2. The consent and support of the tutor, and obtaining the consent of the tutor is the most basic requirement. Especially as a doctoral student, his tasks and responsibilities in China may have been very heavy. If the tutor does not support going abroad, it is difficult to make a trip. All the examples around him got the offer, and it was very late. Because of the disagreement of the tutor, I finally had to give up my previous efforts. Of course, it is not very important whether the tutor has contact and cooperation with foreign laboratories. If there is, of course, it is better and more convenient to get the offer foreign tutor (foreign tutor); If not, it doesn't matter. The contact between you and foreign tour guides is equally effective.
3. Get the offer, which is the first step of the whole application. The sooner the better, the more the better, not necessarily, because there are more offers, the later choice will hesitate. The landlord got five offers, including Harvard and Stanford, and finally wasted his brain on the choice. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate and appropriate to start this step on June 5438+ 10, because it is not too early to let the foreign guide forget you and it is not too late to urge the foreign guide to catch up with the progress. As for the way to get the offer, the usual way is magnetic field coverage. After studying in master's degree and part of doctoral degree, I generally have a certain understanding of my research fields and interests, and I also have a certain understanding of Daniel and Mavericks laboratories in the industry. As the name implies, covering the magnetic field is to introduce yourself and make the guide interested in you. Generally speaking, it is reasonable to send 20-30 magnetic letters, and each magnetic letter should be customized according to different tutors. After all, each tutor's research direction and interest are different. If there is no targeted template, foreign tour guides can see at a glance that there is generally no shortage of people in the Niuren laboratory. Choose a good school and tutor (tutor title, etc.). ) is of great benefit to the success of the application. Similarly, in the first magnetic letter, I also need to emphasize that I am a CSC project (I paid for it myself, and the living expenses and transportation expenses were not provided by an external tour guide). The official PDF introduction of CSC joint training doctor is attached to the email. This is not available. I made it myself. It looks very similar. At the same time, attach a resume: basic information, education, research background, published papers, etc. Then we can wait for the answer. Ps: offer needs to indicate the status of studying abroad, recommended: joint doctoral students, easy to understand and accept.
3. 1 Getting the offer is not only the first step, but also the most important step. First of all, the wording of the letter needs to be appropriate, not too cumbersome and focused. The landlord's English is better, which saves a lot of effort. At the same time, there is no domestic tutor to help contact: there are two reasons for how to gain the trust of foreign tour guides. One is to let him know about this government-funded project, and the other is to let him know that you are a studious student. Generally, the reply rate of magnetic letters is 30%+, and most foreign tutors will ask for an interview, usually through skype, an international video software, and sometimes the same tutor will interview more than once. When the foreign guide thinks it is ok, let them make an offer, which needs to include: the manuscript paper of the unit, the name, organization, address and contact information of the inviter, the name, birthday and identity of the invitee, the detailed training period, and the statement of no tuition fee. See csc official requirements for details. There are usually templates. You can ask the brothers and sisters who have successfully applied, then let the foreign guide review it himself, and finally attach the foreign guide's handwriting.
At this point, the most important step is over. The second step is to acquire language qualification. There are several language requirements for CSC Lianbo: TOEFL 95, IELTS 6.5, wsk test, training department test, and language certificate, among which the language certificate is directly issued by the foreign guide: it shows that your language meets the requirements, but the landlord does not recommend this, because the language certificate affects the competitiveness of the application, and it is inconvenient for the foreign guide to have a language certificate with specified information (many foreign guides don't know what this is, and sometimes they have to communicate repeatedly. If there is no TOEFL IELTS score, the easiest one should be wsk exam, 200+ registration fee, twice a year. Followed by the training department exam, the registration fee is about 4000, and it is said that the pass rate is 50%.
5. During the period, you need to keep in touch with the foreign guide, because at this time, you need the help of the foreign guide to do two things: 1 provide a resume (1-2 pages), and the resume of cattle is generally more than ten pages, which is not acceptable. The version uploaded by csc is at most two pages, preferably one page, otherwise it will affect the viewing, which is generally the most brilliant achievement of foreign guide magazines. 2 Learning proposal, uploaded by CSC, ensures that each grantee has a feasible work plan abroad and can submit the work progress on time. The formulation of study plan is not as complicated as expected, but it also needs to communicate with foreign guidance and establish the general direction. It is best to fill in the guide according to the template provided by csc, but generally, the guide will not give questions at this time, so there are some tips. It is more convenient to ponder a roughly "rough" topic according to the direction of the foreign guide, fill in the form by yourself, explain the situation and then ask the foreign guide for permission, because what topic to do abroad. Including some other convenient but risky ways to write a study plan, I won't go into details.
6. Get the offer, get the resume and study plan of the foreign guide, and basically break through the language requirements. The materials needed for the follow-up are easy to obtain. Some schools may need PK in campus or hospital before applying, which is easy. At the same time, you can start all kinds of procedures in the school, whether to postpone, submit the extension certificate in advance, and the foreign affairs office will give all kinds of approvals. And at this time, students without passports can go to the local area to apply for passports. After passing the on-campus evaluation, it is necessary to upload the relevant materials that meet the requirements to the national study abroad information network, register an account, and upload materials. The opening time is usually in March, and the website may get stuck at first, but it doesn't matter because there is enough time. After that, there is a waiting time, waiting for the evaluation result of CSC. I don't remember the exact time, and I was very impressed. The final result should be announced in late June and early July.
7. After successfully passing the CSC national examination, it will take some time to receive CSC paper documents, which contain many materials, including Chinese and English qualification certificates. At this later stage, it is necessary to send scanned copies to foreign tour guides, and the Chinese version needs to be sent to embassies and consulates after arriving abroad. There are many other things to do. First of all, you should determine the time when you will go abroad and arrange your schedule according to this time. However, it is suggested that after the approval, contact the unit where the foreign guide works as soon as possible to issue the DS20 19 form. In this process, the HR department of the Human Resources Department or the Ministry of Education will ask for a series of materials, including transcripts, undergraduate certificates, degree certificates, and proof of studying. It's easy to handle. At the same time, some institutions will require medical certificates and vaccination certificates. This kind of dispatch usually lasts for more than 6 months, and it takes half a day to go to China Customs for physical examination, and it is free. Some schools or institutions will require foreign scholars to provide financial aid or proof of their own expenses to meet their minimum requirements, and they can use certificates of deposit. These are very simple.
