I have just completed my M.Sc. in IT and Management at Keele University, UK. I did a research project in Green IT. I want to continue it for a Ph.D. I can find a supervisor who is willing to supervise me, but i don’t have funds to continue my studies. Is there any possibility of finding a company which can sponsor my studies.
