Advantages of studying abroad
First, high academic recognition, world-renowned high-quality education standards.
As we all know, the proportion of famous schools in Britain is very high. Basically, everyone can name several famous schools. After more than 800 years of development, the Commonwealth education system has been continuously improved and developed, and has been imitated by many countries in the world. British graduates, whether continuing their studies or joining the job market, have great advantages.
Second, internship, spouses can also work freely.
While studying for a Ph.D. in the UK, you can work and practice freely in the UK, and your spouse can also apply for a Tier 4 dependent visa.
Third, the academic system is short.
Generally speaking, the study period of British doctors is 3-4 years. Usually, they do research in the first three years and prepare papers in the last year. Compared with the United States and other countries, the doctoral system in Britain is shorter.
The academic titles involved in the British Doctor are as follows:
Master of Philosophy: Master of Philosophy
Full-time two-year research-oriented postgraduate courses or four-year part-time work-study research-oriented postgraduate courses are part of the doctoral program (some people become doctoral preparatory courses, and some schools can only transfer to doctoral programs after 65,438+0 years of MPhil). The teaching mode is similar to that of research-oriented graduate students, who eventually need to complete a paper of 50,000 to 75,000 words.
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
A 3-year or 6-year doctoral program aims at in-depth research in the selected field, and works with the tutor to study the topic, and finally needs to complete a paper of 50 thousand to 75 thousand words. Doctor, doctor of philosophy, philosophy here does not mean philosophy. Philosophy is the mother of all sciences, so doctors are called PHD, but some doctoral students usually have a special academic title: PhD graduates of ed. Education.
Tell the students about the application process of doctor:
1. First, you need to choose the direction you want to study and your tutor.
2. Prepare research proposals and research plans.
3. Magnetization (uninterrupted from beginning to end, until I finally met my tutor at school)
4. Start a formal online application.
5. Interview (usually Skype interview or telephone interview)
Step 6 accept admission
In the whole doctoral application, research proposal and magnetism are two very important links, which are directly related to whether you can be admitted to the school and whether you can get the favor of your tutor. When writing a research plan, you should be careful not to write academic papers like experts, but to show your advantages as clearly as applying for a job invitation.
Basic situation
When it comes to studying for a doctorate in Britain, the first impression is that the time is short. The newspaper summary reported that it only takes three years to study for a doctorate in Britain, which is quite a temptation compared with four to five years or even longer in other countries.
Many British schools stipulate that after nine semesters of school registration and study, you can apply for doctoral defense. Nine semesters is exactly three years. In fact, quite a few people did get their doctorates within three years. But "three-year doctor" is not an absolute concept. It is understood that it takes at least two years and at most seven years to obtain a British doctorate, but most people complete it within three or four years.
Generally speaking, science students may spend two and a half to three years doing experiments and then writing papers. The length of time varies from person to person. Engineering students' internship will play a very important role in graduation thesis. If the internship is done well, I have heard of the example of graduating early. For liberal arts students, the time is generally longer than that of science and engineering students.
Whether you can get a doctorate smoothly is a key to the progress of your project. Although there is no clear requirement for publishing papers in Britain, the expectations of tutors for students may be different.
Application requirements
1 .IELTS 7.0, with a single subject of not less than 6.5;
2. Have a formal master's degree (transcripts and degree certificates are required);
3. those who have obtained a bachelor's degree can also apply, but they must have excellent grades. (For China students, the top 80 universities in the country are required, and the top 3 in the whole year are about 90 points);
Many students in China don't know much about this situation. Even if you graduate with a master's degree, the other party attaches great importance to the undergraduate course. Individual majors, such as management, may not require a master's degree, but they must have some work experience. Under normal circumstances, it is rare for undergraduate graduates to directly apply for doctoral degrees.
4. Personal statement: concise, let people know who you are, where you come from, what you want to do, your background, your motivation, your reasons and your plan;
5.2-3 letters of recommendation;
6. A research proposal, the number of words is determined by the school itself, with a maximum of 1000 words;
The measure of the success of the proposal
1. Be able to define the content and objectives to be studied;
2. Be able to make it clear in a limited space;
3. Be able to clearly explain the current situation of the research, indicating that no one has been doing this work before and now;
4. Be able to clearly explain the research methods;
5. Be able to clearly explain the value of research.
