Tips For Dealing With Language Issues When Studying Abroad
type: Article
title: Tips For Dealing With Language Issues When Studying Abroad
description: Language of the teaching versus generally used language in the institution If you're looking into studying abroad, likely you have already checked what language the teaching is performed in. The majority of courses, especially bachelor's degrees, will take place in the native language of the country in which the institution is located. Universities with a focus on international students, especially at postgraduate levels, may also offer teaching in English. Obviously you'll need to be confident in the language used for teaching at your institution. However, don't forget that there may be a different language used for administrative or social purposes at universities. In German institutions, for example, it's common for some teaching to be done in English, but for the majority of university administration, such as enrolment, library use, and assessment submission, to be done in German. So remember that you may need to have at least basic knowledge of more than one extra language to be comfortable as an international student. Tips on learning a new language: before you go It's important to get in some practise with your new language before you depart for your international study time. You don't need to be an expert, but you do need enough knowledge to deal with basic tasks and questions, such as asking for directions or ordering food in a restaurant. Of course, a great way to learn these basics is to take a language course in your home country. If you have the time, this is sure to increase your knowledge and your confidence when you arrive in your new country. But if you don't have the time or money to attend a course, don't despair! There are lots of other way you can practise your language before you start travelling. Websites like Duolingo teach you the basics and allow you to practise your reading, writing, and even speaking of a new language if you have a microphone, all for free. You can also learn a lot about the sounds and typical sentence formations of your …
disambiguating description: One big challenge for students who are studying internationally is dealing with language issues. If the native language of the country in which you're studying is not your own native language, it can be difficult to make the most of your studies. However, it can also be a fun opportunity to learn a new language and to pick up new language skills. Today we're offering some tips on dealing with language issues when studying abroad.

How to target your announcements: Case-Study from Belgium
type: Article
title: How to target your announcements: Case-Study from Belgium
description: Firstly, preparing a clear and attractive job description is already half of the recipe to success. Candidates need to know what the position entails, and what you expect of them in terms of work-tasks and qualifications. A common oversight is providing clear instructions to apply – it is crucial that you supply either a link for an online application or an (email) address for candidates to send a CV and documents. The second ingredient is to communicate this description via an effective channel to the right audience. Make sure the channel you select offers you people with the right level of education, and in the right field. The final and perhaps most important challenge is how to strike the balance between advertising the job as broadly as possible while keeping it targeted according to your criteria, for example by applicants’ country. One option is to write an extensive qualifications list in your job advert, which is especially tempting when there is no limit on characters in one announcement. A more effective, and easier, method currently offered by INOMICS is Geo-Targeting. This option allows you to specify countries where you would like your advert to be shown most. As an example of how this can work in your favour, we took similar recent Job Announcements from Belgium, split into two categories: 1) Targeted to a set of European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom). 2) Regular announcements without Geo-Targeting (usually mostly viewed by applicants of the same region, language and discipline). The graphs below show how a higher percentage of potential applicants from the target countries were attracted by the Geo-Targeted ads (Figure 1) compared to regular ads without Geo-Targeting (Figure 2). The Geo-Targeting option is automatically included in all Premium announcements on INOMICS (up to 10 countries), but it is also possible to add it to any announcement of your choice for €75 per country. For bookings…

How To Find A PhD Supervisor
type: Article
title: How To Find A PhD Supervisor
description: <11an>limit:3;categories:PhD Programs;disciplines:Economics</11an> Finding a Supervisor The first thing to remember when you begin searching for a supervisor is that you are looking for someone who will fit well with you both professionally and personally. Try not to be too swept up by the famous names in your field - although in some ways, having a senior or well-known professor as your supervisor can be a great career advantage, the most famous professors are often those with the highest workload, and they may have little time to devote to supervision. Consider that more junior or less well-known researchers can make excellent supervisors if you have good rapport together. Try to find someone with whom you feel comfortable, and who challenges your ideas in a constructive and helpful way. Remember that supervision is a relationship which should be beneficial to both parties. When you meet a potential supervisor, the meeting is as much for your benefit as for theirs – you can learn a lot about their supervision style, and how much time, funding, and other resources that they can offer you. Do ask direct questions, such as how much time they can devote to you, what duties you will be expected to perform as part of their research group, what funding is available and what will happen if the funding runs out before your project is completed, and so on. These practical matters can often be forgotten in the excitement of discussing your research ideas, but it is very much to your advantage to have as much information about these matters as possible. Finding a Lab or Research Group You are unlikely to be working alone with your supervisor, and it is probable that you will be joining a laboratory or research group headed by the supervisor. You may be working closely with other PhDs and postdocs in the group, so it's important that you get to know them too when making a decision. If you can, attend a lab meeting or discussion group, and see what topics are debated and how gr…
disambiguating description: When planning to pursue a PhD, one of the most important decisions you must make is to choose a supervisor for your project. A supervisor supports you and advises you in your research, helps you with your career development (for example by introducing you to relevant people in your field and suggesting conferences that you should attend), and provides encouragement to you throughout your PhD. Your supervision will be the most important academic relationship of your PhD years, so it's vital to find someone who fits your research interests and personality well. Below we'll share some tips for helping you to find the best supervisor for your project.

title: Teaching abroad: challenges and advice for teaching at a university in a foreign country
description: The advantages of working abroad include learning new languages, experiencing novel professional environments and broadening your cultural and intellectual perspectives. Adjacent to these clear benefits are of course several challenges and obstacles that must be negotiated if the would be ‘global teacher’ is to appreciate and maximise their teaching experience fully. A quick Google scan reveals that for every positive experience there is seemingly a negative or challenging one. However, in this age of freedom of information in which research is rendered so effortlessly, there is no excuse for not being prepared when it comes to teaching abroad. There are a plethora of blogs and forums in which to discuss and discover personal testimonies of teachers who have taught abroad. These include details about specific institutions, cities and country profiles. Do not hesitate to contact people who are already there now to know what you are getting yourself into, and avoid being in a position where you find yourself lamenting “I wish someone would have given me some honest feedback about it before going”. Importantly, the greatest challenges in teaching in a foreign country often include everything that happens outside of the lecture theatre. Each country has its own bureaucratic systems (most of which have a seemingly frustrating character). So whether it is opening a bank account or filling out a medical form, there are many pitfalls that can be avoided by simply doing the research beforehand. Principally among these are work and accommodation contracts. Read carefully any documents you are given to sign as many teachers have been duped by fake organisations and dubious contracts. With some common sense and intelligent research such unfortunate situations can be avoided. It is also important to bear in mind that even in your native country, each university has its own specific character and teaching philosophy, so make sure that you are aware of these once you start teachin…
disambiguating description: Each year, thousands of university teachers leave their native environments to go and teach and/or conduct academic research in a foreign country. Indeed, in this increasingly globalized world populated by a highly networked mobile workforce, there are seemingly unending possibilities, incentives and occasions to teach in a higher education institution in a foreign country. Gaining such experience is encouraged to the point where it is now even expected on your CV. Personally speaking, having taught on 3 continents, I can attest to the value of gaining such international experience. Even as a student in higher education, I fondly recall that my most interesting, passionate and captivating teachers were those who had benefited from a similarly international experience.

Tips on Starting Work in a New Field for Your PhD or Postdoc
type: Article
title: Tips on Starting Work in a New Field for Your PhD or Postdoc
description: Adjusting to classes and lectures Moving to a new field can mean adjusting to not just new content, but also to new teaching styles. Some fields rely mostly on lectures, in which one presenter conveys information to a large class of students, while other fields make more use of seminars, in which a group of students discuss a topic together while lead by a teacher. If you are unused to certain teaching methods it can take some time to adapt, so it can help to identify your strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning. If you struggle to write coherent notes fast enough while listening to a lecture, consider asking if you can take an audio recording of the lecture. Often this can be done with a mobile phone, and lets you replay the lecture at your own rate for note-taking later. If you are inexperienced in class participation and find seminars intimidating, rather than focusing on voicing your own opinion you can start by asking questions of the other students and engaging with their responses. Find a way that you can retain information which works for you. If you are the one leading a class or lecture, remember to check the styles and materials which your students have experienced previously, so that you can adapt your material to fit with their knowledge and abilities. Assessment styles In addition to differences in teaching styles, there will likely be differences in assessment styles between fields too. Find out if your work will be assessed through written examination, multiple choice examination, essay submission, project work, or oral presentation. Don't panic if you haven't experienced the assessment style before – all of these can be practised. Lecturers will often provide you with example exam papers from previous years, which you can attempt to complete at home with a set timescale. For oral presentations, ask your friends to observe you presenting and give feedback – even if they are not knowledgeable in your field particularly, they can give import…
disambiguating description: Starting out a new role as a PhD student or postdoc will often be demanding and involve a steep learning curve. This is especially true if you have moved into a new discipline or field than you have worked in previously. With different approaches to research, learning and assessment than that which you have experienced before, it can take some effort to adjust to a new setting. Below are some tips to ease this transition to help you make the most of your postdoc in a new field.

Networking at an Academic Conference
type: Article
title: Networking at an Academic Conference
description: One of the most common ways to network is at conferences and events, which offer great opportunities for those attending: 1. If you are a graduate student or academic, you can meet keynote speakers of trending research topics and develop your own knowledge: whether you have a similar research topic or you are exploring new research opportunities, this allows you to meet leading names in your research area and ask them for advice 2. You can create connections and relationships with other researchers and professionals: to discuss ideas for future cooperation, to work on ongoing research papers or to build partnerships for the promotion of programs. 3. You can enjoy extra-curricular conference activities: meet new people from different backgrounds and benefit from sharing ideas, knowledge and methodologies with colleagues from around the world in a more informal setting. 4. You can promote your university or institution: during a conference you have a great opportunity to sell the image and improve the reputation of your institution. Whether to colleagues who are actively looking for education agreements, or to students and agencies ready to apply to your university or bring you quality students, when you attend an event you are an ambassador for your institution, with all the responsibility and opportunity that implies. In addition to the numerous subject specific academic events every year, education associations around the world organise annual networking events primarily aimed at admission officers, marketers and professors, giving them the possibility to meet peers and grow their reputation and influence in the education sector. One of the most popular associations for education is the National Association of Foreign Student Advisers (NAFSA), which since 1948 has supported international educators and institutions by setting up international quality standards and providing training and networking opportunities. Other associations like the Asia Pacific Association f…
disambiguating description: Networking is a must for academics and people working in the education industry. Indeed, professional success can stem directly from an ability to make connections and build mutual beneficial relationships. In academia perhaps more than in other professions, excellence in research and sought after skills are strongly complemented by both whom you know, and who knows you. Good relationships with others working in same field or industry can help accelerate your professional development, create future opportunities, and make sure you are up-to-date with the latest information in your field (gossip!) and inspire you with new ideas.

Networking in Academia: a How-To Guide
type: Article
title: Networking in Academia: a How-To Guide
description: Networking in person: At conferences and events The key to successful networking is the concept of reciprocity – that you and the person with whom you are connecting could be beneficial for each other's work. You shouldn't try just to impress the other person with your brilliance, or to hound them for favours or insights – rather, you need to achieve balance between the help that you can offer to each other. So if you're talking to someone at a conference, do ask questions about their work and their results, and do also offer relevant insights from your own work if you can. Remember that the person you are talking to also wants to cultivate a broad network, and they are likely to be as interested in your research as you are in theirs. Many academics like to practise a brief “elevator pitch” of their research for use in networking situations. This one minute summation of yourself and your topic should be presented in a way that would be comprehensible to someone who was not an expert in your field. You should be able to convey what is interesting and unique about you and your research in a succinct way, so practise this for when someone asks about your work. Online networking: Twitter and Facebook One of the most popular methods of networking, particularly among young academics, is through the use of online social networks. Websites such as Twitter or Facebook allow you to share text, pictures, links and other content. Twitter is a popular choice of microblogging platform among academics who want to share research with each other and the public. All of the short form text entries are public, so you can quickly built up networks of experts to follow in your topic from all over the world. Following these expert users, retweeting interesting content, and tweeting to promote your own research are all ways to boost your online profile. Facebook tends to be used more personally, for connecting with friends and casual social acquaintances. But that doesn't mean you can't us…
disambiguating description: Networking is a concept which is somewhat alien to many academics – you may well have heard how important it is to create an interactive network with other researchers in your field, but it's hard to know how to get started. Some people have a negative view of networking; thinking that it involves being deceptive or finding a way to turn every conversation around to yourself. But it needn't be that way! Successful networking is all about putting you in touch with other like-minded academics or professionals with whom you share interests. These networks help you both by supplying information (for example, finding someone with an expertise in a statistical technique which you are interested in using) and by providing you with a way to share your research (for example, sending your recent publications to other researchers who could find it useful). Networking can be a fun and rewarding way to build up your profile within your discipline.

Why and How to Change Fields for Postgraduate Work
type: Article
title: Why and How to Change Fields for Postgraduate Work
description: When beginning work in a new field, it is vitally important to be well-prepared. You want to understand the basic concepts, terminology, and the hotly debated theories of your new field. The best way to approach this is through extensive reading – take advantage of local or university libraries if you can, to access journals and books. Don't worry if journal articles are difficult for you to read or if there are some sections which you don't understand. You want to familiarise yourself with the style and typical content of articles in your new field, so don't concern yourself too much with remembering factual information. Books can be excellent introductions to your field, however, be sure to check the publication date. Some fields (such as the sciences) move very fast, and the information in books is quickly out of date. For the latest news in your field, search online for topical blogs. Many academics and interested laypeople cover the latest research and news-worthy developments of their fields on blogs. These blogs are often written by one author and so should be taken as the opinion of just one person and not as a definitive objective view; however they will help to show you the ongoing developments and debates in your field. If you are considering changing to a new field, you might feel intimidated by your lack of background knowledge and skills. Isn't it hard enough to start a postgraduate course, even harder if the course is in a field you don't know? A move can be challenging, but likely you already have many relevant skills from your undergraduate studies which will help you. Skills like critical thinking, essay writing, and clear argumentation will be useful and relevant in any area of academia. Similarly, your research skills such as reading comprehension and critique, or use of the library, will be helpful no matter which field you choose to pursue. You will have built up these crossover skills during school and undergraduate study, so assess the areas …
disambiguating description: Why move to a new field for postgraduate study? Perhaps a topic caught your eye during your undergraduate studies and you always wanted to pursue it further. Perhaps you're confident in your understanding of the essential facts of your field and feel that it's time for a change. Perhaps you want to broaden your skills and gain some variety to your studies. In any case, postgraduate study allows you to delve deeper into topics and to learn more independent research skills. If you're thinking of making a change, read on for advice on how to set yourself up in a new discipline for your postgraduate study.

Becoming part of such a network would not only allow you access to great interpersonal resources during your time as a student but would also boost your chances of forging positive collaborations down the line. Having previous connections can help you land doctoral and post-doctoral positions in the future, so building such a network is an invaluable step towards an academic career. The Spanish educational system balances theory and practice, offering students plentiful hands-on experience mixed with lectures and classroom time. Whether you are interested in earning your Master’s degree in English, Spanish or a combination of the two, you have many programs to choose from. Furthermore, Spain also offers diverse types of programs in terms of length, with both one-year and two-year programs to choose from. Below we will detail the various options available to you in each of these types. One-Year Programs There are many rigorous one-year Master’s programs available in Spain. In general, one-year programs have a strong focus on courses and give less emphasis to individual research. Accordingly, one-year Master’s programs do not usually require students to write a thesis, instead focusing solely on coursework. Such programs are often very intensive and can sometimes be specifically aimed at students looking to proceed directly on towards doctoral studies. One-year Master’s programs are especially fitting for students who earned four-year Bachelor’s degrees and recently completed an independent Bachelor’s thesis. If you earned a three-year Bachelor’s degree and did not complete your own thesis, a two-year Master’s is likely a better option for you. Although different universities have different academic calendars, many of the top universities follow the trimester or quarter system, particularly for single year programs. …
disambiguating description: If you are interested in earning a Master’s degree outside of your home country, Spain has a wide array of programs open to international students that make it a great place for graduate education. With 76 accredited universities spread across the country, you can choose a program and institution by discipline, location, reputation or other factors based on your individual preferences. Spain is home to a number of very well renowned institutions, particularly in fields such as economics, business and cultural studies.

Important Factors When Choosing a Graduate Program
type: Article
title: Important Factors When Choosing a Graduate Program
description: Cost and Financial Aid Although it would be wonderful not to have budget constraints, most students will have no choice but to consider cost when choosing a graduate program. It is important to consider not only the tuition costs of a particular program, but also the cost of living generally. Most universities offer scholarships and other forms of financial aid, so remember to research these in detail. Have a look at our blog posts about how to apply for a master’s scholarship, as well as a recent listing of some of the scholarships available for study in Europe. There is also a listing of a variety of scholarships in the INOMICS database. Location Everyone has different priorities when it comes to location. When considering graduate study, ask yourself whether you want to study in a large city, more suburban one, or even in a rural area or smaller city. Student life in a small student town, and studying in a large metropolis such as London or Paris, can be an entirely different experience. Furthermore, if you’re considering studying abroad, it is important to consider which country will suit your needs. We have already written blog posts about why to consider a number of countries, including the UK, Italy, Turkey, China, and Spain, as well as the best cities for students across the world and MBA opportunities in Germany. Location can also affect teaching style, and it is important to keep cultural differences in mind when deciding where you want to undertake graduate study. Reputation/Ranking & Career Advancement Prospects The reputation of a university is significant for a number of reasons. First of all, a well-ranked graduate program will likely be more impressive on your CV, and offer better career prospects. There are a number of international ranking systems which privilege different criteria, such as Forbes, The Financial Times, The Economist,QS MBA Rankings, and The Telegraph. However the higher ranked the university, the more difficult it may be to be acce…
disambiguating description: The decision to undertake graduate study is an important one, and once you have decided to take this step, the next question is – which one!? There are so many graduate study options around the world that deciding where and what to study can be an immense task. Consider why you are interested in a graduate program, and research your options. After you’ve done some initial research, you can narrow it down to the programs and schools that interest you. If you can, attend a university fair to get a feel for a university or program.

Cultural Differences in Academia: Major Points to Keep in Mind While Studying Abroad
type: Article
title: Cultural Differences in Academia: Major Points to Keep in Mind While Studying Abroad
description: Such an experience can prepare a student for their future career, and (more importantly, perhaps) for life. In a globalised world, it is increasingly important that people are able to interact and work comfortably with individuals from all around the world. However, it isn’t always easy! In order to be successful in your studies and to make the most of your time abroad, it will often be necessary to adjust your expectations and behaviour. What is considered normal or expected in your own country may in fact be a bad idea at your host university! The following are a few major points of cultural difference to keep in mind while studying overseas. Language One of the biggest cultural differences that you are likely to encounter - wherever you choose to study abroad - is language. Effective communication is key in academia, and it can be very difficult for an international student to keep up in classes, particularly when the language of instruction is not your first language. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, United States and Australia, class participation is often an important (sometimes mandatory) component of each course, and it is therefore necessary to participate in class discussion. Academic presentation style can be particularly important for international students, who benefit from visual aids such as powerpoint. It can be particularly difficult if you come from a country where the teaching style does not require as much discussion and debate. In Japan, for example, the teaching style often requires less speaking and more written components, so it is important to keep this difference in mind! There are also differences in the way that written work is expected to be done – for example in France, written work is often written in the “thèse, antithèse, synthèse” style, with more rigid rules that must be conformed to (such as not using conjugated verbs in headings). Interaction with faculty members and teaching staff The way that students interact wit…
disambiguating description: In recent years, more and more universities are deliberately seeking out international students and encouraging cross-cultural exchange, whether through direct exchange programs, entire degrees for or including international students, or wider networks such as the Erasmus program in Europe. The benefits of working and studying abroad are numerous – they can lead to improved language skills, salary, a global network of contacts and increased cultural sensitivity.

Finding Funding for a Master’s Program in Spain
type: Article
title: Finding Funding for a Master’s Program in Spain
description: Once you know what level of payment you are expected to pay, you can begin planning how you will secure commensurate funding. Since proof of financial security is required when applying for a visa, it’s a good idea to start securing funding as soon as possible once you make the decision to earn a Master’s degree in Spain. There are a number of different channels one can tap into to secure funding, including grants, scholarships, stipends and loans. In this article, we will offer advice and information about each of these possibilities in relation to earning a Master’s degree in Spain. Grants Many of the grants awarded to foreign students studying in Spain are provided by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. To be eligible for these grants, however, you generally need to already be a legal resident of Spain, meaning that most grants do not allow applicants to apply if they are currently residing outside of Spain. Make sure to look at the stipulations and particularities of each individual grant to be sure you are eligible. The Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and Development, which is part of the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, also provides a wide array of scholarships via MAEC-AECID, an online portal covering a wide array of issues. These grants are generally aimed at graduate students and often require a high level of Spanish language proficiency. The website itself has limited content in languages other than Spanish, so if you are not already familiar with the Spanish language this might not be the right opportunity for you. Certain grants also require that you live in university housing and are no older than 35 at the start of the course. Please check individual grants for specific information. There are also a number of foundations that offer grants to foreign students, including many that specifically target students from Latin America. Many of these grants are provided through the Latin-American Postgraduate Universit…
disambiguating description: Although the range of tuition fees is quite broad in Spain (depending on the program, discipline and university, you may be asked to pay anywhere between a few hundred and many thousands of euros), nearly every Master’s program requires some level of payment. Thus, it is a good idea to carefully look through the admissions pages of each program you’re interested in and be fully aware of tuition requirements before you apply.

Scholarships for Students in Europe: UK, Spain, Italy and France
type: Article
title: Scholarships for Students in Europe: UK, Spain, Italy and France
description: The terms ’grant’ and ’scholarship’ are often used interchangeably. However, grants are usually need-based, involving an assessment of the financial need of a student, while scholarships are merit-based, and may be awarded based on qualities such as academic or athletic ability. Both grants and scholarships do not usually need to be repaid (although there may be repayment consequences associated with the early termination of a program, for example). Applying for a scholarship or grant can be a daunting task, so we have some tips on applying for master’s scholarships here. In contrast, student or private loans must be repaid. Depending upon the country and institution, the terms of repayment can vary. Most government student loans do not need to be repaid until after your studies , and generally have better rates than private loans (from a bank, for example). Often they are paid in a lump sum at the beginning of the year or semester, whereas scholarships and grants are often paid in split instalments. A scholarship or grant can therefore be an amazing funding opportunity for students. Studying abroad is a life-changing, as highlighted in this article on the INOMICS blog, and to receive a scholarship for study is the student dream. The following is a list of some of the scholarships available for study in Europe in the UK, Spain, Italy and France, grouped by country. This is just a selection, so for a more extensive listing visit the Scholarships section at INOMICS. United Kingdom The UK is a popular study destination for students from around the world, particularly those who want to improve their English language skills. In fact, INOMICS has written several advice posts that detail the application requirements for a Master’s degree in the UK, as well as how to apply, and how to fund your Master’s.

Every year, hundreds of expats relocate to Turkey, to work or study in old and new Turkish universities that teach in English. The majority of the most prestigious universities of the country, for instance the Bogazici University, Galatasaray University and Koç University, are located in Istanbul, a city that connects the two continents of Asia and Europe.

Scholarship Options Boost Student Interest in Your Master’s Programs
type: Article
title: Scholarship Options Boost Student Interest in Your Master’s Programs
description: Nowadays, the demand for graduate education is clear, but only a small percentage of interested students are able to access a graduate program due to financial barriers. After researching the problem, we discovered that more than 90% of potential Master’s students feel ready to begin a degree, yet 40% of them face such financial difficulties that they abort their studies and focus on searching for a job. How can university marketers cope with students’ limited resources ? The answer is funding options. Currently we find thousand of programs advertised by universities that do not mention any type of financial help. Since students actively look for such opportunities, programs with explicit funding options are more attractive than programs without any advertised financial aid. Financial help comes in the form of scholarships, grants, prizes, donations and student jobs. From fully covered programs to student assistantships, including information about possible funding options is highly appreciated by students. The graph above shows that scholarships and external funding options are most popular in terms of how students anticipate financing their studies. Not all students can count on family help or their own savings to pay for tuition and living costs. For this reason, offering clear information about scholarships in addition to loans, stipends and working options available at your university is highly valuable for students as they plan the next step in their career path. We invite you to check tips on how to increase the number of applicants to your programs and how reviews can increase the engagement levels of students for your institution. Are you interested in learning more about student trends and preferences? You can contact us at info@inomics.com
disambiguating description: It often happens that potential students show interest in a specific program by visiting the webpage, pre-subscribing for the next semester, or sending enquiries via email, however the number of completed applications is much lower than the number of people interested. We decided to research this issue and discovered the factors potential Master’s students take into account when choosing a university and type of degree. What we found is that the possibility of receiving funding motivates potential applicants and develops added value for students.
