    PS: so many more other degrees applications will remain open until May or June!!!!

    Dear Marianaql,
    I am here to say thank you for this video. I followed the steps recommended here and I was able to get response from nearly all the lecturers I sent it to.
    For those who didn't respond immediately, I gave them a couple of weeks interval then sent a reminder mail and they responded.
    Once again I am grateful for this insightful video.
    Kindly wish me well as I continue with my application processes.
    Thank you.

    Hi, thank you this video was very helpful, could you maybe elaborate on some details of what kind of project proposal we should say in the email? Presumably we don't want the email to be super long, so could you give an example of a project proposal you would include in the email?

    Hi.. Please clear out some of my doubts regards to phd
    1. Masters through distant education is valid to apply phd
    2. Personal email id is considerable for sending emails to supervisiors?
    Please reply me

    What if we are really interested but we don't have any brilliant new idea for the supervisor?

    Hi Mariana, thanks for this useful video. Is there any difference when contacting a supervisor who offers a PhD project with pre-defined aims? Do I still need to design the study on my own for this kind of project? Thanks :)

      My project had pre-defined aims, and I worked with my potential supervisor to find the best path for my PhD and I wrote about it when I applied (I.e PhD proposal).

    Hi, how long should we take to send a follow-up email to the professor for supervision? And can we send mail during weekends too?

    Hi Mariana, this is for PhD candidates right? you don't need to find a supervisor if you're applying for a master's degree, right?

      Yes you do, in research-based masters. Mine was an MPhil and I met my supervisor before applying :)
