Why To Get a Graduate Degree in China
type: Article
title: Why To Get a Graduate Degree in China
description: Range of courses China has a strong history of teaching in science, engineering and medicine especially. There are over 3000 universities across the country, offering courses which are well-respected and up-to-date with the latest research findings. There are also many universities which specialize in economics, business and marketing; making it a good choice for those who want practical skills from their graduate degree which can help them secure a role in the business world. The division of universities into general, technical and specialist programs ensures that you can find an institution which is a good fit for your skills and interests. Affordable tuition fees With university fees on the rise in Britain and the United States, graduate study can be extremely costly in some places. In China, however, tuition fees are reasonably priced and are kept in check by large governmental investment in higher education. Universities are typically public and are managed by the Ministry of Education, and so are focused on teaching and preparing their students for the working world affordably. Costs of living vary widely by area within China, but remain cheaper than much of Europe. Do, however, consider other costs when working out the economics of your graduate study – remember that relocation and settling in a new country can be an expensive process, and don't forget the costs of application fees, visa fees, and travel expenses. Cultural experiences China is a hugely diverse country, with a rich history and culture and covering a very large geographical area. There are opportunities for students to travel to surrounding areas nearby their place of residence, and to explore further afield in the countryside as well as in the cities. With world-famously beautiful artwork, opera, pottery and calligraphy, art fans will love exploring Chinese culture. For history buffs, China also offers unique opportunities for learning about and engaging with a cultural history of thousands of…
disambiguating description: With rapid globalisation making relocation to a new country easier, more and more students are choosing to travel abroad to study. If you have already completed an undergraduate degree and feel confident in your knowledge and skills, then a postgraduate course in a foreign country can be a wonderful learning experience. While it's common to move across Europe or to the United States for graduate study, there are also great opportunities for studying further afield in Asia. China is a strong contender in the education sector – with thousands of universities in a booming higher education system – and the government is investing more money into higher education for the future. But why should you consider graduate study in China? Read on to find out.

Visa Requirements for Master's Programs in Spain
type: Article
title: Visa Requirements for Master's Programs in Spain
description: Moreover, if you know that your studies will last longer than six months, you will need a residence permit along with a student visa. You can apply for both of these permits together, as they are issued via the same channels. If you will only be in Spain for a shorter study program then you can apply for a special student visa with the stipulation that you will only be in Spain for up to 180 days. Once you have received this visa you cannot obtain a regular student card in Spain. If you have been accepted to a Master’s program in Spain, the easiest and most secure option is to apply for your student visa and residence permit prior to leaving your home country or country of residence. You can make an appointment at the Spanish consulate or embassy closest to you and receive your visa before entering Spain, meaning that you will not have to worry about obtaining a new visa once you have arrived. If you choose this option, be sure to leave yourself ample time for processing, which can take up to two to three months in certain cases, and at least three weeks no matter where you are. If you are unable to obtain a student visa prior to leaving your country of residence, you legally have 30 days after your initial entry into Spain to begin the process of applying for a student visa and residence permit. Once in Spain, you must initiate this procedure through the foreign nationals office of the National Police. For further information about the details of this process, please visit the National Police website. Regardless of whether you are applying for a student visa and residence permit in your home country at a Spanish embassy or consulate or if you are applying via the foreign nationals office in Spain, there are certain documents and items you will need to have with you in order to make sure your application is a success.

AEA Annual Meeting 2015: January 3-5, Boston, MA
type: Article
title: AEA Annual Meeting 2015: January 3-5, Boston, MA
description: Last year and the year before, INOMICS participated in the event, and it was a wonderful chance to meet some of our readers and get in touch with academics from around the world! This year the meeting is taking place from January 3-5 in Boston, MA. The daily program of events is available on the AEA website. For PhD students in the field of economics, the AEA Meeting can often be a useful way to meet potential employers. It can therefore be a great tool for finding a job, and it’s always a good idea to dress to impress! For a useful guide to the dress code for academic conferences, have a look at this blog post on the INOMICS blog detailing what to wear and what to avoid when you’re frantically rummaging through your wardrobe. This year, there are a wide range of events to take part in, addressing a diverse variety of highly topical subjects. Some of these interesting topics include ‘Analyzing the Dynamics of Social Networks in Developing Economies’ and ‘Experimental Finance and Neuroeconomics’, or even ‘Ethical Challenges Facing the Academic Economist’ , and those are just taken from the preliminary schedule on January 3! There are also a number of committees focussing on issues such as the status of women in the economics profession, all of which should prove to be very informative. After the 2014 AEA Meeting, we wrote a blog post detailing a number of relevant blogs, papers and videos to check out afterwards. Similarly, after 2013’s Annual Meeting we put together this useful list of links and resources from interesting economics blogs. If you’re looking to attend in order to find a job, another way to find great academic job openings in the field of economics is to have a look at the job listings on the INOMICS website! It would also be a good idea to have a look at the 2014 Job Market Report to see where you fit in in the global market!
disambiguating description: Today marked the first day of this year’s American Economic Association (AEA) Annual Meeting. The AEA Meeting is an annual event that brings together some of the superstars of economics in one of the largest economics-focused gatherings in the world. Every year, upwards of 10,000 academics come together for discussions, presentations, and – equally important! - socialising, over a long weekend.

Why Attend a University Fair?
type: Article
title: Why Attend a University Fair?
description: However university fairs are well worth attending! A visit to a university fair is an opportunity to: Meet representatives A university fair is a chance to meet representatives from universities, student financing bodies, and gap-year organisations, and to discuss face to face the programs, funding opportunities and application processes involved for that specific institution or program. This can help to detangle the application process through personalized responses that help you to understand the entry requirements and details. Grab some printed material to read at home At a university fair there is a wide range of literature available for you to pick up and peruse at your leisure once you get home. While the temptation to grab the brochures and run is high, it can be best in combination with actually meeting and talking with representatives from the universities, so that you can go home and read the flyer with a better overall idea of what you’re looking at. Get a better picture of the programs and universities that interest you, including overseas study opportunities Even if you already have an idea of where you’d like to go, a university fair can be helpful, particularly if you want to study overseas and can’t simply visit the open day of the university you’re interested in. For example, if you’re looking to study in the United States, the US Journal has a useful list of worldwide fairs promoting study in the USA. A university fair may also help you to decide which specific university open days to attend. Attend presentations and seminars University fairs often invite speakers and presenters to talk about more general topics such as the PhD application process, and allow exposure to speakers from a mix of universities. Through attending such seminars or panel discussions, you can get a more general overview of what’s on offer, and possibly discover a new institution or program that you had not previously considered. Of course, simply attending a university fair…
disambiguating description: For a student faced with the daunting decision of which university to attend, paying a visit to a university fair can be a great way to get your thoughts in order and discover some of the programs and institutions on offer. These fairs can vary in size from the small to large-scale (such as UniFair in the UK), and can be quite confusing.

10 Ways to Use a Selfie Stick in Academia
type: Article
title: 10 Ways to Use a Selfie Stick in Academia
description: Although some more cynical commentators might assign the act of taking selfies to some form of disorder (obsessive selfie-taking was even on the verge of receiving an official name in psychiatry – the hoax is only part of the story), we tend to forget that selfies have always been there. For a historical selfie, check out this self-portrait taken by a Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia in 1913, for example. As a tribute to our selfie stick and iPad competition we have put together a list of ways you could use a selfie in academia, regardless of whether you are a student or a professor. If you have more ideas, please share them with us in the comments! At a conference – great conferences are a source of great memories and taking a selfie with the other delegates or a prominent speaker can help you keep these memories safe for the future! A selfie can also serve as a pictorial announcement about the kinds of events you go to and contribute to your professional image online. In a lecture hall – if you are a professor there is no better way to connect with an audience of Y-generation students than taking a selfie with your class and sharing it on your own twitter account. If you are a student, use it as evidence for your parents that you really do get out of bed for your morning lectures! Night before an exam – what can demonstrate your hard work better than posting a selfie in late-night study mode, surrounded by books and piles of notes? Just make sure that your professor is following your account so that they notice the effort! Make it a study case – selfies have become a serious topic of academic research and a rapid expansion of the Selfies Research Network is evidence of this. There have been several significant cultural and behavioral findings generated through the study of selfies. With (not) your girlfriend/boyfriend – some people believe that an academic career can be a serious impediment to personal happiness – prove them wrong! On a study trip – after all, tour…
disambiguating description: “Selfie” was declared a word of the year in 2013 as a result of a seventeen thousand per cent increase in usage. But selfies have, arguably, shifted from being the product of a purely narcissistic act to that of a normalised cultural phenomenon – even celebrities and politicians indulge in the not-so-occasional self-portrait.

Language Requirements for Master’s Programs in Spain
type: Article
title: Language Requirements for Master’s Programs in Spain
description: At universities within Catalonia, such as the major institutions in Barcelona, you can find courses taught in Catalan rather than in Spanish or English. Similarly, in the Basque region there are programs offering entirely or partially in Basque. For foreign students, however, it is generally not anticipated that you be able to speak any Catalan or Basque, unless you are specifically interested in studying the language, history or culture of the associated region. If that is the case, please take a look at the specific language requirements offered on the admissions pages of the programs in which you are interested. Below you can find information regarding language requirements for English and Spanish. English Although there are many English proficiency tests on the market, there are only a few that are widely accepted around the globe. In Spain, most top universities require applicants to show proof of at least B2 level English proficiency, following the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) of the Council of Europe. Below is a chart showing the different levels of language proficiency according to this framework. A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 Beginner Elementary Intermediate Upper Intermediate Advanced Proficient Below are the three main exams applicants can take and a brief breakdown of scores that would qualify as at least B2 level. TOEFL – 90-100 The Test of English as a Foreign Language is owned by ETS Global, which also owns the GRE and other testing services. Though a paper version of this test is still available, the computer-based version is preferred by most institutions and is offered around the globe. IELTS – 6.5 The International English Language Testing System is also recognized globally. Unlike the TOEFL, which primarily focuses on American English, or the CPE, which primarily focuses on British English, IELTS uses and accepts both. CPE – A-C The Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English is one of two top English language proficiency exams offered b…
disambiguating description: Since 2011, the number of Master’s programs across Europe taught entirely in English has increased by 42%. Quite a large number of these programs are in Spain. Thus, if you are applying to a Master’s program in Spain, the language requirements will likely differ depending on the language of instruction – whether it’s a program fully in Spanish, both in Spanish and in English, fully in English or in another language such as Catalan or Basque. We will focus here on English and Spanish, offering information regarding the most common examinations and scores required for both of these languages.

Study in China: Top 10 Universities for International Students
type: Article
title: Study in China: Top 10 Universities for International Students
description: In China, higher education is typically divided into three different categories: general, technical, and specialized universities and colleges. There are opportunities and locations for study in every field. In China you will find programs not only specializing in economics, business and the nation’s latest advancements in technology, but also in history, language, and cultural studies. It is not only the fast-paced urban life that makes China an attractive destination for international students, but also the ancient roots of Chinese history, culture and art. When choosing a university in China, it is important to keep the overall outcome of your studies in mind. If your main goal of spending time in China is strictly language based, it is crucial to search for universities and colleges with strong language departments. If employment or further studies is your goal after studying in China, it is always important to search for a university or college with a high academic standard. Overseas study can have a wide range of benefits, particularly when looking for employment. With thousands of higher education institutions in China, it can be a tough task to find the right one. So we did a little of the work for you! To help you on your search we have compiled a list of our top 10 Chinese universities and colleges. Zhejiang University Peking University Tsinghua University Shanghai Jiao Tong University Fudan University Wuhan University Nanjing University Shandong University Sun Yat-sen University South China University of Technology As you embark on the life-changing journey of studying in a foreign country, make sure to also checkout the extensive list of Chinese programs in your field through the INOMICS database.

disambiguating description: Choosing a destination to study abroad in, either for a semester or the entire degree, can be an extremely daunting task. Mainland China is currently home to thousands of international students looking for an international education. Since the 1990s, China has been rapidly expanding its number of universities and higher education programs. This expansion runs parallel to the large economic growth that China continues to experience, making Chinese universities an attractive destination for international students. Thousands of students from around the world are going to China to experience the waking of the ‘sleeping dragon’ and the fast growth of the Chinese markets. All major cities in China have at least one university, and international students are often drawn to these metropolitan hubs.

Application Requirements for Master’s Programs in Spain
type: Article
title: Application Requirements for Master’s Programs in Spain
description: Although there is no common application one can use to apply to multiple Master’s programs at diverse universities in Spain, almost all programs now either require or strongly prefer online applications. The online process usually makes it very clear to students which elements are required, so please be sure to double check each specific program before beginning your application process. Statement of Purpose The statement of purpose, also called motivation letter or letter of motivation, acts as an introduction to who you are, what you have done and why you are interested in a given program. Any successful statement of purpose includes the following key elements: a clear and detailed display of interest in the program to which you are applying, an in-depth description of prior academic and professional achievements, a thorough explanation of how the given program fits with your long-term career goals and a solid conclusion tying this all together while highlighting why you are a great fit. For more details on what makes a great statement of purpose, take a look at the Advice Section article dedicated to the subject. Letters of Reference Like most institutions around the globe, universities in Spain take the recommendation of former professors and mentors into account when deciding whether or not to offer you admission. Top universities strongly suggest that you request such letters of reference from professors with whom you have worked very closely, such as academic advisors, thesis advisors or professors with whom you have taken multiple courses. In general, professors are asked to upload their letters of reference themselves, meaning that they are separate from the rest of your application. This is done so that the letters can remain confidential, allowing for a higher level of straightforwardness than might occur if your professors were to give their letters directly to you. Yet, many professors would prefer simply emailing their letter straight to the applicant,…
disambiguating description: If you are interested in earning your Master’s degree in Spain, it is important to pay close attention to the specific guidelines of the programs to which you are applying, as requirements can vary greatly from program to program. Yet, there are certain elements that tend to be quite universal across applications. Whether you are applying to a program fully in Spanish or one of the growing number of courses taught in English, you will almost certainly be asked to provide most, if not all of the following components as part of your application.

The Benefits of Working Abroad – Why It Pays to Gain Experience Elsewhere
type: Article
title: The Benefits of Working Abroad – Why It Pays to Gain Experience Elsewhere
description: As globalization brings the world closer together, and more and more countries begin to offer visas to highly skilled workers, the possibilities for employment around the world continue to grow. Using international networks like INOMICS, you can search for job opportunities in countries around the globe in your field of interest. The question we want to tackle in this article is – once you’ve found a job abroad, what are the benefits of taking it? Language In today’s globalized and extremely competitive market, speaking multiple languages is a must for anyone looking to land a great job. Regardless of your field, being able to converse and engage with clients, partners or other colleagues in a second (or third or fourth) language benefits your brain and your company. According to a recent study, approximately 31% of executives speak two languages and 20% speak three, and the number of organizations specifically hiring multi-lingual applicants is growing rapidly. As this article in Forbes points out, working and living abroad offers the perfect opportunity to really immerse yourself in a foreign language and build specific vocabulary relevant to your field. Just remember that everyone struggles with language learning sometimes, so be persistent and the hard work will pay off! Salary Many companies offer workers higher salaries when they are willing to make a move abroad. As this article points out, most companies will also pay for your full move and even fund visits home. Even if you aren’t able to find a position abroad through a current employer, the opportunities for a boosted salary abroad are vast, and not just for workers coming from less to more developed countries. In many cases a move in the other direction can also be easy on your wallet – in terms of lower rents, lower cost of living and more money to put into your savings or retirement funds. Moreover, once you have worked abroad you will often be able to negotiate a higher salary upon your return as a re…
disambiguating description: In a previous post we delved into the topic of how studying abroad can help your future job prospects. Yet, whether or not you’ve spent time in other countries as a student, it can help your career to broaden your search parameters when looking for work later on. We’re not just talking about a semester or year spent volunteering in some remote part of the world (though that’s arguably quite a valuable experience as well) but rather about a serious career step that leads you to living and working in another country.
