Well,为什么国人不国人(其实是有没有SSE bachelor,或者退一步,本科/硕士是否是这边教学法相似,training认同的学位/学校/项目)有所谓——SSE本硕连读的学生,因为local network etc很多在本科都已经熟悉老师,好些是拿年计算的RA experience(虽然本科似乎是不那么紧要的project),更加是系里熟人熟脸的。。。Fin PhD是沿袭北美的committe制度,不是你未来supervisor一个人拍板,系里的关系如何同样重要(funding,votes,etc etc)。
Fin master我不算特别清楚(但是应该很容易问到),我自己在的项目,一个老师给你上两个月以上的课已经是非常了不起的一件事情,有些真的就是拿星期算的时间。。。要建立跟人家几年相比的network(BTW千万不要低估你的欧洲peers)。。。如果按照正常的deadline,第一年就应该要找到起码一个,最好是两个老师给你强推(加上有三四门solid的theory course/最好有RA),thesis第二年第一学期最好写完(否则writing sample会差一大截),否则不是等一年再申请(瑞典毕业只有六个月签证)就是延长毕业。。。
找(欧洲)工作跟(认真)申请PhD极难兼得,尤其不是学术型硕士的前提下。LZ各种兴趣(尤其research area)都很不定的前提下,focus重要的不行。
所以,尽管我同意在LZ现在的profile很难直接Eco master的前提下Fin起码好过management,还是培养hard skills(empirical methods——那些maths etc,我不是内行,这帖子里有好几个内行,theory building也不可偏废)跟看起来soft其实也hard的英语(尤其读写,虽然听说也很重要,具体的参见PhD admission那段eloquent的描述就是)是当务之急。
OK看在这两段话在Business Administration而不是finance page的前提下我帮LZ搬过来:
If English is not your first language, then evidence of proficiency in its use will be a decisive factor in the application review process since much of your success in our PhD program depends on your ability to master the English language, i.e., understand, read, write, and speak English proficiently, before arrival on the campus. We deliberately emphasize this because the program demands that students conduct a variety of tasks in English, such as writing numerous reports/papers, taking written examinations, and participating actively in classroom and other program discussions.
All applicants must be able to understand rapid, idiomatic English as spoken in lectures and group discussions by individuals of widely varying accents. Students from non-English-speaking countries must be able to communicate quickly and clearly in spoken and written English as well as to read it with ease.
PS,我不知LZ是哪样的applicant,我以前在CD上遇过跟我讲‘我雅思八点五,英语应该毫无问题’的人。我当时只能哑然以对。当然我后来看见T81还觉得T不难的。。。
PPS, LZ,如果你觉得我讲你why academia的reasoning没有很impressive是过分harsh,那也许是真的,因为我没有看见你给我真正matter的evidence——你遇见过的scholars有鼓励你做学术吗?有为你提问题的能力感到惊喜/觉得你outstanding吗?光是觉得(他人的)research给人振奋和喜悦是不够的,要你可以看到你自己成为那样的researcher。
