It is well known that British PHDS attract many international students because of their relatively short duration (typically three years)。However, due to the high degree of education industrialization, doctoral programs in the UK rarely provide full scholarships, especially for social science majors, and few students can apply for full scholarships。
What should you pay attention to when applying for a PhD?Unlike applying for a taught master's degree in the UK, applying for a PhD in the UK needs to match the research direction of the supervisor。So, the first step should be to go to the official website to find the doctoral program you are interested in and see who the program's supervisor is。Some tutors will put detailed information about their research projects and topics online for applicants to learn about。Some require the applicant to contact the tutor himself, that is, the so-called ceramic。Applicants can ask the teacher for information about the project through email, and roughly introduce their educational background, professional background, research plan, etc., to see if the two match。
Of course, the application for doctoral degree also needs documents. Compared with master degree, doctoral degree application also needs personal statement, recommendation letter, resume and so on。However, the doctoral application also requires a research plan, that is, a Proposal, which is generally about 1000 words in length, and different schools will have different requirements。
PhD applicants also need to fill in the application form, which can be downloaded from the university's website, that is, fill in some personal information, project selection, and so on。Generally, applicants can fill in and submit on the Online system。Some schools require applicants to download it, fill it out and then email it to a tutor。
Most doctoral programs will have an interview session, and the supervisor will invite the applicant whose research plan is in line with his face to face communication, so as to better evaluate the student's research ability and academic level。
Many students will ask, how do I know if there is a scholarship?In fact, the project information on the website generally includes the introduction of whether the project offers scholarships, and students can also send an email to the tutor directly。Some programs may not provide a one-time full scholarship, but the instructor will tell you that there will be some scientific research funds or grants in the future projects, and it may also cover most of the doctoral fees, which the applicant should confirm with the instructor。
