ive done taught degrees (under) all my life and never done anything research. i am wondering how research postgrad is like... having come through the school system the only thing i know is how to study, learn , then spit it out during exam... never done research before.
1) who decides what topic do you want to research? you or your lecturer? 2) can detail how is it like? 3) is research degree more valuable than taught degree?

QUOTE(malz89 @ Oct 26 2025, 08:30 PM) I have been in research most of my life. Depending on your field, you should look up for a thesis supervisor that falls within your research interest. I'll give you an example. I was a microbiology graduate. After which, I embarked on my research dealing with antimicrobial, which mainly focused on searching for new natural antimicrobial compounds. I have pretty much learned everything on bacteria, which later led me to pursue my PhD on studying virus. Basically I didn't deviate much from my undergrad. Just that I moved deeper into two main microorganisms, which are more related to human health. Of course there are others too but I decided to pick up these two as my core. So it's basically up to you to decide what you want to do. if u dont mind me asking... where did u get the money to study master/phd ? did your parents fund u? phd can take up to 4-5 years right? thats a pretty long period not working but have expenditure.
