These are just a few ideas:

1) Were I to invite you to come over to *** as a Visiting Research Fellow, for say, six months, would you be able to support the
cost of the flights and living expenses etc. Would you also be able to enter the UK? As a Visiting Research Fellow I would be
able to provide you with access to a desk and facilities. However, you will not be registered for a degree. During this time you
can start your research and start to write the paper with a view to improving your chances for the ORS application.

2) With respect to the MPhil degree, if you obtained it from *** it would give you a work permit to stay in Scotland to work for (I
believe) 2 years. This scheme is only available to Scottish Universities. Thus, if you obtained an MPhil you would be able to find a job and finance the rest of your studies and repay any money to your parents. The job market for *** is very strong in
Scotland and there would be no problem of you finding employment.

3) You could try to get a scholarship to do a masters degree from the university. Following a Masters Degree you would be able to complete a PhD in 2 years.

Let me know if any of these suggestions appeals.


麻烦大家看看啊,这个教授是什么意思啊?Visiting Research Fellow又是什么?谢谢!

Visiting Research Fellow就是一个工作性质的，你现在没有申请到奖学金，他为了给你签证，发你Visiting Research Fellow，这个教授好人，我为什么没有遇上啊

真的么?但是好多人说和我说这个不要钱的劳动力,工作还是全自费的.

还有就是,到时候要是没什么成果的话,我什么也得不到,学位没有,钱也花了,时间也浪费了.

你怎么看?

就是过去做免费劳动力嘛。这经验算是不错，无论如何CV上增色一笔~当然具体能多大作用就不知道了。。。

可签证那边，一般的这种visiting应该都有单位（不管是自己的还是对方的）报销的吧。。。你这么自费过去，不知道VO会不会觉得你有移民倾向。

首先谢谢Tstraying版主的热心解答.

这个只是6个月,到时候完后难道可以直接在那边找工作?

还有就是,版主觉得这个值得去么?要是我要去的话,我就得放弃新加坡南洋理工或者是cardiff的土木的AD了.

版主觉得这个值得么?这个学校是strathclyde

还有就是,我算了下,半年花费大约6万RMB,在scotland差不多吧?

做完以后如果转学生签就签了，要不然只能回国啊。没有degree是不可能给你找工作的那两年的签证的。

值不值得看你自己怎么衡量了，好处是过去以后，如果教授觉得你不错，一定会尽力帮你申请，就算不成，和教授关系好也能有一封不错的推荐信，还有CV，还有海外研究经验。如果不去，别的选择呢？新加坡有钱么？

我是学土木的，现在手里拿到了几个AD，如下：

UK的Cardiff Msc in civil engineering(1500磅的火锅奖)

UK的Cardiff MPhil/PHD in civil engineering（教授已经明确说了没奖）

NTU（新加坡南洋理工）Msc in civil engineering是自费（但是教授口头说要是第一学期表现好的话，二的学期可以进他实验室按小时打工给奖，然后可以转PHD）

还有就是这个strathclyde.

版主觉得怎么选择比较好啊?谢谢

土木的话，好像是cardiff特别好。。。不过MSc的话，除非成绩特别好+刚好碰上老板。。。否则还不如做6个月Project。。。不知道了~等金蕉来看看~

我觉得还不错，如果节省一点，每月300磅预算，半年就是 300*6*14=2.52 W ，其他乱七八糟的总共肯定不过5w，如果楼主家境可以的话，可以考虑。在CV上很闪光的地方，况且在UK以后申请PHD很有优势的，机会比国内多。
