Du học ở UK

Du học ở UK

Có bạn nào muốn biết thông tin về du học ở UK, cũng đơn giản chứ không lằng nhằng . Mình sẵn sàng chia xẻ tất cả thông tin mà mình biết nếu bạn thấy quan tâm .

CHo tớ hỏi nếu tớ đã tốt nghiệp ĐH ở Việt Nam muốn học MBA thì có thể học ở đâu? trường nào ở bên đó .?

Hehe, thấy bạn sickworld hỏi lâu rồi mà chưa có ai trả lời, tớ vào làm vài dòng để kéo cái topic này lên xem có ai ở UK đang học MBA có thể giúp bạn tỷ mỷ hơn không nhé.
Ngành MBA bạn chọn quá phổ biến, hầu như các Uni đều có cả. Thế nên bạn cần cung cấp thêm thông tin cá nhân để mọi người dễ tư vấn cho bạn và limit giới hạn tìm kiếm để bản thân bạn đỡ phải cân nhắc nhiều. Trên thực tế, thành phố mà trường bạn locate sẽ có một ảnh hưởng không nhỏ đến tinh thần học tập và hướng làm việc sau này của bạn, cũng như các kỹ năng ngôn ngữ và giao tiếp khác. Vì vậy, bạn nên có một idea nhất định về preferable cities mà bạn sẽ muốn sang. Không quá rộng như Mỹ nhưng các thành phố của UK cũng có những đặc trưng nổi trội khác hẳn nhau, tiếng Anh ở các vùng cũng có nhiều sự phân biệt. Có một số bạn bè BN đã học ở Cambridge hay Oxford toàn thành phố trứ danh cả nhưng suốt ngày kêu buồn, bản thân BN ở London thì lại thấy là stress quá... Một ví dụ nhỏ như vậy để bạn thấy trong quyết định đi học tính cách và thiên hướng cá nhân của mỗi người quan trọng đến mức nào. Biết rõ bản thân để tìm cho mình một thành phố phù hợp sẽ là một điều không bao giờ bạn phải ân hận. Sau khi đã có quá nhiều thứ ràng buộc với một nơi chuyển đi rất khó dù rằng sống ở đó lifestyle không hợp lắm.
Nhấn mạnh vào điều đó vì một phần ở UK có quá nhiều trường offer MBA, vì vậy bạn là người hoàn toàn tự chủ trong quyết định của mình. Có một tip để giúp bạn tìm được các web sites của các trường offer MBA trong khi chưa có một list cụ thể nào là qua ucas. Mặc dù ucas chỉ để tuyển sinh undergraduate nhưng vẫn hữu dụng. Bạn vào:
www.ucas.ac.uk hay www.ucas.com
courses
course search
subject search
sau đó bấm vào chữ M hay B sẽ ra một loạt các loại management, bạn vào business admistration rồi từ đó link đến một loạt các web sites các trường để xem có chương trình MBA nào phù hợp với bạn không.
Bạn cũng có thể vào svuk.org/forums để post lên hỏi kinh nghiệm những ai đã thực tế học MBA tại UK. Chúc bạn tìm được nhiều thông tin bổ ích.
Cho phép được hỏi một câu nhé: Vì sao bạn lại chọn MBA? Thực sự tớ băn khoăn lắm vì MBA quá phổ biến rồi trong khi có rất nhiều ngành học mới thực sự thú vị và có độ ứng dụng cao hơn, chẳng hạn Project Management hay Contract Management... Hì hì, tớ tò mò lắm ý

Cảm ơn BN nhiều, chúc BN luôn có nhiều niềm vui.
Tớ đang định Apply 1 khoá học quản lý dự án cho một bộ phận viết software trong công ty tớ đang làm, dạng team leader. Tớ cũng đang phân vân không biết nên học ở Anh hay ở Úc. Tớ thích thành phố nào náo nhiệt và có điều kiện chơi bóng đá vì tớ đá tiền đạo hay ghi được bàn lắm

Cám ơn bạn ducmba nhé chủ đề này đúng là những gì tớ rất quan tâm. Tớ rất muốn đăng ký theo khoá học Development Economics (Kinh tế phát triển) trình độ Master nhưng hình như bên UK rất ít trường offer khoá học này Bạn biết trường nào có giới thiệu cho tớ được không, thx nhiều lắm

Mình thấy UK có nhiều trường offer M.A in Development Economics đấy chứ, ví dụ như University of East Anglia, hoặc Uni. of Sus*** đấy.
Bạn thử vào UEA mà xem.

Các bạn cho hỏi Univ. of Sus*** có nổi tiếng bên Anh không? Có nên học postgraduate ở trường này không?
Một tháng chi phí (tiết kiệm) ăn ở tại thành phố, nơi trường này đóng là bao nhiêu? Trường này hình như nằm ở Brighton thi phải. Mong nhận được giải đáp từ các bạn. Xin cám ơn.

M.A in Development Economics mà bạn đang tìm có ở đây nè!
M.A in Development Economics at the University of East Anglia
MA in Development Economics



The study of development in low-income countries is attracting more attention around the world than ever before. International development agencies and academic institutions increasingly recognise that the study of economic development requires an approach that is analytically rigorous and, at the same, problem- and policy-oriented.
Directed and taught by a team of experienced and internationally-respected development economists, this MA provides advanced level training opportunities both to recent graduates and mid-career professionals looking to update their analytical techniques and practical skills, or to acquire new ones.The course emphasises the development of research skills that are essential, not only for further study in the field of development economics, but also in practical development work, preparing students for employment with government ministries, national and international development agencies, NGOs, and the private sector. 
The MA in Development Economics (MADE) received 1+3 recognition in the recent ESRC (Economic & Social Research Council) interim recognition exercise. This means that the MADE meets the formal ESRC requirements for research training in economics at the Master''s level, as spelt out in the ESRC guidelines. It also means that UK and EU applicants to the MADE may apply for funding of PhD research under the 1+3 or the +3 studentship programmes of the ESRC. For further information visit the ESRC web site at: www.esrc.ac.uk/esrccontent/postgradfunding/foindex.asp
Applicants for the MADE programme should have a first degree in either economics or joint economics. All students are expected to attend an introductory course in mathematics and statistics for economists for two weeks in September, before enrolling for this MA. There is no tuition fee for this introductory course and accommodation on campus can be arranged.

Funding Your Course of Study
This information which follows is intended to help you to identify sources of financial support before your course begins.
Please note: the information given below is intended as a general guide - it does not represent an exhaustive list of all available funding. You are encouraged to apply to all sources of funds for which you may be eligible. International students should approach their local British Council, or British High Commission for information on local funding. The level of competition for most of the awards mentioned here is extremely high and candidates are usually assessed on past, and potential academic performance. If you require a grant in order to undertake your studies, your application should be made as early in the year as possible: applications received after MARCH cannot be considered for most scholarships.
The majority of international postgraduate students taking courses in the School of Development Studies are sponsored by their governments, their employers, or an agency such as the British Council.
Most UK and European Union students are self-financing. UK students should investigate Career Development Loans, available from major banks.
There are only a small number of sources relative to the number of students looking for help. You should not begin a new course unless you are confident that you have enough money for its duration, bearing in mind that fees and expenses are likely to increase annually. Although it is increasingly possible for international students to work part-time whilst studying in the UK (currently 20 hours a week for full-time students), you should not rely on funding your studies through vacation or part-time work since your earnings are likely to be low in relation to your expenses.
* - an asterisk denotes grants/awards for which direct personal application by yourself is not required; in these cases the School automatically considers for nomination all students to whom offers have been made.
GENERAL (UK RESIDENTS)
The first port of call should be the Grants Register (McMillan) which can be found in all institutional and many public libraries. It lists a large number of awards and, by way of its comprehensive index, applications can be directed towards awards related to the subject area in which you intend to study. Also consult Educational Charities: a guide to educational trust funds. Watch the press (especially The Guardian, The Independent, The Times and The Times Higher Educational Supplement) for the announcement of various scholarships and awards, especially in March and April. Residents of Northern Ireland should also write to the Department of Education, Rathgael House, Balloo Road, Bangor, Co.Down BT19 2PR. Organisations'' web sites are a good way to update yourself on what is available.
Approach your employer, and any charitable institution/private foundation you know of. Until recently, Local Education Authorities did not support taught courses in Development Studies as they came under the remit of the ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council). However, from 2002 onwards, the ESRC are no longer offering scholarships for taught courses, so it may be worth contacting your LEA to see if they will consider supporting you. The Isle of Man LEA is supporting a student this year.
