Doctorate Abroad

My name is Meier – Dr. Meier. Despite plagiarism affairs and scandals: A doctorate is something to look at. In some areas, such as science and research, a doctorate is almost a “must” in order to have a career. A doctorate abroad in particular increases your chances of promotion and income. The doctorate is the highest academic degree awarded by universities. A completed doctorate is also a prerequisite for the habilitation. This is not an academic degree. Instead, the qualification…

city Madrid is an impressive city with many sights and places to go out. There is actually something going on from Monday to Sunday, which of course can endanger learning. The city center with its many old buildings is reminiscent of Paris or Vienna. You can also get to know the real traditional Spanish life in Madrid, as there are far fewer international influences here than in Barcelona, ​​for example. So for all night owls, I can only recommend this…

Organization I applied a good 7 months before my stay abroad and I have to say that you need the time. With a passport and visa application, a good 6 weeks can go into the country. A tip for booking a flight: If you book your flights through STA, as a MicroEDU member you get 4% off the flight price. That may not sound like that much, but with a sum in the four-digit range, that makes a difference. Was…

Application process and general organizational matters First of all: yes, all the organizational stuff to organize the semester abroad is an extremely exhausting, sometimes nerve-wracking and incredibly time-consuming mix of towers of documents, numerous phone calls with various institutions and people, mountains of emails and countless errands. But with the longed-for goal of a great semester in Canada, it’s all doable, somehow. And at the end of the day, you’re proud to have managed everything well. So: Always keep the…

Application process The application process at the SMU is relatively simple: You compile a list of the courses that are suitable for you online and email this list with the associated prerequisites to the SMU to check whether you are admitted to the corresponding courses. For me this went relatively smoothly: Of course, it is difficult to assess from Canada what you have learned here in Germany, so in case of doubt you are more likely to be admitted. Then…

The University I chose Kwantlen Polytechnic University because a fellow student had told me about it and I wanted a university with a campus, but for which you could still live in the city center. The KPU was perfect for that. When you apply, you have to specify your preferred courses. It takes a while to find your way around the university’s website and later on the internet portals, but the offer and the possibilities are worth it. The university’s…

APPLICATION AND VISA The application went smoothly. I actually applied relatively late and the application deadline for some universities in the USA had already expired. Still, I still had a good choice. As is well known, to study in America you need a visa. To get this is actually not particularly difficult, at least if you don’t intend to sell drugs there or force women into prostitution (you are asked really seriously when filling out the visa). It is quite…

Arrivals: It is advisable not to get off the plane on the day the summer session begins – one should not underestimate the jet lag. It’s much more comfortable to get used to the climate and time in LA for a day or two. Cheap solutions are, for example, motels (such as Motel6) or various hostels. A taxi from the airport including tip costs around $ 40 – you can also take the bus ($ 0.75, line 6 from the…
