Thanks for the tips . Btw, do I need to write official letter - following some format and standard (attached it through email) or just a normal email?

No need official letter wan bro. Like how you write your daily e-mails to your boss lahh.

wohoo. No need official letter. Thank you again for the all the tips

No problem bro!

Final tip: pastikan engrand you tu bukan engrand yang you selalu guna kat /k/.

but but .. ayam Noted with thanks Master bb100

Another tips bro, don't forget to point out your research interest, as well as your strong points.

Potential supervisors will not feel too excited to read a "blank" email.

You also have to do some homework first. Google your potential boss' name and see what is he up to recently. One accurate way is to look at his/her recent publications.

This is not applicable to NUS SOC where PhD students are admitted without pre-assigned supervisors. They will look for supervisors only when they have started their PhD studies. Some professors even require you to do well in some courses (especially those taught by them) before agreeing to supervise you.

The admission committee most probably does not expect you to make contact with the professors but it would not hurt at all to take advantage of this.

Just a polite e-mail will do. In some cases, attaching resume and academic transcripts would be very useful.

Hi, I'm applying for universities using my forecast A-Level's results (sitting for A2 exams in June this year) but the NUS page states that SAT is required D: (I also applied for NTU which doesn't require so). Does that put NUS out of my university options? Any light on this?

Do we have any Malaysian seniors who studied/is studying Pharmacy in NUS?

Hi there . Oh yes, we do have seniors who are Pharmacy majors who come from different backgrounds including Cambridge A-Levels, STPM, SAT and Singapore A-levels.

You doing your PhD in SoC dude?

Thanks for the information. How about GRE and TOEFL/IELTS? Is it mandatory?

The next intake application deadline is in June 2014. I'll spent some time to stalk my future supervisor. Since my research interest is in cyber security, perhaps I should left some interest notes in his personal files or deface it to gain his attention.

Thank you for the tips sir

Owh, I heard from one of my friends who is doing PhD in Computing, cyber security is quite a hot topic in NUS.

I'm wondering if Computer Security related domain is also part of the research focus in Faculty of Engineering?

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

TQ

I don't think so bro. Reliable sources told me that the word "Computer" in the Dept of ECE means that they are focusing on communication and control systems, and robotics.

They have nothing to do with Computer Science or IT. Perhaps you can check out this website.

But I am very sure the School of Computing do have Security-related research under Computer Science. Check out this website.
