I have always looked for a word that would help me understand hypothesis better and I found it you just said "prediction". Thank you so much, your vidoes are so easy to understand especially how you use examples.
I have been rejected recently in a PhD position I was very excited about and now I feel pretty demotivated to keep on applying. I would really appreciate if you could do a video about application rejection or something like that and how to keep being motivated to find a PhD or another type of job. Thank you, love your channel!
Thanks for the video, Amina! Well explained, I could identify some weak points in my application. Your know-how was so helpful! I used to think the project should be more impersonal, you just give the best advise, I should put my experience with the theme in the project too. Greetings from Brazil!
Such a useful video! It seems to me that it applies for research proposal rather than cover letter. The university I'm applying to has given a really vague requirement in terms of the cover letter. Namely, "A clear covering letter highlighting your interest in studying for a PhD within the remit of [this] research area". I'm not sure whether I should include my interest as a researcher or as a potential PhD student. I'd really appreciate some advice!
This is SO helpful. My undergraduate degree was in Dance, (not the most academic of studies!) and I'm wanting to apply for psychology/ Dance science, so this was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Dr Amina for the valuable information you shared with us. I really appreciate the work and effort you put on to give us more insights on how to write an academic request.
I was thinking about getting a PhD but I honestly couldn't put up with the bs involved in applying, only to get robbed economically and then not even expect a slight change in my salary . It's there for people that can and actually want it, do not get it of you expect a higher pay grade.
Hello amina great work you are doing with helping us. So I was thinking does this apply to taught masters because I feel it's focused more on research masters. Please let me know what you think
Thanks for the video! There was a Phd that I recently wanted to apply to but didn’t think I’d get it because I wasn’t sure what to write in my personal statement so this video was helpful. What do you think about taking a gap year before doing your PhD/masters? Do you regret not taking a year out to travel or have fun? Also what are you doing after you graduated from your PhD?
Omg I can't believe I have found wat I hv been looking for...... ♥ Amina I'm going to email u my problem Plzzzzzzz do help me. I'm in a desperate need. Love u

Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching! Let me know if this was useful, and what you would like to see next :)
Maybe key concepts of quantitative and qualitative research. Or research methodology during research?
This is more of a research proposal and not a personal statement.
Please can I have your email?
Those tips were actually my interview questions that they asked me! Good to answer them in our cover letter!
