Faculty of Engineering and Technology, University of Sindh, Jamshoro
Comprehensive Viva-Voce Examination of PhD (IT) 2021 Batch is scheduled on Thursday February 09 2023
A PhD normally takes three years (full-time), but you will be registered with the University for four years and expected to devote any time required in your fourth year to writing up your research. It can start at any point throughout the academic year (based on when your supervisor confirms the start date), but we strongly advise you start at the beginning of the academic year.
Successful applicants are admitted in the first instance to the MPhil degree, and are expected to pass through an Upgrade procedure from MPhil to full PhD status within one year of registration.
You will need to fill in the online form, and provide references from two academics. You will also be required to provide the transcript/certificate of your MA and a research proposal.
For the application we would expect a detailed research proposal of approximately 2,000 words (excluding footnotes and bibliography), including field of study and methodology details and an illustrative bibliography. Please upload this as a supporting document as a Word or PDF document.
Please be advised that certain funding bodies may set a different word limit so care should be taken to check the individual funding bodies application criteria on your funding application (which is often a separate process from the general PhD application system).
You are also expected to identify a potential supervisor and discuss your research proposal with them before application. You should also indicate potential supervision arrangements in your application.
