I am glad that you found my videos informative and useful. Coming to your question, firstly, it's a great question and very logical. So starting application does not mean that you directly start sending your documents. First step in starting the application process begins with preparation of your documents that are your motivation letter, research proposal, gathering information about which labs and professors are working in the field of your interest. All this takes time, at-least 2-3 months for most of the students. If your long term plan is to get a PhD from abroad you need to look at open position advertisements and see what kind of skills they have asked for and since you start the process from your 3rd semester, you have the time to choose a suitable topic for your Master thesis project, that would latter help in landing a PhD position. Otherwise, students end up doing a Master thesis which is not very related to what they really want to do in their PhD. Once the documents are prepared, then also you might be doing your master thesis, but you can apply for positions for which the start date is after you finish your Master degree. For those positions you can mention the research work that you have done so far during the Master program and also mention what would be the possible outcome of your Master thesis work. For 90% students first 9 to 10 applications are rejections, but that would help you to understand what you are doing wrong. This extra time simply provides you some room to make mistakes in your application and helps to get students in the rhythm. By this way there is very high possibility that you land a PhD position right after your Master's without a drop year. I hope this will help you. All the best for your applications.

@Durdam's Catalogue Thank you so much for your response, it helped me clear my doubts. you're doing great work. Keep going.❤️

Yes

Yes, you are eligible

I am not from this field so can't really suggest you university but try to search across Europe to increase your chances.

You must add the conferences in your CV. That is the whole benefit of attending conferences and workshops. You can show them as part of your CV. That is very beneficial

A very interesting question. Since you already are in Europe and your Masters is also from EU, you do not need to give IELTS exam again. For the visa situation, I think you would need to apply for it again. So recently, a colleague of mine who finished his PhD from Italy came to Germany for further PostDoc position and he had to apply for the Visa. It was a research Visa. So the process is, the HR dept. of the University/Institute where you got the PhD position contacts the embassy for your visa. There could be the case where you directly have to contact the embassy regarding your visa. But you should contact the HR dept. first to get some info. about this. Hope this helps. All the best for your applications.

If you have relevant research experience in your field of interest, it would not be very difficult to get a PhD position.

No, it's not. I work in Fraunhofer, and my German is A2 level. English is sufficient.

@@durdamscatalogue Thank you so much for the quick response. God bless you in all your endeavors

You need to start looking of open funded PhD positions in Germany in your field i.e. Economics. Once you find a relevant advertisement, start preparing your application and documents. The application process will most likely ask you to upload your documents as scanned pdf on their portal or email them to some email ID. It's quite straight forward. The main challenge is to prepare good CV, motivation letter, cover letter. That's the tricky part. For this you need to have good experience in your field and good writing skills. Watch other videos on my channel, to save you some time I would recommend watching this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oJuYeJlo3M7SZIU.html I will release a new video next week explaining the process from scratch. So stay tuned and all the best for your applications.

In Europe and US no one writes email with Respected sir/Madam. We don't address our professor by Sir or Mam. We address them by their name. No matter how senior they are. When you are trying to get accepted for a position in these places, you are expected to know these things and use them according. It's not like, by not adding Respected we don't respect them. But to them it would be more natural if you use Dear Prof. X.

As long as you can show that you are working in a project for the time duration, that won't be a gap. Because you are in touch with the field. These experiences would boost your application. You have more content to write in your motivation and cover letter.

@@durdamscatalogue all right! thanks

​@@durdamscatalogue hy I have done by thesis in women's participation in household decision making how can I go to PhD program

That's rare. These kinds of integrated programs are more common in the USA. However, some universities provide it. But I would not recommend it. You never know if you like to do a Phd. from that same lab where you did Masters. Basically, it's too big of a commitment. You need to be sure about the supervisor, lab environment, etc.... If you do your masters from Germany it's very easy to get a Phd. position after that. So why go for an integrated program. It's not like it will save your time.

Yes, your master thesis is a very crucial part of your PhD application. That is your main research experience. In case you do not have any, then I would recommend to join some research lab and gain some experience before starting your application.

Can you please help me out to solve my query actually as I said earlier i have completed my Masters in geology with cgpa 8.7 and how can I enroll to PhD course. Do you have any idea please guide me I am totally unaware of it and no proper abroad websites are helping me for PhD they are only for master n under grad as you know already. 😑😔

Well there are plenty of students who get a PhD position without any publication. So do not worry too much. If you have solid research background you would land a position. Question: Also I had done a 1day workshop under the sponsorship of Forest department of Assam for students of class 9-10 on mathematics. Will this be beneficial mentioning this in my cv and motivational letter? Answer: you can mention this on your CV as extra curricular activities but for a PhD position this would not help much. All the best for your applications.

@@durdamscatalogue Sir in which month does the universities starts their admission programs? Because now I can't find much vacancies for my subject? Should i approach some professors with the research field I want to join without any advertisement for phd program under him/her?

No, this would not affect your PhD application. They see if you have gap after MSc and if it's too long like more than a year, then it's a problem

@@durdamscatalogue ok great 👍
