I have never met a Graduate Student who has ability in Python Programming for Data Analytics without a fully funded offer. Do you know why?

It is because, Python language and R is the future of STEM and STEAM. Python is the most suitable language for machine learning and big data analytics.

Every sub-discipline in STEM and even non-STEMS are finding a route to appreciate the the ease with which Python libraries like sk- learn, tensor, numpy make the learning of predictive science possible.

My dear friend, if you want to get to the US, UK or Canada via a fully funded PhD with an almost 70% surety, get to learn python for Data Analytics. Build data models, engage in machine learning projects and get a GitHub repository account.

This advice is worth a million in Gold.

HOW TO USE COLD MAILING TO FIND A FULLY FUNDED POSITION

Cold mailing, also known as cold emailing, involves reaching out to potential supervisors or researchers via email without any prior connection or introduction. This method is often used by students looking for fully funded MS and PhD studentship positions, as it allows them to directly contact potential supervisors and express their interest in their research.

When using cold mailing as a medium of finding a fully funded position, it is important to research the potential supervisors and their research interests beforehand. This helps you to tailor your email and demonstrate your knowledge and interest in their work. It is also important to introduce yourself and provide a brief overview of your academic background, skills and achievements.

In the email, it is essential to express your interest in a fully funded MS or PhD studentship position and inquire about any opportunities that may be available. You can also ask for guidance on how to apply for any available positions, and whether there are any specific requirements or qualifications that you need to meet.

It's important to keep in mind that not all cold emails will receive a positive response, and it's important to remain professional and respectful throughout the process. Persistence and following up with the potential supervisor after a period of time can also be helpful.
