First of all, make sure you've read the previous post before you read this one.
Second, make sure that you check what I'm writing here on the web. Why? Because what I am writing now may not be correct a couple of months later, and this post will be there on the web hopefully for quite longer than just a couple of months. So, make sure you update this information on the web for yourself.
Third, ...
alright, go on read the rest of this post!
Here is the first place for you to go to now if you have prepared everything I asked you earlier:
http://www.grs.unsw.edu.au/futurestudents/futureinternational.html
It tells you what you need to do.
Did you go there and take a look?
Alright then here is what to do next: on the same page find "Apply online"
Click on it and you'll find yourself in myUNSW page. Right in th emiddle of the page, there is an icon (a pen) and again the words "Apply online". Click that one. That will take you to another page with another button right in the middle of the page: "Create New Account". You guessed it! Click on that button. You must see the page "Terms and conditions" now. Read conditions if you wish and click on "I Accept". There will be a form for you to fill in. Fill it in and press "Save & Continue". All you will have to do then is to follow the pages and fill in all the pages answering the questions. The end satge for online application however, will be to pay 50 Australian dollars online (credit card needed). You'll need to find a way to do that, or maybe you'll find a way to send the money to the university.
Otherwise go for downloading the forms and filling them in and sending 100 Australian dollars with your application. So the problem will be the same, you'll still need to find a solution for payment method. In both of the methods (online application or sending in the forms) you'll have to send your documents in through post. Your application most probably will not get finalised before all your supporting documents arrive in Graduate Research School (GRS) in Sydney. If you did what I told you earlier, that is if you have your documents already translated, this should be easy to do now.
I'll give you the links to the forms later. And one more thing: the next step will be to apply for a scholarship!! Yes! You can do that. Germans do that, candians do that, Indians, Nepalese, and Iranian have done that too. What you need: you'll need to show that you genuinely want to be a good scientist, you'll need to show that you know the basics of research and that you have done some good stuff so far. Ahhh, come on! I didn't say you need to have solid prior scientific achievement. I just said you need to show that you are good and that you can handle a research project that you will be trusted with. All they want to make sure is that you will not be a waste of money for them and that you'll be really capable of finishing the project you start becasue the basic objective for you as a PhD student will be:
TO BECOME A PhD!
That is what these people keep telling all the students.
Best Wishes my friend
Whether you think you can, or you think you can not
both ways you are right!!!
