Subject: Ph. D. studies as work experience
Hi Group,
Does anybody knows whether the research towards the Ph. D. degree (in Life Sciences) may be qualified as a work experience?
Thank you very much.

Work Experience - NO (in reply to: Ph. D. studies as work experience)
I don´t think so, because I was in the same situation and that was not approved. Sorry.
However, your PH. D. may be different and therefore might be considered.

Thank you for the answers.
Since the Ph. D. studies will not meet the requirements for the work experience, I have to present an evidence of another work. In addition to my studies, I have been working in the university for about 4 years (continuously) as a laboratory instructor. It is not calculated according to the working hours and is ~25-30% of the full time job. Will this work experience qualify?

Yes (in reply to: Ph. D. studies as work experience)
If you WORKED at the university that may count as work experience.

Hi Tony.

The magic number here is 37.5

Specifically, to determine the number of full-time weeks your experience equates to, simply divide your total hours worked by 37.5 (CIC defines "full-time" as 37.5 hours per week).

For example if you were paid for 3750 hours, that time would be equated to 100 weeks of full-time experience.

Please consider checking out my web site, as I can offer a lot of proactive assistance to you in this application.

Sincerely,
