PhD Application Clinic At Centrepoint Hotel Business Centre
By Zasika Musdi

Bandar Seri Begawan - Applying for a PhD programme has a unique application procedure that is not used for other degree programmes.

In light of this, HRD Services Global Education Link will be running a counselling session for those interested in pursuing such a programme on April 11, at the Centrepoint Hotel Business Centre from 9.30am to 5pm.

Interested individuals are encouraged to bring their research proposal, copies of their qualifications and their CV to the counselling session.

"We have come across a number of students whose PhD application was unsuccessful, although they had the right academic background," said Dr Smita Wimmer of HRD Services. "Studying towards a PhD degree does not suit everybody. The potential student needs to have a real interest in the chosen field and should enjoy doing research."

The counselling session will involve assistance with the research proposal, help with identifying the most appropriate supervisor and support with the overall application process.

"The research proposal is a key requirement for a PhD application and a PhD coordinator at the university will very quickly pick up the suitability of the candidate from the proposal," Dr Wimmer added. "A student could have excellent academic credentials, but these do not help the applicant if the proposal is poorly written, or does not demonstrate a full understanding of the research topic."
