<p>My name is Jia Jacob and I have completed my Masters in Medical Biotechnology in Dubai.I want to continue my higher studies by doing research in genetic engineering and I would love to know what are the requirements for this.</p>
<p>The thing I am confused about is that I know that I will have to gain extra credits before I do my Phd.My question is that should i do my masters again in U.S and then research or directly research.My other question is there Masters course for one year.</p>
<p>Hope anyone could give me a detailed answer please…</p>
<p>It really depends on the school. Most PhD work is research based so you won’t have <em>too</em> many classes to take as long as your Masters in Med Biotech covers the prerequisites. You’d have to check the prerequisites with the school first. Also look to see what schools even offer the PhD in Genetic Engineering and then get in contact with some of the faculty members whose research labs accept those students. You should be able to find all this on the particular school’s website. The faculty members will let you know what kind of work they do in their lab and give you a better idea of how qualified you are to jump straight into a PhD program or to go back and get another Masters.</p>
