a one unit lab course in UP takes so much time in and out of the classroom!

but don't worry, once you get here, your supervisor will most likely help you all throughout. In Germany, most PhD positions are employment jobs - you get the same benefits and pay the same taxes like every body else. so kung andito ka na, hindi ka papabayaan ng PI mo.

- defend you MSc thesis again
- apply for PhD candidacy in your Faculty

before ako nag-apply for PhD positions, kinuha ko na yung mga docs na ito from UP. kuha ka din ng duplicate/ triplicate copies para sure na isang beses mo lang siya gagawin
