporate governance...

k thnx.

1 year???? nope, i wont trust this. you send in the application, it will be processed and usually you will be called for registration the next intake. unless they have interview. you have to pass the interview. universities are trying to increase the number of masters and phd students.

but the part about the professors blackmail, i will trust. heard it so many times. that is why some uni appoint 2 supervisors for a student. if only one supervisor, u die2 also have to ampu them like hell.

i am luckier i gues. my masters' supervisor offered me phd. in ukm. since she is a very2 nice lady, i am grabbing that chance. starting my phd in september.

** FYI, any problems with your supervisor, you can voice it out or write a formal letter to the dean of postgrad. altough it might worsen your relationship with current supervisor, atleast you dont have to go through the nightmare too long. the uni will appoint new supervisor.
