Hello everyone, I am Nipuni Sumanarathna. Welcome to my Channel, Re-search Life. Here, I discuss academic research, and the content is more relevant to early-stage researchers.
I did my Ph.D. at the University of Hong Kong in construction management. So, I thought of sharing my experience with you. In addition, I will interview researchers from various disciplines around the globe to hear their research stories.
I'll upload videos on finding Ph.D. scholarships, trending research areas/topics, as well as concerns such as mental health and work-life balance of researchers.

Hello mam, i want to do phd in mathematics in honk kong. Is it possible?
Do they took interview in Fellowship scholarship?
Yes
@@re-searchlife9292 what kind of question they will ask?
Hello sister, is still okay to apply without securing a supervisor before submitting the application because most of the supervisors are not responding to the emails
Should be fine. But, having a supervisor onboard would be an advantage considering the fact that HK Fellowship scheme is very competitive. Good luck on your application!
බෞද්ධ අධ්‍යනය කරන්න එනවා නම් කරන්න එන විදිය පොඩ්ඩක් කියන්න පුළුවන් ද Phd උපාධි සදහා...(scholarship ගන්නවා නම් ඒ කොහොමද කියල?)
Hku එකට
ස්වාමින්වහන්ස. මම දන්න තරමින් බෞද්ධ අධ්‍යාපනය සඳහා PhD දෙන්නෙ HKU පමණයි. අනිත් PhD applications වගේම මේ සඳහාත් apply කරන්න තියෙන්නෙ සැප්තැම්බර් 1 - දෙසැම්බර් 1 දක්වා කාලය ඇතුලේ. Hong Kong Fellowship වගේම University Scholarship වලටත් PhD එකට apply කරනකොටම Apply කරන්න පුලුවන්. ඔබවහන්සේට තව විස්තර මේ පහල link එකේ තියෙනවා. www.buddhism.hku.hk/programme_02.htm

Can i get this scholarship if my bachelor degree has low GPA? But i have master degree with excellent GPA + 7 publications ( two first authored)?
You can try! Good luck!
Hi! Thank you so much for the video!! Do you have any idea what would be the GPA required for the HKPHD scholarship? My GPA from master is 3.21 and im not sure if this is something major for the screening.
They usually consider first classes or second upper + MSc. This might vary! Better to talk with a potential supervisors first!
Hii mam I m studying final year of masters in social work. I want to do PHD in social work in any university of Australia. Can u suggest me best University and procedure to apply for scholarship and in which month forms will apply for scholarship.. and what will be the process of getting scholarship
I am afraid I am not an expert in the area of social work! But try search on internet. Always look for uni/department ranking. The same procedure applies usually!
Thanks for this insightful video.Please, I’ll like to know if you funded your Tuition fees, accommodation and transportation fees yourself or the fellowship scheme covers all these??
It covers all!
Thanks for the prompt reply!
Hello Mam. Can you please mention how much application fees for HKU?
The non-refundable application fee is HK$450
Thanks dear. I need to learn more
Our pleasure! Good luck! 😊
Can you please do a Phd - International Business management.. In Australia
Please send me your email, i need phd degree admission in chemical engineering
Hi. My daughter is doing pg in construction mgmnt in India frm IIT Madras. She desires a lot to pursue phd abroad.. Is it affordable for a middle class family lik ours to do it in Australia and whether she will get scholarship..
If she wins a full scholarship, yes it's affordable to live in Australia. You can check the eligibility criteria published in the official websites of universities. I think she can!
Check my video- how I got into HKU where I discussed the eligibility criteria. Whether it's Hong Kong or Australia, the eligibility is pretty much the same!
@@re-searchlife9292 ❤thank u
@@re-searchlife9292 ❤thanks dear
You had ielts score at the time of applying?
Yes. But it was not mandatory as the medium of my first degree is English!
hello, am from Iraq and iam planning to study PhD in Sydney, can you recommend any consultant for me ?
Hi Ali, I don't think they contacted any consultants! Usually we submit the application online and it is very easy and straightforward. Good luck!
I love that statement which “Life without challenges is kind of boring life” 👏
😊
Hi can u tell me how many hours can a phd student work? Normally they get an unlimited work hour visa right unlike normal students. I got an offer for a professional doctorate program, so i wanna know how i can continue to work while doing the studies. Pleas help
Hello. Thanks for the question. In HK, you can’t work unless you get a specail permission from the Immigration Director. In Australia, you can. Better to ask from your university or school. Usually they mention the conditions in the offer letter.
@@re-searchlife9292 please give reply of my question must
Hi, quick questions. Would you know if it would be possible to get a full scholarship for Master's by research students
I have no knowledge of this. Better to ask from the university(ies) that you like to start your degree or google search (it always helps). Good luck! 😊
Daily how many hours on an average you work as a PhD student?
It depends on the supervisor, work load and personal preferance. Most I have seen is 9-6. That also changes when you have a deadline.
Hi, Is your thesis on supply chains under the PhD CRICOS Course code of Business (Management), or Engineering and related fields? I am looking for something similar to do.
Hi, Construction Management!
Thank you so much for the video! I just made my application for 2 dif. universities! Can I contact you in private to ask you some questions?? Thank you and very supportive and orientate video !
Hi, thank you for the comment. Sure, you can contact me via [email protected]
I have query I want to apply for undergraduate program(2022) in hkust/hku but i got 82% in my class 12 should I apply for it or not is there is any chance that I got accepted and one more request can you please tell me what is more requirements for hkust admission please reply
Hello Ashutosh. I am not familiar with ungergraduate programs. Sorry I could not be much of help to you. However, check for admission requirements mentioned on the website and send an email to the assigned person/division if you have any other concerns.
Hi can you tell me how much did you pay for hotel in corona virus pendamic ?
Hi Ameli, I started my PhD in 2016. So I didn’t want to pay for quarantine! If you want to know the cost for quarantine, search on Google. The details can be found very easily.
So I have to come up with a research proposal or just contact a supervisor from a field I like first?
Hello Mr. Mamba. I’d first contact the supervisor with my CV. If he/she is willing to consider either I can present a proposal or we (supervisor and I) can develop a proposal. It depends on the supervisor.
@@re-searchlife9292 Thanks a lot, I'm asking because I heard someone say they just approached a supervisor from a field they liked and asked if the supervisor has any project that the student may do for PhD studies
Yes. That’s another approach. It’s all about communication. When you have a common scholarship scheme like HKFS or University scholarship scheme (PGS), it’s easy to approach and ask.
@@re-searchlife9292 Thanks a lot, i needed this information.
Pleasure is mine! All the best!
The video is very informative. I appreciate your way of presentation. Stay blessed!
Thank you very much! 🙏🙏🙏
I've been recently looking at these areas. So glad I found this channel. Very useful content. You earned a subscriber :) More power to you!
Thank you very much for the encouraging comment 🙏
Hello mam, im just curious to know whether hong kong has any university which does not ask IELTS . Is it not enough if we have studied our bachelor in English?
Hello Thisara, You don’t need to fullfil IELTS min tequirement if the medium of your degree is English. Still, better to confirm it with your surpervisor.
@@re-searchlife9292 Thank you so much
Mam can you share link of University which are taking admission in phd
Please check the description of this video.
Many universities have funding schemes and award scholarships for international students. You can check official websites of universities you like to join. In addition, government scholarships like HK fellowship schemes are there too.
Great job and keep it up 👌
Thanks Derek!
I wish to know about phd in biotechnology in Australia ,its requirements.could you please reply me?
Hi. My expertise and experience are related to Built Environment. Therefore I am not capable of providing specific details. Yet, according to my understanding, the requirements discussed in the video would be applicable despite being different areas.

Hi. I have done Masters in Clinical psychology from India with 73% marks. But I don't have any research paper published or any research done. I really want to enrol in PhD from Australia but afraid enough for the process of getting admission there in PhD. Is it really necessary to have research papers done for applying there?
Hi, most of the time, yes. Having prior research experience would be an advantage in the selection process. But, you may have a chance based on your other qualifications. Each case would be different, so giving a generic idea would not be reasonable. If I were you, I’d contact a potential supervisor first and ask whether he/she would like to add me to his/her research team. Most of the time, supervisors know the selection criteria and they can really tell whether you have a chance or not. Good luck! P.S. You may need to check whether the Australian universities accept international students these days due to the pandemic situation.
Thanks a lot. Could you please make an elaborated video on the process of application and process of PhD in Australia and scholarships also?
I did my PhD in Hong Kong and I am more farmiliar with the application process in HK. Yet, there are several similarities when the process is concerned. First thing would be finding a supervisor, develop a proposal (if necessary with him or by yourself-that too vary) and then, filling in the online application (most of the time). If you’re short-listed then you have to face an interview. Finally, the university let you know whether you’re selected or not.
@@re-searchlife9292 Noted. :) thanks a bunch. Will try my best now.
You’re welcome! All the best!
Mam, what are the things to note when applying to UG programs at HKU.
It can vary. So, send an email to research.life specifying the program(s). We will provide some useful info and links.

Thank you! Keep watching us 😊
Is it necessary to have publications to get selected? Without those do we have a chance?
It depends! But yes, having publications is an advantage most of the time.
Can I get personal contact or any email id ...any one of them...? I want to talk them personally
Actually she is my aunt and she is super cool. Her carrier advancement is gorgeous and I thank you for having her in this interview 😄😄
Thank you for the comment. Yes, her journey is inspiring! 😊
Is GRE required for admission in PhD.
As far as I know, GRE is not required to apply for PhD in Australia. Check university websites for eligibility and requirements.
Very useful tutorial 👏👏👏

This is another episode of Re-search Life interview series, where Ph.D. fellows and students are invited to discuss their experiences and achievements of their PhD journeys. Today we have Dr. Ruchini Jayasinghe and Dr. Kaushalya Weththasinghe with us. These two young doctors started their journey in academia by completing the first degree, B.Sc. (honours) in Quantity Surveying at University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka with a first-class. Both of them worked as temporary lecturers at the Department of Building Economics, University of Moratuwa. In 2016, they were awarded full Ph.D. scholarships by two reputable universities in Australia. Dr. Ruchini Jayasinghe completed her Ph.D. in Construction Management at University of South Australia. She is currently working as a teaching academic at the same university. Dr. Kaushalya Weththasinghe completed her Ph.D. in Architecture, Building and Planning at University of Melbourne.
