Late 2019 I heard about a new modality for this phd, this one with classes just on Friday.
I started the process, I present my protocol for my thesis (finance + IT) but for the feedback I received I decided that this phd wouldn’t be the best choice for me
In 2017 my then girlfriend(now wife) and I got the idea of starting a phd together, we had two options IT or administration…or one for each sharing the same project but from different angles.
So We went to a talk about the phd in administration, it was just the 2 of us, the coordinator and his assistant( alumni of my wife and 2 years later student of mine).
The coordinador asked us about our thesis proposal, I give about regarding criptocurrencies and my wife said she didn’t have anything on her mind, but he seemed OK with that.
At the end, We didn’t applied because of the schedule, the PhD had a scholarship and the professors could decide to teach the entire class in a week, so it wasn’t possible for me to work at the same time, and my wife’s classes will be disrupted too much…even if we declined the scholarship the classes will be the same
When I finished my master on 2k14, I thought that I will never continue my studies, I was so tired( 2 jobs, studying and 2 girlfriends-at different times of course), that I didn’t want to do it again.
Late 2017 I decided I could continue my studies with a phd on ITESO, because of the discount and scholarship offered by Oracle. I started all the protocolos but I faced the problem of a lack of phd in it or cs.
I tried that LACS become my thesis’ director but at the end it didn’t worked, I thought I will continue with JFHA as director but at the end, the object of study of my phd was removed from my grasp when I was moved to another team on Oracle, that was the moment when I decided to take a raincheck on my phd.
When I decided to decline on the DCA, I talked about that after a master thesis presentation with some of my professors, they convinced that giving my background on CS, DS and IT, I should just redirect my work to the DTI; at that moment I was introduced to the coordinator of that academic program and my application started.
I’m waiting to see if I got in or not.
