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.

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.  icon_idea.gif

Thank you for the tips sir notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

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?  hmm.gif

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

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.
http://www.ece.nus.edu.sg/research/

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

Yup, it's stated in their admission requirement that international applicants have to submit GRE score.

But it is always best to check with the admission office about this issue.

I have sent an email to the School of Computing about this query and see what they have to respond.

Will keep you updated.

Irzani, the SoC replied:

Respected Madam Loo,

A Malaysian friend of mine is interested to apply for a PhD position in the Dept of Computer Science.

It is stated in the SoC website that international applicants have to submit a GRE test score along with the application.

He has never sat for any GRE exams (or any other English exams, for that matter).  However, the university that he graduated from uses English as the medium of instruction.

Can he be exempted from submitting a GRE test score together with his application?

Hope to receive your reply soon.

Thank you.

Dear Madam Loo,

Thank you for your prompt reply.

Will submitting without GRE/TOEFL affect his application chances?

Thank you.

What are you applying with SPA?

Are you applying with your Bachelor's degree? May I know your CGPA? Maybe can PM me.
