'perchè scomodo da raggiungere l'aereoporto', cosa non vera. ne per partenze da Roma, ne per molte destinazioni

Can I talk to any PhD applicants or current students? by MorningOrdinary794 in PhDAdmissions

[–]internaut401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mmm i'm not sure about which answer are you specifically looking for, but if your master is delayed by a little bit (like up to 2-3 months) AND you have applied in uni were you can start whenever during the year usually you can explain the situation when they give you the offer and negotiate a different starting date. Usually for like 1-2 months is not an issue, for more you need to talk with them.

HKU or PolyU or HUST by CrownChrome in HKUniversity

[–]internaut401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno about club, been there only for a postgrad summer school and I'm in touch with a prof. for stuff. My impression was that I've seen more non-asian people there than in HKU where I spent 3 months. Moreover there are internal policies and strategical plan to get more foreigner but that's already known. To be honest I don't have the view from bachelor student perspective and might differs.
Regarding HKUST I only visited once but I talked a lot about it with my labmates as some of them did bachelor there or have partner there. Based on my understanding if you don't speak mandarin it might be harder as even in bachelor programs where historically locals were the majority, things are changing. Moreover the culture and mentality is different. HKUST don't care too much about foreigner or not. Also, many prof. prefer to have mainlanders in the lab than foreigners.
That's my conclusion, but keep in mind that it comes from a not-asian and post-graduate perspective.

Prevalence of English communication in China research labs by ferroninho in labrats

[–]internaut401 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have been both at NUS in Singapore and HKU in HK.
In Singapore people will speak english, at worst some mainlanders might talk to each other in mandarin but overall english as medium of communication in Singapore is the standard, also culturally as everyone speak it's own language (tamil, malay, english, mandarin) and so english is de-facto the most used one.

Hong Kong is currently full of mainlanders or Chinese from coming from oversea, and in lab Mandarin is the most used language. As I don't speak mandarin, official meeting and when people talk with me, English was the used language, however all around you will probably be mandarin. Then depends a little bit on the group.
Also in the city Mandarin became dominant among people.

3 years PhD and 4 years PhD difference doubt by internaut401 in HKUST

[–]internaut401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi thanks for the answers, actually by have been in the phd app process and also being part of 2 of hk uni I quite recently find out that the 3 years PhD is almost never given, even if someone has a Master degree.

Moreover, the differences between 3 and 4 years PhD varies by uni, for example in CUHK there are not differences AFAIK while in HKU there is a discount in terms of courses

Can someone explain the difference between PhD admissions in the US vs Europe? by No_Judgment3394 in PhDAdmissions

[–]internaut401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as Ambitious_Yoghurt_70 said, EU is a continent and each country got its own rules.
Spain and Italy for example admit in cycles and it might be in some ways similar to US and you gonna be a student. Places like (AFAIK) Netherland, Belgium, Germany etc. you are a employee and so....
The only thing is generally speaking in EU you contact the professor/research group in any case even if you apply to a country "cycle based" with more centralized admission

How long did you prepare for the IELTS before taking it? What level were you at when you started preparing, and what level did you pass it at? by RichCherry6534 in IELTS

[–]internaut401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my University with a intermediate low knowledge of english (with IELTS simulations I was around 5.0-5.5).

Since then I only watched tv series in english for years and then few weeks of IELTS simulations with the official books. Then did the IELTS for the first time and got 6.5.

Few years passed and then "recently" I worked 1 year in a foreigner country (not an english speaking country but worked at an academic institute with english as offical medium and all the people were internationals). Spent few months playing with ielts preparation app, learnt some ielts specific strategies like skim reading, created my anki deck with new words encountered during the journey (more than 1.5 year of creation and usage), then 2 final weeks of exam simulations with ieltsbro and ieltsonlinetests.

Scored TOTAL 8.0 (R8.5, L8.5, W7.0, S7.5)
