    Two paths:

    1. Applicants for doctoral studies abroad;

    The preparation of application materials is an important but easily overlooked part of the entire application process for graduate students in the United States (including doctoral students). If the application materials are not prepared sufficiently, it will directly affect the application result or even fail. Weijiu study abroad experts remind everyone to carefully check the prepared application materials and do the most important and basic step.

    Once you've prepared your application materials, you're ready to submit your application materials to the U.S. colleges and universities you are interested in.

    2. Through the project of the Study Abroad Committee of the Ministry of Education of China, the university will directly send them to foreign universities or research institutions to study for a doctorate. (i.e., public study abroad).

    Application conditions for public study abroad.

    Applicants should be regular staff and outstanding students of institutions of higher learning, enterprises and institutions, administrative agencies, scientific research institutions, and meet the following basic conditions:

    1. Love the motherland, love socialism, have good political and professional qualities, have no record of violations of laws and disciplines, have outstanding performance in work and study, and return to China to serve the construction of the motherland after completing their studies;

    2. Have a good professional foundation and development potential, and the foreign language proficiency meets the requirements stipulated in the "Foreign Language Conditions for Studying Abroad Funded by the National Study Abroad";

    3. Physical and mental health;

    4. Meet the specific requirements of the relevant scholarship program selection guidelines (see the "2010 National Study Abroad ** Funded Study Abroad Program List and Project Guide" for details);

    5. Those who have enjoyed the national study abroad subsidy can only apply again after returning to China after working for five years.

    Precautions. The application essay is the most flexible part of the application process for graduate students in the United States, and it may be that after the applicant passes the hard indicators, if the application essay is not favored by the American admissions officer, the application will also fail, or it can be said that the essay is a very dramatic part of the American graduate application process.

    If you want admissions officers to understand yourself through the essay, remember that the essay should not deliberately present yourself, and introduce your strengths at length. In the essay, you should describe yourself as the most suitable student to the admissions officer, rather than blindly exaggerating yourself, so that the admissions officer can see a real self through the essay.

    1. The first hurdle to go abroad is, of course, language. The schools you apply to will have a minimum language requirement on the admission brochure. Commonwealth countries generally require IELTS, while the United States requires GRE and TOEFL.

    The IELTS requirement for PhD is generally above, and the GRE is generally above 2400.

    2. Applicants are generally required to provide 3 letters of recommendation in English. Some schools only require 2 letters. Letters of recommendation are generally written by department chairs and professional supervisors, and it is best to be able to get the principal or a supervisor with a senior academic title or more influential in the academic world to write it, which will be more convincing.

    3. Personal statement and essay, personal statement is an important document that affects admission. A personal statement that reflects a student's qualities, is two pages long, and you can use words to reflect your abilities to your tutor.

    4. Resume. A CV is very important in both job search and study, and the admissions office can know all your practical information in the fastest time. A good resume is especially important for an application.

    Studying abroad for a PhD is an option for students who want to improve their academic qualifications. Frankly speaking, the advanced teaching and research level of foreign countries and the teaching quality of tutors can indeed help students avoid detours. PhD students in New Zealand have always been a coveted choice to study abroad, with low tuition fees, generous scholarships, and an enviable work-based immigration policy.

    Is it hard to get a PhD in New Zealand?

    Is it hard to get a PhD in New Zealand?

    There are two types of doctorates to study in New Zealand: one is named doctorate, which is mainly aimed at professionals who have already entered the workforce and need certain management experience to learn; The other is the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) that most international students will choose, which requires no work experience, no teaching time, and focuses on doing research and writing**. These two PhD programs usually require less than three years of full-time study and academic research.

    ** and defense are required, and the examiner will also require a written test under special circumstances.

    What are the advantages of studying for a PhD in New Zealand?

    Compared with other countries, New Zealand, which is also a big country for studying abroad, is almost preferential in terms of doctoral policy. At present, international students studying for a PhD in New Zealand enjoy the same tuition fees as locals, only about 6,000 New Zealand dollars (equivalent to about 30,000 yuan) per year, which is almost the cheapest in the world. And students are free to work during their studies with no time limit.

    In addition, as in Australia, the spouse of a student can obtain an unconditional work visa, and children under the age of 18 can attend public primary and secondary schools in New Zealand for free. Such preferential policies have led to a significant increase in the number of PhD students in China in recent years.

    PhDs in New Zealand cannot be applied across majors and must be aligned with undergraduate and postgraduate majors. Unlike many other countries, it is more difficult for international students to apply for a PhD in science and engineering in New Zealand, because New Zealand has high requirements for undergraduate science and engineering majors. Engineering majors cannot be certified as local engineers later without starting with an undergraduate degree, and some medical majors do not accept applications at all.

    Conversely, international students with liberal arts backgrounds are more likely to apply for a PhD in education or literature.

    However, no matter what the major, the key to doctoral admission lies in the intention of the supervisor, and the so-called application "hardware" also has room for flexibility. Although IELTS requires a score, some students can apply to the University of Auckland, a prestigious New Zealand university, with a score of 6 or an expired score. Whether you can be admitted or not, the leading power is in the hands of the tutor.

    As long as you have good contact and communication with the tutor, some hard conditions will generally be waived, and the tutor will not embarrass you too much.

    There are certain conditions for applying for a PhD in New Zealand, because New Zealand PhDs cannot be applied across majors, and the majors of PhDs need to be the same as our undergraduate and graduate majors. If we can't meet this condition, there is a high probability that there will be no way to apply for a PhD in New Zealand.

    1. Education: Bachelor's degree or master's degree: All students with a bachelor's degree or master's degree can apply for a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in the United States.

    If an undergraduate student applies directly to the PhD, the requirements for the applicant will be stricter. Of course, there are also individual majors in individual schools, and doctoral students are only admitted for master's degrees.

    2. Academic performance: especially professional GPA scores, general requirements: the GPA score of applying for a doctoral degree in the United States is above, but this is only the minimum admission score, it is difficult to succeed if you want to apply for a scholarship with such a GPA, if you want to apply for a scholarship, the GPA must be at least above, if the GPA of the students is not ideal, do not be discouraged, it is recommended that you prepare carefully for the GRE Sub exam, as long as you get excellent results to make up for the lack of GPA.

    3. Language scores: TOEFL100+, IELTS 7 or more than 3 years of academic study in an English language country can apply for language exemption.

    4. Background requirements: Applicants must have sufficient research experience and background, and have excellent performance in the professional field, and complete a number of courses at the master's level, which is what we usually call equivalent qualifications, the same master's requirements, which is a necessary condition for studying in the United States.

    5. Documents: personal resume, personal statement, set of magnetic letters, purpose statement, school proposition essay, etc. The importance of the essay is one of the important factors related to whether or not to be admitted to the examiner, and it is the stage for the student's academic background to be presented to the admissions examiner and tutor.
