academic resume

Pay attention to the difference between work resume and technical resume.

PersonalStatement

what are your areas of interest? Why do you want to apply for this school? How are you going to study for a doctorate? What is your future career plan? Your personal statement should answer these questions. Some projects will require applicants to submit SoP(StatementofPurpose), which is similar to PS in general content structure, but it is necessary for applicants to pay special attention to that SoP students need to express their academic interests from a professional perspective, while students need to express their academic interests from a professional perspective. PS will have more free space at the personal level. But there is not much difference between the two before.

ResearchProposal

the research plan is the top priority of the post doctoral program application in Europe!

Research plan RP is usually the necessary material for applying for science and engineering projects, and it is also an important written material that clearly defines your research problems, methods and research objectives. By putting forward your original ideas about the project in the plan and objectively describing how you will contribute to this field, you can prove that you really understand the project you are applying for.

p.s. In fact, originality is not important in RP, which is overlooked by many students. In many failed applications, it is precisely because the applicant overemphasizes the innovation in the target field and ignores the description of operability. Please note that RP should not prove your innovation ability, RP proves that you have enough knowledge of the target field!

References

most universities require applicants to have 2-3 references. Choose professors who know you and are familiar with your work, preferably those who have participated in small seminar courses with you.

WritingSample

Some doctor of humanities programs require applicants to provide writing samples, and applicants need to write short academic papers in the target field to prove their academic ability and expressive ability.

other materials

a. Transcripts

some projects require students to provide proof of grades.

B. Standardized test scores

Most doctoral programs in the United States and Canada require applicants to provide G test scores (GRE\GMAT).

C. Language scores

IELTS TOEFL, some items can be exempted from language scores.

p.s. Many projects can't provide language scores at the application stage, so applicants can start delivering projects without language scores. Through the preliminary test and interview of the project, students can submit relevant language materials after entering the follow-up evaluation stage. In a few cases, the interview cannot submit language results. Iii. Instructions for doctoral application

1. It is necessary to know the application conditions

The application conditions mainly include whether the doctoral program meets the applicant's professional requirements, whether the language meets the requirements, whether to accept non-language applications, and then enter the language course, whether the pre-degree and GPA meet the requirements, whether to publish relevant journal papers and other related application conditions. If the majors don't match or the average credits don't meet the requirements, it can't be solved by background improvement. If the language achievement does not meet the standard, it is necessary to strengthen the corresponding language learning and preparation and strive for the corresponding target score; If the degree does not meet the requirements, such as a master's degree, and the applicant does not have it, he can apply for a postgraduate degree in the corresponding major and then apply. In addition, it should be noted that doctors in some countries can also apply for undergraduate degrees (undergraduate honorary degrees).

2. You need to know the application materials

Besides judging whether you meet the corresponding application conditions, you also need to prepare the corresponding application materials. Such as passport, health certificate, deposit certificate, resume and other materials; Applicants also need to pay attention to the ResearchProposal that the professors of the corresponding majors pay more attention to, which is an important way for the professors of the corresponding majors to judge whether the applicants are related to their majors or scientific research projects.

3. It is the competition between schools and majors

To understand the competition between applying schools and majors, what we need to do is to collect the admission conditions of applicants in the past target schools as a reference. Once the gap is found, corresponding alternatives need to be formulated. When it is confirmed that students can basically participate in the competition of the corresponding schools, they can also conduct ceramics with the corresponding target tutors to understand the current competition of the tutors. For example, when the tutor determines a more satisfactory applicant on a first-come-first-served basis, he will directly and clearly inform the relevant information such as no more recruitment.

4. It is necessary to know the graduation conditions of the school you are applying for

Many applicants are usually more concerned about how to apply for admission, but ignore the understanding of the graduation conditions of the school you are applying for. Because foreign universities, including doctors, meet the basic conditions and have certain admission opportunities; However, some schools may need to publish high-level journal papers, and doctoral dissertations also need to complete corresponding courses and obtain credits or doctoral candidate qualifications; In addition, it is necessary to understand the institutional arrangements and class hours requirements for doctoral degrees. For example, some countries allow graduation in two years at the earliest, while others require graduation in at least three to four years; Of course, some countries don't need to publish it.

5. It is necessary to know the situation of applying for a degree

It is necessary to know whether the applied doctoral degree is a doctor of philosophy (Phd) or a professional doctor, such as a doctor of business administration (DBA) and a doctor of education (Ed.D); Because these conditions have a certain relationship with whether applying for a degree can obtain China service certification, that is, whether it is equivalent to a full-time doctoral degree in China, whether the degree awarded by the school is different from that awarded by the Ministry of Education, whether the diploma awarded by the school is a training course that is not recognized in China, and whether it is a teaching form such as distance education, because distance education cannot obtain China service certification.

6. It is necessary to know the situation of the applicant country

It is necessary to know the study abroad policy, social, economic and cultural conditions of the applicant country. For example, whether the applicant country actively issues student visas, how about social security, whether there is a serious epidemic at present, and whether there is any relevant early warning; Understanding the economic situation is to evaluate the corresponding expenses and whether to allow international students to work to earn part of their income. After all, living expenses such as housing and catering are long-term cost burdens, so it is more important to judge whether you can successfully complete your studies. The cultural situation reflects the language, local customs and eating habits of the countries studying abroad.
