Hi guys,

I'm applying for Summer School and one of the documents that I have to send is synopsis of my main topic of study. I would be very grateful if someone can tell me what should it included? Does it mean a study plan (with all courses that I attended) or it is a brief description of what exactly I study? But if it is the second one, I already described it in the motivation letter.
Thank you in advance for your help :-)

Hi, guys!
I am going to apply for PhD, but I have a little problem with referees. I would like to know if it is obligatory one of the reference letters to be from my supervisor of master thesis? I ask this question, because I am not on good terms with him and it will be difficult to give me a recommendation letter. I am planning to ask two of my teachers at university, who are not completely familiar with my research experience. So, I would like to know what is your opinion?
10x in advance for your help.

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and I would be very grateful if somebody can help me. I would like to apply for PhD position at Medical University of Vienna and I contacted with their Office for PhD students. They said that the first step in PhD application is to find a PhD supervisor by myself. My question is how to write letter to my prospective supervisor? What should the letter contain?
Thank you in advance for your help and time.
