hey Rick.

thanks for asking:) I've managed to find a few potential supervisors - luckily many German scholars are interested in area that I would like to explore in my PhD. I have spoken to my honours supervisor and she is more than happy to write an introduction letter before I contact them. I am just waiting to finish with my MA work (October is the worse month!) and than I'll start chasing it.

I am quite confident that it will go well.

thanks

PuLsE :D

you don;'t have to be rude about it - i already am studying in english which is not my first language. I have met people who are doing their PhD in english in Germany as it is not uncommon (If you check their websites you would see that that it says that they offer phd in english)

not sure how it is with your degree but all i care about is to find a good supervisor and germany has people who specialise in what i am interested in.

secondly i do speak a bit of german however not enough in order to complete my phd.

like i said there is no need to be rude i was here just asking for information. if you are not able to help than don't bother answering.

yeah I know it takes time that's why I have started researching it now even thought i want to start my PhD at the end of next year :D

I'm not too worried about the funding, even if I don't get any I should be fine I am just freaking out that I won't be able to find a supervisor that will be interested in my topic...but that is typical of me

thanks for the info :D

Hi Rick

thanks for your reply. I am hoping to do my research in english. I do speak a bit of german but not good enough to write my research in it. I am hoping that they will allow me to do it in english. What aarea are you doing your PhD in?

was it hard to get in - I know this depends on individual supervisors and faculties...but just in general ...

does anyone know anything about this uni...I've read info on the net but has anyone studied there and if so what was your experience

hey thank you so much for the info. I have contact a few potential supervisor yesterday so I am still waiting for reply. At a few universities they told me that I need to apply with research proposal to some sort of board of examiners (advisory body) but they didn't provide me with more info. I'll try to contact DAAD about it.

Thanks

I have BA with honours in Classical archaeology and currently doing Masters in Cultural Heritage (course work) both in Australia. I am planning on doing my PhD in Germany as I have found a few experts on the topic I am interested in. I still have a problem of how to approach the whole thing - was wondering if anyone would be able to help me.

- is it possible to do your research in English (is that something that you discuss with your potential supervisor or with the faculty?)

- should you first contact potential supervisor and discuss possibilities of doing PhD or should you apply to the chosen university and than nominate supervisor (I always thought the first one would be more logical but I'm not sure)

If anyone is able to help me with this I would be very grateful.
