Dear Laura,
I'm interested in the PhD you referred in previous email. However, I have
some questions to ask:
1. I'm from Hong Kong, and intended to study remotely in Hong Kong as
part-time. Is it possible?
2. If yes, normally how many years do I need to study? and how much is the
tuition fee? Do I still eligible to enjoy the studentship funding in this
case?
3. I got IELTS 7.0 in around 2008, do I still need to re-take the exam?
I finished my Master of Arts (Honours) in Multimedia Entertainment
Technology in 2009, and now would like to pursue for further study.
I'm now teaching Advertising in an university in Hong Kong, thus I can't
really take the PhD course as full-time.
Sorry for bringing up so many questions.
Thanks.
Regards,
Raptor
