As a famous university in Britain and even the world, the University of Cambridge has always been ranked very high every year. Cambridge has excellent teaching quality, good learning atmosphere and strong scientific research strength. Many undergraduate students want to continue their study here.
So what are the requirements for Cambridge graduate students to apply for admission?
Here is a small series to introduce you.
A, Cambridge university graduate admission condition 1. Degree background requirements: degree obtained a bachelor’s degree, it is best to 211 or 985 university (RecognisedandcompetitiveUniversity), domestic some school graduates also must have a master’s degree to apply for.
2. Undergraduate average score requirements: Domestic students: Above 85-90 in non-academic performance items, above 90-95 in academic performance items: Level 2 A Bachelor with Honors or above.
3. Language requirements: The language requirements of most items are as follows: IELTS total score of 7.5 or above, no less than 7.0 for each item;
The total score of TOEFL is over 100, with no less than 25 points for each test.
If your language score is below the school’s requirement or you do not have a language score at the time of application, you can explain to the graduate admissions office and prepare to attend again.
If no language scores, applications need to sign “no language achievement declaration form” (NocurrentLanguagetestform) if you are admitted, you will be the latest in language at school two months before the start of the request (attend) the Pre – sessional language course was also seen as fit the conditions).
4. Conditional Offer: Cambridge also offers a language programme — the Academic Development and Training Programme for International Students accepts conditional offers.
If the applicant’s final language score is still slightly below the school’s grade requirement, the school will grant the student a language conditional offer.
With language requirement, students can take a 5-week Pre-sessional language course during the summer to meet the language requirement.
The first step of the application process: Before applying, pre-select the course, and check whether you meet the requirements of the school and the individual application requirements of the course, so as to prepare for the next step of online application.
The vast majority of research programs also require students to contact and identify supervisors in advance.
Step 2: Fill in the application form online (you can also use the paper application form, which can be found in the external link below, and the application fee for the paper application is ¡ê100), which includes: personal information, contact information, education background, work experience, referees’ information, etc.
Step 3: ready for the following application materials, scanning upload online, including: undergraduate transcript: + notary in both Chinese and English, as all of the current university transcripts language certificate/graduation transcript reading: + notarial certificate/internship work in both Chinese and English (if any) : + notary honorary certificate in both Chinese and English (if any) :
Personal Statement: to be included in the Application Form Research Proposal: To be included in the Application Form Academic Recommendation letters: 1-2, to be uploaded online to the university by the referee Personal recommendation letters: 1, to be submitted only by students who wish to apply for the Gates Cambridge Scholarship.
The recommendation letter should not be written by one’s relatives or friends, but should be written by teachers of one’s own school or employers/superiors of one’s own unit. Some projects require personal works/papers. Some projects require application fee: ¡ê50 Note:
Only the application materials required by the project to be submitted need to be submitted. The materials that are not required to be submitted are not only meaningless, but may delay the review time of the materials if they are submitted.
All materials must be uploaded within 14 days after the online application is submitted, otherwise the application will be annulled. Step 4: Interview: Most programs do not require an interview, but some programs may still invite applicants to participate.
For most programs, getting an interview basically means the application is successful.
Step 5: Track the application process and decide what action to take.
It takes only 21 days for a lecture-based school to deliver results;
For research projects, applicants are contacted in five days.
Since its founding, the University of Cambridge has produced numerous masters in various fields, including poet Byron and philosopher Bertrand Russell.
Over the past century, the university has won 89 Nobel Prizes, 76 of which have been in the sciences of physics, chemistry, biology or medicine.
Such an environment of great masters is very attractive to young people interested in pursuing scientific research.
Because if you want to talk to world-class masters, they’re not thousands of miles away, they’re in a nearby lab.
Mr Hawking cancelled a face-to-face interview he had promised reporters because he was unwell, but said in an email sent by an assistant that he came to Cambridge after his undergraduate studies to study astronomy for a PhD. “Cambridge is home to Fred Hoyle, the most famous astronomer in England at the time,” he said.
It can be seen that the master himself is the magnet of talent, and Cambridge has formed a virtuous circle in talent resources.
2. Free and Pleasant Environment for Scientific Research and Education Shi Yongjiang, director of research at Cambridge University’s International Manufacturing Centre, knows all too well that Chinese scholars have come to Cambridge from China.
He said there was little interference in doing research at Cambridge, and in principle what fields could be studied and what academic conferences could be held.
On the other hand, Cambridge also has an educational environment that allows young people to develop into scientists.
Chang Feifan, president of Cambridge Chinese Academic Association, said there are many advantages to studying in Cambridge, two of which are related to people.
First, it can easily communicate with the masters, as Newton famously said “standing on the shoulders of giants”.
Another benefit comes from the free interaction between students.
Cambridge attracts talented students from all over the world.
The spark of knowledge generated by the active interaction of students from different backgrounds around the world can be just as effective as lab or classroom learning.
3. Science and Technology people-oriented In Cambridge, “science and technology people-oriented” in addition to the scientific research itself, this phrase has a higher level of interpretation, that is to use scientific research results to give back to society.
In recent decades, researchers from Cambridge University have established more than 1,000 scientific and technological enterprises in Cambridge, which have not only increased social wealth but also provided a large number of job opportunities.
Cambridge has set itself a mission to “contribute to society”.
The school promotes this spirit to students and researchers.
If there are achievements, society should benefit from them.
Of course, if they end up being financially rewarded, so much the better.
Cambridge Science Park was founded in the 1970s by Trinity College, Cambridge University, and is the earliest science park in the UK.
Currently, more than 100 companies and 5,000 employees work here, making it the most famous technology park in the UK.
Rory Landman, director of science parks at Trinity College, said there are many people who want to learn from the success of science parks, but they often focus on the park itself or its infrastructure. In fact, the most important factor is the people, the interaction between researchers and the business community.
Looking back at every aspect of Cambridge University, this spirit of putting people first is everywhere.
Perhaps this is how this “cradle of scientists” will survive.
