Hi Neha, when you contacted these professors, did you have your PhD proposals attached to the email or just a regular email that you will want them to be your supervisor?

[@katiecalvert9143]

Hi! can i ask - do the years in a PhD in Ireland count towards residency for EU passport?

[@PScharity]

Fantastic 👏👌👍🙏

[@elegantdesignsandanimation2769]

Does the PhD duration of 4 years include the time to apply for PR after completion degree or how the PhD student of critical skills apply for PR/citizenship?

[@mugheesahmed4922]

with a fully funded phd from a university lab (engineering from UCD in my case) can we apply for any other scholarship to manage the expenses ? or if we have got admission in fully funded program then we will not be eligible for that ?

IELTs score for Visa in PHD adm

[@bananabatsy3708]

Hello Neha. I wished that you would have covered the visa process for PhD offer holders. I have an offer for fully funded PhD that also pays a stipend. So do I need to show my own finances worth that much?

[@NehaTetali]

Hey, I’m not sure about that. Write to the embassy and they’ll answer. They are usually very responsive

[@junaidrehmani9829]

Show some 2 lac INR you would be fine ,if that is the case

Long video

[@Gaurav-kb1qp]

you are wasting your time and money in ireland degrees of ireland are very low rated in global rankings it was better if you would have gone to US for phd or maybe it was better doing in India you will regret your decision still there is time you should withdraw from ireland and try for US dont waste your precious time in ireland its dumb place to be there

[@NehaTetali]

I don't think I will regret my decision, I have learnt so much from my supervisor and my College already. Firstly, rankings do not matter, since what matters is your research work and your goals. Secondly, if rankings did matter, Ireland is still ranked very well. In my opinion, it is a great place for higher education, and fits in with my personal goals too. If US/India is your preference, do apply there and feel free not to watch this video. Thanks for commenting!

[@joedaquisto]

I have a Bachelors from USA, and am from USA. I have a Masters from Canada and I will never study in USA again. Canada was the best decision for my Masters as it was a much higher ranked school with a better stipend than what any of the US schools offered. That being said, I'm also looking at PhDs now outside of USA. USA is very overrated for education.

[@imrulkayes894]

Is it possible to get admission from Bsc to PhD ( except master) in Ireland.
