Hi,

I have prepared all the documents by myself.
I think that guidleness are written very clear and if you read carefully you would be able to prepare all the documets by youself.
And if you will have questions you always could ask on this board. You will save your money and time.

With a pleasure.

My main research area is chemistry and ecology.
I have got a PhD in this subject and is co-author of a couple of articles printed in international journals. I have been working as a Scientific researcher for two of years after.
A cou[ple of years ago i have also got a british Council Scholarship and entered UK to study ecology.
After compleation my course i went back to my country and applied for the HMSP.

I have had 3 years of the PhD course and was not sure whether it could be included into my work experience. I have written a letter to HO and was told that PhD course could be concidered as a work experience, especially if i has been paid for it. In total i had 3,5 years of PhD course and 2 years of working as a Researcher.


I was warried for the reference letter from my employer. I did not state in it that my position required a graduate level , but mentioned my supervising undergraduates. As soon as have got my reference number i have sent an additional Letter stating graduate level of my work. But all this was in vaine. my application had been approved even before i have got my reference number (they post it to me).

So as far as i have understood now they consider documents just in a couple of days and you do not have a time to send something additional. So it is extremely important to be sure that you are sending the whole pack without any mistake.
