Studying for a doctorate in Britain depends on the situation. If students finish their undergraduate studies in China, they will go abroad to study for a doctorate. It usually takes 3-5 years, whether it is a master's degree or a graduate student. It usually takes about 3 years for students to apply for a doctorate directly.
Second, the basic application conditions for doctoral study in the UK
1. Language performance requirements: IELTS 6.5-7.0, slightly different according to different majors.
2. Master: Many China students don't know much about this situation. Even after graduating from a master's degree, the other party attaches great importance to their undergraduate achievements. Individual majors, such as management, may require no master's degree, but they must have some work experience. Under normal circumstances, few undergraduate graduates directly apply for doctoral degrees.
3. Research plan: a research proposal, the number of words shall be determined by the school itself, and the maximum number shall not exceed 1000 words. The measure of successful proposal is to explain the research content, objectives, current situation, research methods and research value. The more detailed the research plan, the better the viewpoint, and the tutor will know it at a glance.
4. Theses or projects: Theses or projects play a vital role in the process of applying for doctoral degrees in British universities.
5. Personal statement: 2-3 letters of recommendation, which should include the introduction of your academic achievements, scientific research ability, cooperation spirit and academic achievements, and require seal and special letter signing paper.
6. Personal statement: be concise, your background, research direction, reasons for application, research plan, etc. You need to clearly state what you want to express in a limited space.
Finally, in choosing schools, students can usually choose five to ten schools. Bian Xiao suggested that when choosing a school, the score should be enlarged and the priorities should be distinguished. It can be divided into three categories: top universities, universities that can't meet the application conditions but can sprint, and universities that can guarantee admission.
The following is an introduction to the agency fee for studying in the UK:
1. Traditional institutions for studying abroad: The cost of studying in the UK basically ranges from 9,000-1.5 million, which generally includes a full set of application services for studying abroad.
2. Prices and expenses are different in different cities: as we all know, prices will be higher in places with high economic conditions, and the cost of studying abroad will be higher. Relatively speaking, these places in Beishangguang will be more expensive than some smaller cities.
In some third-tier or smaller cities, the preferential intensity will be relatively greater. For example, the general fee for superior education is about 6.5438+0.5 million (the fees in second-and third-tier cities will also be relatively reduced).
3. Different programs charge different fees: Generally speaking, each institution will launch its own study abroad program for students to choose from, and students can choose according to their actual situation.
