A fresh PhD in Public Policy in Singapore can explore various career paths, including roles in academia, government agencies, research institutions, or policy think tanks. They might work as a policy analyst, consultant, or as a researcher focusing on public policy issues. As for becoming a research fellow, it's not typically considered easy. It's a competitive position that usually requires proven research skills and a strong publication record. However, the specific requirements can vary by institution, and a fresh PhD graduate with a strong research background and relevant expertise may certainly be considered for such positions. |

| Roberterop | It can do tons of things. Singapore will always be in need of great people to reform its regulations and find new ideas that will make it an even greater place to be at. I am also doing a similar thesis on such matters and in order to get my PhD I am relying a lot on external sources. I have found lots of great content on studybank and I use it mostly to compare the data I already have with what I am missing. I used to get projects done a well in the past with them in college, but for a PhD there are no go-arounds. | |

Hi jjason, You quoted and reply to my post, however I am unable to see it now. Since you are confident that you are able to achieve a Phd in PP among the small pool, then by all mean, I recommend you and support you. If you think that top positions in civil sector are not reserved for scholars, by all means, be the one to break the duck!  Lastly, you also mentioned you can go into consulting and have been approached to do consulting. In this case, you do not really need a PhD in PP to do it, isn't it? Good luck to your endeavour. |

I think like you mentioned, it is all based on your network. And you amass it it from your undergraduate to postgraduate levels by networking with our Professors, and also colleagues and hopefully someone can intro you a good job. TBH, there are plenty of PHDs in PP out there, it is not as if that just because it is your interest - it means you can get it. Let's narro the focus back to landing a job in SG with your major in PP. Will local g hire you? The answer is likely a no since you are not a scholar. Then will private consulting sector hire you? Maybe, but why don't they hire a ex-scholar who had plenty of experience in civil service? So no matter what, you are a bit too late for this. But that, it is hard to say for overseas though. |

ur definition of 'scholar' is based on ur flawed understanding of it as a bachelors holder or diploma holder. at the phd level, most ppl dont care about ur grades, we dont care if u can memorise formulas (which we can google in 5 mins), we are interested in creativity, original content, furthering human knowledge. actually i realised post docs already make 5k+ not 4.5. a phd in public policy open doors to research, teaching, consulting, and to some extent senior positions in policy agencies worldwide which to me is what i wanna do with my life. its not for everyone, going into the cubicle daily and maxing out at 7-8k and retiring at 60+ is the default route which u are taking. i made a choice not to take that path 3-4 years ago. |

| Unregistered | If you're not a scholar, pls don't waste your time getting a PhD. I have seen many forner colleages in the public sector who have a PhD but are not scholars becoming disillusioned with how low they're being paid even with the years of study exp. There is practically no difference between that and just getting a Bachelor's and using those years to build up relevant working experience instead. Unless you get having a kick out of having a Dr in front of your name or if you're really passionate about public service and policy, I would urge you to reconsider. | |

just wondering if i go for govt/semi govt jobs will i get paid 4-5k as well (one grade above fresh grads)? u guys have more industry experience than me. i beg to differ its not just a peice of paper its knowledge. some bachelors can unlock fulfilling decent careers which is what i am trying to do here. a friend who graduate from hk last year joined a consulting firm doing public policy consulting and started at 8-10k, i lack her network though. |

Post doc all 4-5k.. public policy think tanks also. Essentially PhD or bachelor is just a piece of paper, don't hold your hopes too high. |
