Let me summon another NUS Ph.D student, exquisite_markas.

Yea. Your application will be stronger if you already have a potential supervisor. Some more during the interview, the interviewers will ask u whether you sudah contact you punya supervisor.

Tak payah draft letter panjang2 bro. A few lines to intro yourself and your intentions, a few lines to describe you punya research interests, and finally ask him if he is looking for Ph.D students. Senang je bro. Lepas tu tunggu reply. biggrin.gif

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.

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

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