| Description | The program coordinator said: "This year was an exceptional year for different reasons: because of the COVID problems, the budget had been tightened and we have received almost three times the number of applications we usually have. There was a high demand from all the departments of the school to have Ph.D. students, and only a small amount of them could be granted." | ||||

| Description | I emailed an Iranian faculty in Geotechnical Engineering and I was interviewed two times. Had not finished my master's program when I applied but I had a very interesting topic for my thesis. I received a fully-funded offer in both MSc and PhD but I did not apply since I had an offer from a higher University. I was sure I will not accept it. | ||||
