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
