After you’ve seen the research profile/interests of a prospective supervisor on the university/department’s webpage or their personal website, always proceed to check them out on research gate (RG)and google scholar(GS) (google search).

RG & GS is where you find their latest works and get an idea of their currently funded research project. You don’t wanna contact them based on what you’ve seen on the university webpage as they might have moved past those research areas into trending ones.

Hence, contacting them based on the research area “A” they did 7 years ago when they have moved into research area “M” will prove to them that you’ve not done your homework. Also, visiting RG and GS will help you spot inactive professors. These set of people might have their

last publication in 2015 and can be linked to many reasons. Just continue your search without time-wasting. Summarily, Visit webpage-Check research interests-Visit their RG/GS-Read recent papers-Find the connection with interests -Craft that cold email-Get that response

P.S: If their personal website is up-to-date., then you can rely on the research information found therein. In some cases, their recent papers would be listed on their personal website or an external link to their RG or GS page would be provided. “So shine your eyes” 👁

The feeling is great when you write these types of letters/responses, especially if you have been hammered with series of “rejection letters” over the years”. @ChinazaArinzec1 can explain that feeling.

I could remember that this master’s program was to take me through 🇫🇷, 🇪🇸, and 🇨🇿 . Dear scholarship enthusiasts, keep putting in those strong applications so you get to enjoy not only one YES, but multiple YESSSS (This can be your target too).😁

And when you get multiple opportunities; (1) Ensure you get all the offers in black & white before writing/signing any letter to decline a scholarship offer. (2) Don’t waste too much time in choosing one offer. Remember, you need to give chance to others on the waiting

A lot of applicants become downcast about not having the research experience required for their grad. school application. However, it baffles me how they’ve quickly forgotten that their bachelor's thesis is a research experience itself. 1/5

Applicants whose research project is thematically related to the graduate program of interest should find it easy to convey their research experience in a strong manner. However, if your thesis isn’t related, worry not! 2/5

Demonstrate that you possess skills such as; design of experiments, writing/communication abilities to compare/contrast/explain results in a clear approach, software/design, oral presentation, and independent/teamwork skills. 3/5

Still on reading of instructions. As you know, Erasmus programs will require mobility (2yrs-4 semester). During the application process and on the website, it might be stated that classes during the Yr 1 (Sem. 1&2) would be taught in English. Then during Year 2(Sem. 3) 1/n

have to follow the classes in Spanish/French/German/EU Lang. I’ve seen people apply to such programs without reading the instructions. Although, the program might give you the opportunity to take language classes in Yr 1 (2hrs/week) in preparation for Yr 2. Do you really 2/n

think taking a 2hrs/week language course is sufficient to follow your classes. Academic language is different from what’s obtainable on the streets. Most scientific terms have an equivalent word I German/French/Spanish. Don’t fall into the hell-hole of thinking you can cope 3/n
