How to Move Abroad to the United Kingdom as a Student

title: How to Move Abroad to the United Kingdom as a Student
description: If you have an offer to study in the UK, or are in the process of applying for British degree programs, this article is just for you. But these tips can easily be applied to other regions as well. That’s because while studying abroad is a thrilling and enriching experience, it inevitably presents many trials to overcome. Visas, bank accounts, university administration, finding a place to live, packing… many hurdles will crop up well before classes ever start, no matter where you choose to study. If you’re interested in other regions, be sure to check out our articles about studying abroad in the US and studying abroad in Europe. Either way, read on for some serious guidance on how to move abroad to study — especially if you’re interested in studying in the UK. Step One: Applying The first thing to do, of course, is to find a program to apply to! You can study abroad at the undergraduate or postgraduate level, and in each case you’ll likely encounter many of the same challenges. Take note though that in the UK, postgraduate courses tend to come with additional requirements that some regions like the USA may not have — such as writing a research proposal. Unsure how you should narrow down the sea of universities into an appropriately-sized list of applications? Check out our tips on how to search for a PhD program (many of these tips could apply to a Master’s or even Bachelor’s program search, too). Step Two: Getting your UK Student Visa Once you’ve been accepted to a program, first of all, take some time to celebrate! You’ll need a student visa to study in the UK, which you can officially apply for after being accepted to a UK university. The process for applying is fairly standard: you’ll need a university acceptance letter, identity documents, and sometimes specific pieces of medical history (vaccinations, etc.) depending on where you’re coming from. Be sure to check the UK’s official website for an updated list of specific requirements based on your citizenship. T…
disambiguating description: The United Kingdom has a rich history of education. Its Oxford University is considered the second-oldest continuously operating university in the world (or third, depending which online list you look at). And it seems that almost every city in the country has its own dedicated, globally-ranked university, making it a study destination for many.

How (Not) to Do Your PhD
type: Article
title: How (Not) to Do Your PhD
description: Having recently completed my PhD, in this piece I share everything I learned about doing a doctorate, drawn from my own experience. I like to call it the bad kind of advice. You will not find it in official PhD manuals, and your supervisors probably will not spell it out for you either. But you will hear it from those who have cooked in this kitchen: former PhD students like me, who came out the other side with the degree in hand. Marry your research topic A PhD is the kind of commitment you make in a long-term relationship. Over four years (or more), you will likely stay within the same field, so choose wisely. Think of it as keeping the spark alive: you will go to conferences where people mostly discuss your topic, read endless papers about it, and produce your own knowledge within it. All of this, day after day (weekends off are not guaranteed). Of course, you will have some flexibility to branch out within your field, but the core focus tends to remain the same, so genuine curiosity and passion for your topic help immensely. When I began my PhD journey, I felt pretty solid in my choice. I had already written my Master’s thesis on the same topic and worked as a research assistant during my undergrad years on a related project. That early start helped me familiarise myself with the field, the key literature, and the main gaps. Because the topic felt so familiar, I was genuinely excited to keep reading those papers. That kept me going without ever feeling bored. Grow comfortable with asking questions Your first big question will be your research question. But rest assured, many more follow: technical questions like how to cluster standard errors for a tricky model; practical ones like how to book accommodation for a conference using graduate school funds. Later on, you’ll face a bigger one: I am nearly done — what do I do next, and how exactly? I was never shy about asking questions when I felt uncertain, and it helped me learn how things work fast. That efficiency…
disambiguating description: You are about to start your journey as a PhD student this fall. Congratulations! It must feel like you now have all the time in the world to turn that research proposal you submitted with your application into reality. So, how do you make the most of that experience?

How to Write a Research Proposal
type: Article
title: How to Write a Research Proposal
description: Take a deep breath, read this article, and start brainstorming! Step 0: Understand What a Research Proposal is For The main purpose of your research proposal is to give the admissions committee an idea of two things: your ability to conduct quality research in economics, and your suitability for the program itself. Because of its importance, it’s also highly advisable to start this process as early as possible – ideally several months before application deadlines. Your proposal should indicate to the admissions committee that you understand the field and are capable of (with the right training and supervision) producing quality economics research. The topic you choose, the initial literature review you conduct, your intended methodology, and more: all of these will signal to the admissions committee that you either understand what it takes to conduct serious research, or that you do not. But even if the committee believes your research proposal is excellent, you may not be admitted. That’s because the second purpose of the proposal is to show that your research interests are a good fit for that specific economics department’s work. Remember, to earn your PhD, there must be a faculty member at that school who’s willing to supervise your research! You could have an absolutely amazing research proposal on microfinance, yet be rejected by the program on the grounds that none of their economics faculty are interested in microfinance. That’s why the next two steps in the process are critically important. Step 1: Identify your Research Interests Before you start writing your proposal, you obviously need a topic. It’s important to identify what you’re most interested in, especially since – if you’re accepted – research in this area will become your life for the next several years! The field of economics is vast, and there are a wide variety of papers being published. If you’re unsure where to start, first consider the economics classes you’ve enjoyed most in the past. Do yo…
disambiguating description: If you’re applying for a European-style economics PhD or Master’s of Research program, it’s highly likely that you’ll be asked to submit a research proposal. This is a document where you’ll describe the original research project you intend to pursue if you’re accepted into the economics program. This is going to be a fairly intense process. While not legally binding, this document is a major part of your application, and it’s extremely important to write a convincing and high-quality proposal. Giving yourself as much time as possible to work on it can only help you. However, if you’re applying to PhDs for the first time, this is also most likely your first time writing an economics research proposal. So, what to do?

Studying in the USA: How to apply for a student visa
type: Article
title: Studying in the USA: How to apply for a student visa
description: Applying for the US student visa might seem to be a daunting process, but we’re here to help make sense of it. The process is relatively straightforward, although it has many pieces. Read on to learn about how to apply for the student visa for the USA and our tips for making the application process easier for you. Note that this information is accurate as of the publish date above. Some of these requirements could be changed by the US authorities over time, however. Be sure to double check with the appropriate US government authority. Note that this article only covers studying in the United States; it does not cover work visa requirements for the US. But fear not – we have another article for just that! First step: Entering the US To enter the US, many travelers will need a Type B tourist visa. This is a nonimmigrant visa that allows someone to stay in the US temporarily, but does not allow long-term stay. If a prospective student wishes to travel in the US – perhaps to explore university campuses – before they acquire their student visa and start university, this is the visa to apply for. Details on applying for the Type B visa can be found at the US Department of State’s website. Then, a prospective student with a Type B visa can apply for a Type F visa to allow long-term stay for studies with a proper application supplemented by Form I-539. However, this strategy is not guaranteed and so is not recommended. Rather, it’s more secure to apply for a Type F visa from the get-go – but this requires acceptance to a university program in the US. Some travelers will be able to enter the US without an official visa at all. However, these travelers must still fill out the Electronic System for Travel Authorization form (available here) as part of the US’s Visa Waiver program. As of this writing, the list of eligible nationalities includes 40 countries that can be found here, including most of Europe, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and Taiwan. These…
disambiguating description: So you want to study abroad in the United States of America, the largest economy in the world. In keeping with its “melting pot” reputation, the US has been an education destination for many over the years, and is filled with many high-quality, internationally competitive universities. Of course, if you’re an international student, you’ll probably need to get a visa before you can go.

How To Find The Right Exchange Program
type: Article
title: How To Find The Right Exchange Program
description: So, how do you find the exchange program that’s the right fit for you? It can be a tough decision and one you should deliberate properly, so read on for INOMICS' best tips to help you find the ideal exchange program tailor-made for you. <11an>limit:3;categories:Bachelor's Programs;disciplines:Economics</11an> Location, Location, Location One of the biggest issues to consider when thinking about an exchange program is – obviously – where you would like to stay. You should consider not only the country that you would like to visit, but also the specific city or region (and even different regions of your home country). Are you a fan of big, bustling cities? Or would you prefer a small town or somewhere in the countryside? Would you like to be in a cosmopolitan place, surrounded by people from all over the world, or would you prefer to be somewhere more homogeneous with a strong shared culture? The area around your university of choice will greatly affect your experience studying there, so be sure you research the region to know what you’re getting yourself into. Naturally, you need to think about language as well. You probably won’t have time to learn a whole new foreign language before your planned semester exchange – unless, of course, you plan it far enough in advance to take language courses one or two years before. This could be a fantastic way for you to solidify those skills and help you get the most out of your degree. But keep in mind that foreign universities may not only offer classes in the local language. For instance, you might be able to study entirely in English during a semester exchange while abroad in France, Brazil, or many other countries. Be sure to explore the options that you have with your current language skills even in other countries – you might be pleasantly surprised with the options. Naturally, if language remains a concern for you, it’s worth considering an exchange program that takes place in a country with the same mother tongue, or ev…
disambiguating description: Exchange programs allow students to study at a different institution as part of their degree. Typically, students will use this opportunity to study abroad at a foreign partner of their home institution, though exchange programs can sometimes take place in the same country. Regardless, these programs are a fantastic way for students to broaden their horizons, take specific courses at another institution, and study abroad without committing to living multiple years in another country.

Studying in Europe - a US American Student's Experience in Berlin, Germany
type: Article
title: Studying in Europe - a US American Student's Experience in Berlin, Germany
description: 1) What is your degree in/what are you studying? Masters of Science in Business Administration. I will write my thesis with the Management chair. 2) What has been your favorite economics course and why? I have a couple favorite economics courses; namely, Game Theory, European Economic History 1 and 2, and Geography and Growth. What I like about all these courses is that they are challenging and relate directly to human behavior. All of these courses provide one with a new lens to view and understand the world. I particularly liked the European Economic History courses, because it helped me to understand how we came to our current (European) world. This is particularly interesting for a native US-American, as I grew up with history focused around the USA. Meaning, I had a basic knowledge of European history, and of other continents for that matter. It is interesting to learn about history from not only another continent/country’s perspective, but also from an economic perspective. <11an>limit:3;categories:Programs;disciplines:Economics</11an> 3) Were you surprised by anything? What was unexpected about studying in Germany or Europe? Naturally, there are differences between studying in Germany (or Europe) compared to the USA. However, I am always curious and open to experiencing something new; so I seldom feel surprised, rather fascinated, when I am met with a new experience. I guess, besides the differences in tuition, I was most intrigued to experience the difference in how universities are organized. In the USA, every student is assigned an advisor who recommends classes based on your interests and who emails you reminders for class enrollment deadlines. In Germany, perhaps because tuition is less expensive and, therefore, may have fewer resources to provide such extra assistance, every student is in charge of their own studies. I love it. Every student takes on the responsibility of choosing their own classes, finding out their own deadlines, etc. There is a feeli…

title: Studying in the USA - Two (European) Student Experiences in Charlotte, North Carolina
description: If you want to know what it’s like to study in the US - in terms of academic structure, culture, and life in general - then read on. 1) What is your degree? Why did you choose to study in the US? Lenka: I am pursuing a Master's degree in Data Science and Business Analytics. I always wanted to study abroad, and the US seemed like a good opportunity. I decided based on language (I wanted to go to an English speaking country) and major (I wanted to study Data Science; a similar program was opened in the Czech Republic at that time, but I wanted to study a program that already had some tradition). The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) was a good fit for all my requirements. Adam: MA in communication - it was not a decision about going to the USA or not going to the USA, it was more about going anywhere, about studying abroad. The USA won against other countries because of the student-athlete opportunities, and the work experiences you can get there. <11an>limit:3;disciplines:Economics;countries:United States</11an> 2) What were the cultural differences you experienced in schooling? How is education different in the US vs. back home? Lenka: Cultural Differences Students are not helping each other - in the US they do not speak with each other in the classes. I was really surprised by this. Another cultural difference was in clothing - many students wear clothes similar to pajamas in class. Back at home, people dress more business casual at universities. Also in the USA, university campuses are bigger and nicer compared to in the Czech Republic and student life in the USA is better. Education Differences Grading is more strict in the Czech Republic compared to the USA (only a few students from classes get an A, and the rest get B or C). Because of that, nobody cares about GPA in Czechia - students only try to pass exams. There we do not have many assignments during the school year. If so, we have only a few. The main focus is on midterms and the final exam. …

This means that on articles related to student accommodation or housing, we may make some money if a user clicks through to an affiliate link and makes a qualifying purchase. INOMICS users also gain a 15% discount on the Uniplaces Service Fee at the time of booking payment (the discount of your promo code must be entered in the payment session before sending the reservation request). Use the promo code: UP15INOMICS. However, these posts are not sponsored posts. Through your university Wherever you're travelling for your study abroad, it's likely that the university which you're visiting will be able to help you with your move. Many universities have an international students office, or a visiting students office, which is there to help you with any issues you have – including dealing with paperwork, help with language problems, and finding accommodation. They may have a list of reliable private accommodation in the area, or a message board on which staff and students can post if they have a room to rent. Some universities even have their own residence halls or other campus housing options, which you can rent by the semester, usually for not too much money. The advantage of going through your university is that people who know the local area can advise you on good locations, and what a reasonable cost is. The distance to campus is often manageable, too. The disadvantage is that university-provided accommodation can tend to focus on being safe and in less exciting areas of town. If you want somewhere more adventurous in a lively area, then you should consider renting privately. Through personal contacts When you're moving to a new country, often you won't know many people there and so won't have a social network to help you out. But before you go, ask your friends and use social media to find out if there are any friends-of-friends living in or near to the area you're traveling to. If you…

title: Best Countries in Europe to Do Your Economics Master’s Degree
description: The exposure to new peoples, conversations, and ways of life is thrilling, healthy, and a great thing to do while studying. Is it challenging? Well, yes, but the worthwhile things in life tend to be, and if you’re already considering studying economics abroad for your Master’s, you're likely up to the task. Fortunately, economics is a subject that is applicable no matter where you study it – economic truths, unlike legal systems and medical licenses, don’t change across borders. <11an>limit:3;categories:Master's Programs;disciplines:Economics</11an> Do you find the prospect appealing? Then the obvious first question is: where to go? There are many places around the world to consider, of course, though this article will focus on places to study abroad in Europe. Europe’s a big place, and the options may seem intimidatingly endless. To assist you with sorting through your options for this momentous decision, we’ve compiled a list of the best European countries where you can study abroad, paying particular attention to the costs (ever an important consideration!), and what the country has to offer. Netherlands The Netherlands, consistently rated as one of the happiest countries in the world, also happens to be a great place to study. However, the cost of studying is a bit higher than some other options on this list. For Dutch students, and those from EU/EEA countries, Switzerland or Surinam, most of the cost of studying at Dutch universities is covered by the government. That being said, all students are required to contribute a statutory tuition fee, also known as ‘collegegeld’, which typically comes to around 2000 euros (which is two thousand; take note, dear reader, that Europeans use periods and commas the opposite way that Americans do). For non-EU/EEA students these costs can be higher and dependent on your prospective institution, course, etc. English speakers may be interested to know that Dutch higher education institutions offer a very high proportion of cour…

It makes sense, too: for little can compare to the excitement of moving abroad, exploring a foreign culture, practicing a new language (perhaps), and meeting people that you would never have met otherwise.

10 Most Affordable Countries in Europe to Do Your Economics PhD

title: 10 Most Affordable Countries in Europe to Do Your Economics PhD
description: Fortunately, the UK and the US aren't the only two places in the world with colleges and universities great for studying economics. Particularly in many European countries, higher education hasn't yet been turned into a corporate business to the same extent, meaning not only can you find cheap PhD programs - some are completely free. But paying less (or even nothing) doesn't translate into a lesser experience. On the contrary, many of the countries on this list can make legitimate claims to housing some of the most prestigious higher learning institutions in the world. Studying abroad has other advantages during your years to complete the program, too. These include learning a new language, getting to know a new culture, meeting people you wouldn't normally, and more generally forcing yourself out of your comfort zone. These things can be somewhat scary, but are often incredibly rewarding. So without trying to convince you any further to move to another country, read on for our list of the top ten places to look for an affordable PhD in Europe (in no particular order). If you plan to start your PhD application soon, download our free guide "How to successfully apply to a PhD in Economics". 1. Germany Germany's positive academic reputation is known worldwide, and the country has a rich, impressive higher education system. Most universities in Germany have very low or no tuition fees, and there are large numbers of government grants available for PhD students, such as those provided by the DAAD or the Excellence Initiative. Living costs vary between areas, but rent control means that housing is relatively affordable in many parts of Germany, although costs have been increasing in recent years. There are often plenty of courses available in various fields in English; aside from that, learning German, while a tough language, can be an extremely rewarding experience. This author can testify. <11an>limit:3;categories:PhD Programs;countries:Germany;disciplines:Economics</1…
disambiguating description: Are you interested in doing a PhD in economics but worried about the cost? It's a real concern for many, and can dramatically affect your decision-making process. If you live in the United Kingdom, you could end up with around fifty thousand pounds worth of debt at the end of your three years. In the United States, you could have even more. The stress of having this weigh over you - not only while you're studying, but also afterwards while you search for a job and during your first years in employment, can be massive.

Tuition Fees at Czech Universities – How and Where to Learn Czech and Study for Free

title: Tuition Fees at Czech Universities – How and Where to Learn Czech and Study for Free
description: Browse our programs in the Czech Republic Study in Czech for free Have you ever considered learning the Czech language? Knowing Czech has much more advantages than easier communication with the locals! Whatever you nationality is, if you study a degree programme taught entirely in the Czech language at a public or state university in the Czech Republic, there are no tuition fees, according to the country's Higher Education Act. This Act says that the foreign students have the same rights and duties as their Czech colleagues. The students can only expect paying the fees that are connected with their studies. These are administrative fees related to the entrance procedure or fees for exceeding the standard length of studies by more than one year. Programmes in foreign languages are available The offer for international students at Czech universities is expanding and there are 1,000 accredited study programmes in English offered at present. Should a Czech public or state university offer degree programmes carried out in foreign languages, it sets tuition fees for these study programmes. Even if you opt for studies in foreign language instead of a free-tuition public higher education, the costs will be lower when compared to other countries with an equally good educational reputation. The tuition fees differ from 0 - 22,350 USD per year and the amount depends on the relevant institution and study programme. Studying at private higher education institutions is always paid, no matter what the teaching language is and it varies with every institution. Czech language for foreigners Foreign students who wish to enrol in a Czech taught study programme must prove the adequate knowledge of the language and pass the entrance exams in the Czech language just like Czech applicants. If you don't know how and where to start learning Czech, you can find some useful links at the Study in the Czech Republic website. For example, you can register for one of the year-long preparatory cou…
disambiguating description: More than 43.000 foreign students are currently studying at universities in the Czech Republic. Many of them don't have to pay tuition fees, because they are enrolled in Czech taught degree programmes and therefore they study under the same conditions as Czech students do. While it might be difficult right now to move during the pandemic, it's always worth keeping yourself informed of what your future options are.

Letters of Reference for UK University Applications
type: Article
title: Letters of Reference for UK University Applications
description: Most students ask for letters of reference from their thesis advisor, academic advisor or professors with whom they have taken multiple courses or who are very familiar with their work. Such a close relationship will allow for a thorough and well-written letter. If you do not have more than one professor who you feel would be qualified or willing to write a positive letter on your behalf, it is also acceptable to ask employers or other mentors to act as a referee. If you chose this route, it is advisable to include an explanatory note detailing the grounds for your selection. Browse our UK economics programs listings here Content of the Letter The letter of reference should be no more than one page in length and should explicitly reference your overall work ethic, career interests, research skills and ability to meet deadlines. Your referee should explain their relationship to you and highlight important milestones or achievements from your academic career. Moreover, a good reference letter offers clear insight into why you are interested in the course to which you are applying and how it would fit into your academic trajectory. Your referee should be able to comment specifically on your level of engagement with material, thereby emphasizing your particular strengths. Your reference letter might indicate that you sought out extra discussion during office hours, highlighting your added commitment to go above and beyond what is required of you. Additionally, if your referee is familiar with your extracurricular work, including positions in clubs, teams or even student jobs, it is perfectly acceptable for them to mention such engagements if they are relevant to the course. If you engaged in voluntary work, it is always positive for a referee to mention such an endeavour. By referencing such activities, your referee is showing that he or she is familiar with you as a person, while also highlighting your numerous positive attributes and qualifications. <11an>limit:2;cate…
disambiguating description: Regardless of where you are applying, nearly every course requires at least one, if not two or three letters of reference. Such documents are sometimes also referred to as letters of recommendation. In general, it is best for reference letters to be written by professors with whom you have worked closely, so they can offer detailed insight into you and your work.

How to Apply for a Master’s Scholarship
type: Article
title: How to Apply for a Master’s Scholarship
description: Applying for scholarships is different to applying for a Master’s program. We have collected the best and most relevant tips applicable to the different stages of application. 1. Research different scholarship options available Start your research early, as collecting and preparing documents can take a lot of time. It’s never a good idea to have to do everything in the last minute. Some scholarship options will match your personal situation or characteristics better. If you are interested in accessing a list of prestigious scholarships offered by top universities, feel free visit the INOMICS scholarship section. Check out postgraduate scholarship listings here 2. Check if you are eligible Checking whether you match the requirements for a specific scholarship is extremely important. You don’t want to use your time applying to a scholarship you have no chance of getting. If you are not sure whether you qualify or not, contact the scholarship sponsor. Moreover, if you can contact people who have successfully applied to the same type of scholarship, their help or input can be highly valuable. 3. Check in advance all requirements and organize your documents Checking the scholarship requirements and making a list of general/common documents required by multiple institutions will save time and make your life easier during the send-out of applications. As a general overview, the majority of scholarships require the following documents: - CV/ Personal Data - Motivation Letter/Statement of Purpose - Essay/Research Proposal/Writing Sample - Transcript of Records - Test scores (English, GRE, GMAT) - Income Statements/Tutor’s Financial Information - Letters of Recommendation - Special certificates (membership to groups) Make sure to pay attention to the specific requirements for each scholarship, such as form or length, in order to be eligible. 4. Provide relevant and accurate information Be sure you provide all information that is asked for. Missing or badly-presented informati…
disambiguating description: Everyone wants to be admitted to a top university in their favorite location. Potential reputation among employers, high quality of education and the potential boost that they can represent for a professional career make top universities the first priority of thousands of students around the world. One factor makes the decision tough, however: the potential cost it can represent for the student budget. For this reason, it is always good to look into scholarships, whether from the university itself or from a foundation.

Doing a Master's While Travelling

title: Doing a Master's While Travelling
description: If you're thinking of going travelling but want to check out some Master's programs at the same time, take a look at our program listings. Set up a Virtual Private Network A virtual private network, or VPN, is a service that makes it safe and secure to use the Internet anywhere you happen to be. It does this by sending your connection through a server that hides what you're doing online. VPNs can be used wherever your travels take you and any data you use or create will be encrypted. That way no one can identify your computer, access your school data or steal your personal information. Make sure you're familiar with how VPNs are used in the countries you travel and be prepared for any technological or legal limitations in those places. Find an online study program Clearly a traditional program won't allow you to skip class and travel as the whim takes you. For that reason, you'll need to find an accredited and reputable online Master's degree program that you can access anywhere. There are many programs of this sort based out of many colleges and universities across the globe so do your research and find the one that best fits your area of study and your needs as you travel. Combine your itinerary with course requirements Whether you're traveling for work, pleasure or as a member of the military, look through the course requirements as you plan your trip itinerary. You will want to create an easy week if you have exams or a paper to write; don't pack your travel with sightseeing or constant meetings during these times! When you have an intense of week of study ahead of you, try to schedule more downtime or stops in relaxed locations where you'll have the time to get down to business when it's important. Pack the right materials You don't want to find yourself hundreds or thousands of miles from home without the materials you need to do your coursework. Make sure you have packed all relevant books, papers, and software you'll need to keep track of and complete your s…
disambiguating description: Having a Master's degree is a valuable way to advance your career and gain more knowledge in your chosen field. Unlike an undergraduate degree program, you may not have to go to school full time to achieve this step in your education. However, it does require some time and effort, which means you'll need to figure out how to fit it in with your lifestyle. If that lifestyle includes travel as a priority, you may wonder how you can complete your Master's without giving up your travel schedule. The good news is that you can do both. It won't be the conventional way to graduation that most post-grad students follow, but it can be done and you'll enjoy the freedom to travel while also completing your degree. Here's what you should know.

Should I Do a PhD?
type: Article
title: Should I Do a PhD?
description: If you're currently mulling over whether to do a PhD, check out our PhD listings to find the right course for you. Do you want to go into academia? The main reason that most people start a PhD is so that they can begin a career in academia. However, doing a PhD and working in academia is very different from studying from an undergraduate or master's degree. You will need to be much more self directed and self motivated, and you will be more independent in your work, but it is hard to know if this environment will suit you until you try it. A good frame of reference for PhD work is the project that you perform as part of your master's or the final year of your bachelor's degree. Did you enjoy coming up with a concept and finding a way to test or explore that concept in a thesis? If yes, then you may be suited to a PhD. Be realistic about job prospects Many people growing up today have heard all their life that they have to have a good education to get a good job. And though this may be true, a high level of education is in no way a guarantee that a highly paid job will follow. Some subjects are better than others in terms of job outlook: subjects like hard sciences or computer science often lead to fulfilling jobs even if these positions are not necessarily within academia. But other subjects like the arts and humanities produce many more PhD graduates than there are jobs, leading to extremely stiff competition and many unemployed or underemployed graduates. This doesn't mean that doing a PhD is necessarily a bad idea – many students find doing a PhD to be deeply personally rewarding and the most exciting educational experience of their lives – but it does mean that you shouldn't do a PhD because you think you'll get a better job at the end. In most cases, if you want a particular job then you're better off gaining work experience than studying for an extended postgraduate degree. Where will funding for your PhD come from? One aspect of doing a PhD that is not always…
disambiguating description: Here's a big question that's on the mind of many master's and undergraduate students: should I do a PhD? The idea of dedicating three years or more of your life to original research is both exciting and terrifying, and the experience can be either exhilarating or harrowing, or usually a mix of both. Today we'll take a look at some of the issues to consider when you are thinking about applying for a PhD program.

How To Prepare For Your Post-Doc Interview
type: Article
title: How To Prepare For Your Post-Doc Interview
description: 1. Prepare an outline of your current research project One of the biggest questions you will need to answer in your interview is to explain your current research project, or the project you are planning on starting very soon. First off, you should be able to explain the essential principals of your project in just a few sentences, covering the research question you want to answer, the methodology you will use, and what results might mean. Then you should be able to talk about these topics more in depth, and also to explain how your prior experience makes you well suited to performing the project. Talk about what input you are hoping to get on the project from other group members and how the results will contribute to the field. 2. Gather references from your PhD supervisor and others As part of the interview process, you will need to share references or letters of recommendation from your PhD supervisor. If you have a mentor in the field or you have a good relationship with a senior professor, you can also ask them to provide you with a recommendation letter. Typically, you will either be asked to provide letters of recommendation in advance of the interview, or you will be asked for the contact details for your references and your interviewers will contact them and ask for information about you. You should reach out to your references and ask them if they will talk on your behalf, and make sure to bring their contact details with you to the interview. 3. Research the university, department, and PIs you are interviewing with It's important for any interview that you know a bit about the institution and people that you will be interviewed by. You should know the names of your interviewers in advance, or at the very least you should know one of the interviewers. Use this information to learn about the work being done by the interviewers, and also learn about the research interests of the department and the university. If you can explain why you want to do a postdoc wi…

Applying to Summer School and How To Make The Most out of Your Summer School Experience
type: Article
title: Applying to Summer School and How To Make The Most out of Your Summer School Experience
description: If you're planning on applying to a summer school for economics this year, check out our insight into the top summer schools in economics. Applying to summer school It may sound obvious, but summer schools will have a deadline for applications. With a hectic end of term period that often includes both exams and coursework, it can be easy to forget about the deadline and miss out on a school. Application forms can also be long, arduous endeavours that require a bit of time and effort, so be prepared to put a little time aside to get these done, especially if you're applying to more than one school. Make sure you pick a course that you're going to be engaged in and that interests you academically. For instance, you could apply for a subject you already know a little about in order to deepen your understanding. On the other hand, you might want to pick something you know nothing about in order to learn something new. Bear in mind if you choose to pick a new class that the amount of new information you'll be learning might be overwhelming, so you'll want to keep it manageable. Many schools won't teach for a full school day, but just four hours, for instance, over the course of a month - and the subject you pick will determine how long you'll be learning for. (Humanities often have fewer contact hours but more reading outside of the course; sciences may be heavier in actual teaching.) Also consider heading abroad to study. Needless to say there are excellent summer schools across the globe, and, if you can afford it, you'll get to experience a new place, meet new people, and potentially even learn a little of a new language. How to afford a summer school Summer schools often come with a hefty price tag. Your home institution may not always be able to offer you funding, but that doesn't mean the opportunity is off limits: there are are a lot of places from which you can secure a stipend or a grant. For North Americans, here’s a list of options put together by the American…

Top Tips for Students: How To Write an Effective Personal Statement for Your University in the UK
type: Article
title: Top Tips for Students: How To Write an Effective Personal Statement for Your University in the UK
description: Follow the standard format There is an accepted format for personal statements, and while deviating from the format might be required in some unusual cases, it's usually best to stick with it. The format is as follows: Talk about why you want to study economics and if there is any particular subfield which you are drawn to. Do you want a career in economics? Is there a particular organisation that you'd like to work for or a role that you think you'd be perfect for? Talk about why you would make a good economics student, including the relevant courses you've taken and any non-academic reasons that you'll be suited to the subject. You can also talk about how you can contribute to the university more broadly – such as through music, sports, or debate clubs. Show your interest in economics by talking about the books, journals, or newspapers that you have read and talk about the questions that they raised for you about the subject. What about these books made you want to study economics more? Demonstrate your competence by describing your work experience or voluntary experience which is relevant to economics. If possible, talk about direct results that you achieved: for example, that you volunteered for an economic justice NGO and that you were able to bring in a certain amount of money in fundraising, or that you improved a process by a certain percentage. Talking about achievements is preferable to describing your job duties. List any prizes or awards that you have received. This can be things like school prizes, Duke of Edinburgh awards, or participation in Model UN events. Don't talk in sweeping generalisations Many students make the mistake of being enthusiastic but non specific. “Since I was young, I have been fascinated by economics and have wanted to study it in depth!” is not a very meaningful statement on its own. To support such a statement you need to give evidence of your enthusiasm, by talking about specific courses you took, books you read, or activities …

title: Top 10 New Year's Eve Parties for Students Around the World
description: Amsterdam: Dam Square New Year's Eve in Amsterdam is a fun, calm, well-organised affair – not the wild mess you might expect from a city with a reputation for its open-minded laws. The local council puts on firework displays all over the city, and in Dam Square there is also live music and a large stage with celebratory hosts and guests. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and the event is entirely free for the public. Las Vegas: Downtown Countdown Huge numbers of Americans descend on Las Vegas for New Year's, to enjoy the gambling, the drinking, and the party atmosphere. Downtown Countdown is one of the biggest events in the city, including live entertainment, fireworks, and light shows. This big, bustling event is sure to be wild, as long as you can get yourself to distant Nevada! London: Fireworks on the Thames For those braving London during NYE celebrations, prepare for serious crowds and a whole lot of people everywhere you go. Bars, pubs and clubs are famously expensive for this night in the capitol – even more that usual. So for students, getting together to watch the cheap public fireworks over the river is a far preferable option – the Thames never looks better. Just remember that if you want a good view, you'll need to get there seriously early! And you'll want to pack your own snacks and drinks too. Barcelona: Placa Catalunya New Year's Eve is generally more of a family celebration in Spain that in other parts of the world, where people will eat dinner together and the head out to the bars and clubs after midnight. But there's also always a party spirit in big local meeting points like Placa Catalunya in Barcelona where people meet to ring in the new year together. Tokyo: Shibuya crossing Lots of Tokyo locals spend NYE at home with their families, but if you're visiting there's still lots to do. You can join the countdown crowds at Shibuya crossing, and there's a huge public party at the famous Tokyo Tower. In Japanese tradition, it's more important …
