I wanted to check if any international applicants have received a PhD offer from the School of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology (CCEB) at Nanyang Technological University.

I have applied for the upcoming intake and haven’t heard back yet. Just trying to understand the timeline and whether offers have already started rolling out.

If you’ve received an offer or any update (interview, shortlist, rejection), please share your experience. It would really help to know where things stand.

I am trying to understand something more general about academic careers in chemical engineering.

For someone aiming for a postdoc in Europe or USA or eventually an assistant professor position in India how much does the university name matter compared to supervisor research area and publications.

For example if someone chooses between Monash University and Nanyang Technological University would one have a clear advantage in terms of global visibility and academic opportunities or does it mostly depend on research output and networking.

I am not asking about admissions but about long term academic outcomes and how these choices are viewed in hiring

Would really appreciate insights from people in academia

My background - I am an Indian student planning to do a PhD in Chemical Engineering. I have options from Monash University Australia and NTU Singapore and I am confused between the two.

Hi

I’m an Indian student planning to start a fully funded PhD in Australia (monash uni). I wanted to understand the current visa situation.

Is it very difficult to get the student visa approved these days, even with full funding?

Also, how many of you are facing delays of more than 1 month in visa processing?

I’m asking because I also have another fully funded PhD offer from Singapore, so timelines are important for my decision.

Would really appreciate if you could share your recent experiences.

Thanks.
