Hi,
My name is Anjali. I did Masters in computers from india in 2012. I live in Ipswich.,Suffolk.i want to pursue phd in computers now.i have no idea how to apply for phd.University of Suffolk is very near to my place I would prefer to do phd from there.
Can anyone please tell me some useful links how can I apply for phd. I have a lot of gap in studies I don't even have idea in which topic should I do research.
Before admission do I need to select my research topic.
Could anyone please tell me the whole procedure?

I feel obligated to mention find https://www.findaphd.com/ the benevolent owners of this forum. Seriously they have a lot of good advice on the PhD process that will answer a lot of the basic questions. They also advertise a lot of PhD opportunities.

Usually in the UK you apply to a pre-funded with a chosen topic. Alternatively you can write your own research proposal and apply for funding yourself and if you are mad you can self fund. Honestly I would look around PhDs advertised and start applying to the ones that you find interesting.
