You have a very good advice! My former supervisor deleted all the records of PhD students that downgraded to Mphil. So, the ratio between current PhD students and graduated one is almost 19 to 1 (co-supervised) for 6 years. I will definitely recommend your video to anyone who wants to do PhD.
Hi Andy, Do you know what we call somebody who is wise and that we can't get enough of him? We call him a SCHOOL (in Lebanon). You are a school, Andy! Thanks a lot!
*If your PhD advisor is too young, run AWAY!!* Also, I would get a job first, then do the PhD part time. It may take longer, but the path to PhD'ism is much easier and you get paid $$$$$$ !!!
@@tshepisompala2236 Yup, plus they have almost no money and no connections and are still immature. I would stay away from them like the plague. Seriously, do NOT go to a professor who is under 40.
@@johnsmith1953x I think that really depends. My supervisors are both in their 30s (my primary is currently supervising 3 PhDs). They are doing okay with money and connections. But I do find that sometimes are not as confident as I would like a supervisor to be. (I'm based in UK so I don't know, maybe things are different in other countries)
Wow you would not have found much evidence for my group. We didn't have a webpage other than an official one the institute ran because nobody wanted to do something like that. Most people did very little social media and kept their social life and work life separate. We would go out to things like pub quiz's, meet for dinner etc. but nobody put any of that stuff on social media. What you would find is that most people in the group graduated and went on to get jobs in industry. I think you need to be careful with some of these things when you look at PhDs in other countries. In Germany a lot of this stuff seems much different.
Great timing, with the video - it's PhD application time in Australia. It's tricky trying to find something to do when every university you look at has a different way of doing things. Some have a webpage devoted to projects and supervisors while others don't even bother with much info at all and in many cases project aren't even listed at all. There's nothing much on seek, Nora or scholarship.db etc. Does anybody know a good website to find projects ? Wanting to do pure maths (thinking maybe algebra, topology, pde's, number theory) preferably in Canberra/Melbourne that has a stipend to cover on campus accommodation and meals. But would look elsewhere if the project was awesome. BSc (maths physics) GPA 6.5 MScStud (coursework - pure mathematics) GPA 7.0.
@@DrAndyStapleton In India, usually, for a majority of universities, the PhD processes are completely manual and face-to-face in terms of the (excellent) informational points you covered in the video.
@@CoolCat847 congrats! It can be really good experience that carry you up. Because you will get more care. You can have more meetings He/she will be aware of you are the first
This channel is for him to talk about himself. As all academics he is arrogant. Universities are different, professors, and fields. Not everything works as he says this is his experience. I hate people that always use examples of their personal life, you can do that one time but not always! he always ends up speaking about himself.

You are a school, Andy! Thanks a lot!
In Asia it's very common SV has between 8 to 15 candidates under their wings.
This was the video that I was waiting for.....Thanks
These are VERY good advices. I wish this video existed at the beginning of my phD 😅
Mr Stapleton, please do a video on PhD by publication, Thank you
Great question. Great request 👍🏽

100000% agree! A young supervisor definitely gives a run run. They still trying to prove themselves and will be on your case tremendously

When you say young like how many years old you mean young ?
Can you specify little bit more ?
My current supervisor is a very pretty, very young (mid 30s) Asst. prof. Am I cooked? 💀
Hi Andy, just wondering what software you use to edit your videos to add in all of the fancy features? They look great!
Our lab has 25 students (3 PhD+22 masters) 4 research assistants +1 Assistant researcher+1 PostDoc😅 Our supervisor doesn’t have time.
Hello Dr. Thank you for the video. I have been following for sometime now. Can you please help review my SOP and CV for me?
Does supervisor have more ideas to work on? How will they manage?

Thanks for the informational content Andy. One friendly advice man, buy a new chair :P

Wish I had seen this three years ago 😂😭
What about labs that don't have updated websites ?
It's common for labs not update their websites regularly. Check out their social media for hints of culture...

What if supervisor never graduated any phd student ?
you kind of be first phd student of your supervisor ?
I'm currently joining one. Essentially you cannot know and have to trust it.

To control ur creativity and make sure u wont come up with something beyond thier capabilities
