Apply for International Summer Internships

Research Collaborations

This is really important. Why look for a potential supervisor within your university when there are millions of professors out there? Reach out to professors early in your degree, email them, discuss your interests, seek potential collaboration. Ask if they can co-supervise you, or maybe just collaborate with you on a research project. Then talk to your local supervisor and they’ll happily agree for collaboration.

The second best part is that you don’t have to worry about travel grants anymore, the foreign prof will do that for you. And the first best part is that you’ll get his name on your thesis, on your research article, and on your CV.

If You Have To Ask Things Like

• “Which program is best for my field?”
• “Which scholarship is available?”
• “What is required in a master or a PhD”

A Guide for Young Students Aspiring Higher Education Abroad, My background is engineering so engineering graduates might find it the most useful but I think, it is largely applicable in all fields.

If you have to ask things like “Which program is best for my field?” “Which scholarship is available?” “What is required in a master’s or a PhD” Frankly, you are not yet ready for even a consideration into such study programs abroad. More frankly, I’ve also been through this stage in my career. So there is nothing wrong with thinking about such questions. However, here is the sequence of events that you should follow.

After that, your questions would be more clear, goal-oriented and to the point instead of being open-ended, generic and not very useful

•  Identify your areas of expertise (The subjects in BSc which gave you the highest grip and grades both)
• Identify your areas of interest (The subjects in BSc which got you extremely interested and curious about them)
• Finally, find the common subjects in above both categories and ask yourself: In which field out of these, will I never get bored even if it meant working my whole life into it? That is YOUR AREA. Note it down. Keep it safe
• In the identified areas, start googling universities of different countries, relevant departments, faculty profile, their recent research publications (most important). Start studying those papers which seem most interesting to you
• Meanwhile, try to do IELTS and GRE For this We would recommend you to join IELTS and TOEFL /GRE Preparation Classes
• Finally, you will shortlist the departments and professors, make research proposals in line with their current activities/ambitions. If interested, they will invite you to apply for admission.
• There you go but be ready mentally and be flexible enough because you might find yourself landing in an altogether different field than what you prepared for during this process.

Now here is a list of scholarships you may apply for it now:

• 600 Scholarships in Saudi Arabia 2021 Fully Funded
• 240 Singapore Government Scholarships For International Students 2021 (Fully Funded)
• Sweden Scholarships Spring 2021 (Fully Funded) – Study in Sweden Universities
• University of Salerno Scholarship In Italy 2021 Fully Funded

But that is the point: By following this procedure once, you have proved that you can follow it again and this is precisely what research is about. You can follow your personal interests and ambitions after your Ph.D.

The methodology presented above is mostly for top universities of America, Canada, Australia, Europe, or even the UK (sponsored research/degree). For other countries, it might be a little different or relaxed but it is still a better and recommended way of pursuing your ambitions
