How to write email to Professor for MSc/PhD Admission


Every year, a good number of students are trying to get admitted into various universities abroad for MSc/PhD. Most of the cases (almost all the cases), students are trying to get admission with funding. Students must write to their potential supervisors mentioning details about themselves in order to secure the admission and/or funding. Students should convince the potential supervisors through his/her academic excellence, research profile, language score and some other extra curricular activities. That is why, writing to professor is very important. This letter should be eye-catching so that supervisor can be interested to check your details. There are many format or templates students are using frequently while writing to their supervisors. Here in this blog, we are going to share a very simple but eye-catching letter template provided by Md. Abdullah Al Faruque who is currently pursuing his PhD at Deakin University, Australia.
