In todays world, almost every university uses internet to publish their High Education programs that is offered. There are many internet sited that can be used to search for a suitable higher education program either a phd or a master. Personally I recomend students to sign up for related mailings groups.
Its really important to decide what kind of programm you need to apply. Without clearly making your mind and applying to a program might bring failior and financial problems. Also a good jungement between the time that will be invested in the higher education and job experiance should be made. In some cases work experiance rather than a educational might be more beneficial for the student.
If you made your mind to write a Phd, first of all take a look at the related that subjects that you will be researching. If the subject is allready researched there is not point repeating the subject unless you can bring a diffrent approach.
Make sure gather knowledge about advenced researching techniques (quantitative, qualitative). Reading abook about the research methots will help you create a proper research proposal. Without a proper research proposal (Expose) it is most likely that you will recieve a denial of application.
When it comes to find the instution and a supervisor, it will be best to use funded programs wich is allready running. Best source for this kind of PHD will be internet mailing lists. Incase you will want to write on a subject you want to decide, try looking for the most suitable Prof. in the university that you want to apply. Make sure to read couple of articles from the professor who will be your supervisor.
For the master programs it will be best to apply thrue a foundation that finds a suitable program for your needs. for germany DAAD is financially supporting many international students from all over the world.
Besides these programs there are political institutions that can be apllied for financial support to enable you to compelete your education.

Its always importent to plan a step ahaid and start afterward when you are 0 percent sure to invenst in such higher education.
