I. Preparatory work
1. Ready
Magnetization must have a basis, specifically: how much you know about the field you are applying for, how much you have studied, what you have to say, or what kind of cognition and perception you have about the work you want to study and engage in in in the future. Of course, what problems did you find during your study? These are all prepared by myself.
You must have something before magnetization. Your resume and research plan, plus a carefully designed first letter.
It is particularly important to highlight your research ability in your resume. Of course, the award-winning experience and language achievements are also a side proof.
The research plan can make a prospect for future research. Students who have no research experience must take it seriously. Even if they don't have much research experience, a professional and profound research plan can impress professors.
2. Magnetic objects
After finding and selecting schools and professors, students should judge the relevance of the target professors. First of all, go to the home page of the professor and the home page of the research room, and you will have a general understanding of this professor. This information is very important for his research interests, research results and his own research field. You will know whether you can relate to him and whether you are interested in what he has learned.
3. The content of the magnetic cover
First of all, it must be clear why magnetism should be set. Very simple, in order to get the professor's approval, get the professor's Neno.
Then, at a deeper level, work hard on magnetic signals. We must express such a motive: to engage in magnetism is to improve our professional knowledge, or to tell the professor that you are a capable and potential person, otherwise why should he want you?
To write a magnetic letter, you need to show your strengths and desire to learn. Of course, what you want to write is your opinion. Introduce the research degree and position in the field you want to study, and explain your affirmation of the whole subject. For students who change majors, it is more necessary to combine their own experiences and apply for majors.
It is very important not only to let the professor see your potential, but also to let him see that you are working hard, you are making progress, and you are actively moving towards this major.
Second, matters needing attention
1. resume
First of all, the resume background should not be too fancy, giving people a clean and tidy feeling. Secondly, writing a resume should follow two principles, one is to highlight the key points, and the other is to introduce them in detail. Describe your experience in short words, and let the professor know what you mainly did, what role you played, what achievements you made, and so on.
As for language achievement, if you want to study in Japan, you need to have the ability of both Japanese and English. Generally speaking, Japanese is N2 or above in science, N 1 in liberal arts, and TOEFL 80 or above or TOEFL 750 in English. This is the most basic condition for application. You should write your language scores clearly. The expression of honor reward should also pay attention to description, with appropriate weight.
2. The first letter
The first letter highlights the university experience, past research experience, and views on the laboratory, showing its own advantages, making the professor feel enthusiastic and sincere about the application of the laboratory, which will increase the chances of reply.
3. Research plan
The research plan should express the key points in concise language, with clear thinking, and list a complete and feasible research plan, which can reflect whether the students' research ability and research vision are broad and whether they have their own unique opinions and opinions in this field. If the proposal is in line with the professor's research direction, reflects his own opinions and suggestions, and has a feasible plan, it will also be very popular with the professor and increase the chances of defense. Therefore, the usual academic accumulation and literature reading are particularly important.
Third, how to write the first letter.
1. Different
Distinctive includes but not limited to: excellent university background; Have the background of international exchange and study abroad; Excellent grade point; Excellent language skills (Japanese/English); Excellent research experience in related majors; Have relevant excellent internship experience.
Most of these differences are hardware conditions. If the above experience is not outstanding, don't be afraid, we can create more "differences" in the application reasons.
Then how do we write the reasons for the application? The method is actually very simple, and it is illustrated by a concrete example.
For example, medical students, on the basis of expounding the very developed medical specialty in Japan, write down why they applied for this major, whether they have been exposed to relevant cases and reshaped their outlook on life and values, or have a new understanding of related fields in the process of studying related majors, or have been influenced by their families since childhood, and so on. ......
In short, the application reason should not be big and empty, but specific and write down the uniqueness of your application reason.
Focus on key points
Highlighting the key points is mainly to say that it should not be too lengthy and try to control it within 1000 words.
Mainly highlight their own professional advantages, language ability advantages, institutional advantages, research background advantages, practical advantages and so on.
Any paragraph that highlights the advantages of your application can be highlighted in another line.
3. True feelings
Both the beginning and the end should express the strong desire to apply for the professor's research room. At the beginning, you were very interested in the professor's homepage, which was in line with the direction you wanted to study. If there are places for enrollment, please ask the professor to consider carefully.
Finally, I emphasize that I really want to study in the professor's research room. If I can join, I will definitely work harder and strive for learning opportunities.
