Hi there, my name's James. I recently graduated from Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh in Meng Chemical Engineering and I want to do a PhD. I'm looking to join this online community and hopefully learn more about how to apply and what life is like for PhDs as its still unfamiliar territory for me and I know very little about how to get a PhD I'll enjoy.

I thought I'd set up this thread and formaly introduce myself before I start posting etc. I was looking for an introductions thread in the search but I couldn't find it? if this is the wrong etiquette for you guys apologies in advance.

I'm a UK citizen, I'm considering studying in the US or Canada but I know nothing about the systems over there, do you have any advice?

Regards,
James
