Study Plan

Dear Visa Officer:

It’s my great honour that I’ve been admitted to the University of Toronto in the program of Social Science as a transfer student. (Although the offer letter didn’t mention the specific major, an email that sent from U of T later made sure of the program. The copy version of the email is enclosed with the Study Plan.) The program will begin on September 13th, 2010. And U of T marked me as “year:3” student.

A brief introduction of my background and my choice of sociology

My name is Yingchu Mao, born on June 1st, 1989, in Hangzhou, China. Currently, I am a sophomore of Wuhan University，majoring in Editing and Publishing Science. Last semester, I’ve got a chance to attend the AIESEC (one of the largest students’ organization around the world) Youth Leadership Conference in Wuhan. The conference focused on Non-governmental Organization topic with several excellent speeches made by Julie, Wei Zhang and Cong Du who worked in Wall Street for more than 10 years before he quitted and devoted himself to NGO-the Chiheng Foundation have left me a deep impression and arouse my intense interest on NGO.

What’s more, I happened to have applied for an internship in Xiaoshan Nanshi Community Center last summer vacation. And I found out that successfully running a NGO is everything but simple. You should be well equipped with a strong knowledge background in social science. I feel I’ve got that passion to study this issue. Meanwhile, I was attending a sociology-related course which I found social science a magical field using a variety of unique methods and skills exploring individual and collective ways of thinking, feeling and acting.

Since going abroad to study the advanced knowledge is what I always have in mind, I started to browse some famous universities’ websites and finally made a decision to abandon the major I’m not interested and to transfer to Canada given Chinese social science is still in the beginning stage and many theories are introduced from western countries.

My Choice of University of Toronto in Canada

First, Canada is a peaceful, beautiful and harmonious country which means two things to me. First it means that the country can provide the international students the high-quality education at lower expenses relative to UK and US. And second, those features just well show the sociology theories are closely combined with the practice within this country. Besides, Canada’s social science is covering more and more topics and the level of specialization is high, which indicates the highly development of the discipline.

签证

Second, University of Toronto is ranked one of the world’s best universities with a long history. UT was established in 1827, one of the oldest universities around North America. The richness embedded in its history nurtures the ground for studying humanities disciplines. Matter of fact, UT has a strong academic background of those social science subjects. And UT’s Sociology classes discussed a wide range of social issues which fit my interest a lot and will be quite useful in NGO operation.

Plans to achieve my academic goal

First, because I applied as a transfer student, I must try my best to catch up with the regular students there. So I keep practicing English every day, trying to read some original novels and monographs. Only in this way can I conquer the language barrier as soon as possible when I start my study in UT.

Then although I’m a transfer student who can receive transfer credits to reduce the length of completing the program, I know my current major is not similar with sociology, so that means I have to work harder and take some first and second level courses to make up the missing credits. If possible I will make use of the summer vacation to take some courses.

Simultaneously, I know that the practice related with the program will include some field research. I wish that I can catch the chance to visit some NGOs in Canada, and write some reports about their operation patterns in order to learn the advanced modes.

Career opportunity in China

Upon my graduation in U of T, I plan to return to China for the following reasons:

Firstly, my training in sociology will provide skills for jobs in many fields in China, including government, politics, industry, education, journalism and so on. So there are many job opportunities lying ahead of me. But I am particularly interested in working at NGOs. There are more and more NGOs established in China, such as Chiheng, Narada, Greenpeace(China) and Action Aid(China). However they just need some more advanced ideas and talents to support the institution. With a degree from world-famous university and my skill in thinking and research that I’ve been taught when I study in UT, I am confident that I can find a place in Chinese NGO that fit me the best.

Secondly, sociology is about the way of thinking and acting which is penetrated into the local culture. I was born and living here, so it will be more confident and comfortable for me to apply the theory to Chinese conditions than any other countries.

签证

Last but not the least, I wish to go back to my hometown Hangzhou, which is a metropolitan city with many great job opportunities and a very beautiful and comfortable city for living. Besides I love my parents very much. For I am the only child of them, I wish to go back and take good care of them.

Yours sincerely,

有关学习计划！！

感觉这个相当相当滴重要~~感觉VO拒你滴什么学习能力~~移民倾向这些原因，很大程度上

需要你SP来打消人家滴怀疑~~~！！！！即使你找中介~~也要自己搞定SP

呵呵 把偶自己滴SP贴出来讨论一下。。。。。专家高手无视就好

Study Plan

Dear visa officer：.

My name is ***, female, born on 27th of Feb ** in Qingdao, Shandong province, China. I received my admission to Qingdao University in 2007, majoring in English.. After much

calculation, I believe that studying abroad to broaden my horizon is a better choice for me.

Therefore, I’m applying a further study in Canada. In this case, I can not only improve my English, but also have a more challenging and promising major that I’m interested in ---Accounting and

Finance.（第一段主要是把自己滴情况主要表述了一下，以及这个出国打算）

In my view, Canada has a more peaceful and harmonious environment for studying and it is rich in educational resources comparing to other countries.（加拿大方面滴优秀之处一笔带过） The reason that I choose Seneca is for its true knowledge learning and real experience gaining. Unlike

Chinese universities or colleges, Seneca offers co-operative education programs that allow students to gain real work experience and apply what they have learned in the workplace. A more attractive factor is Seneca offers many different opportunities for students’ success. Students are able to transfer credits from some of its diploma programs to its degree programs, and Seneca has transfer agreements with educational institutions across Canada and even around the globe. （介绍

签证

seneca，说实在，偶真不知道怎么说，然后就到它滴网站上看人家怎么说滴，然后自己再写滴。感觉要写优点。更要写对你有用滴优点，因为我在下面提出seneca只是一个桥梁，过渡期后会再转学滴。所以说了seneca滴转学校方面。说了这个学校实践性比较强，是国内大学不可比滴。。这样才体现了放弃原有大学去学个这个college滴必要性么。。。）Thus, with those opportunities, I am sure I will at a higher level after I complete my study in Canada.

The program of Accounting and Finance offered by Seneca College attracts me just like a bridge to a higher education. In this program, many important subjects are provided, such as Accounting

Basics,Business Statistics,Mathematics of Finance,Organizational Behaviour, Co-op Professional Theory, and Quantitative Approaches to Decision Making etc. As far as I’m concerned, those subject regarding accounting and finance are quite necessary to me. I can get a better understanding on accounting knowledge and get closer to a true accountant through them. Moreover, I’m quite interested in the Organizational Behaviour and Quantitative Approaches to Decision Making which can give me a chance to be wiser and of great executive ability. （你必须说清楚你将要学习的专业，大家最好说一下自己的课程，其中具体课程的名字，例如第一学期有些什么重要的课程，第二学期有什么，你感兴趣的，等等，必须写清楚，这样签证官就会觉得你很认真，是过去学习的！！！！课程你自己从学校网站上找，都

找得到。）

What I have planned is that after a period of adaptive phase, I will go to a university for a degree and then one-year’s master. matter what, I want to pass CA (chartered accountant) exam during my study in Canada, and then back to China to apply myself into accounting and finance.（提到自己滴目标和打算，让人家感觉你是个很有计划有目标滴好孩子！！而且说了自己会回国）

My parents have sufficient money to supply me to study abroad and steady income. They are definitely willing and able to afford my education.（小提一下父母提供了资金~~） In fact, I’m an easily homesick girl. What’s more, I always put my family, my parents first. From the date of my birth, my parents spare most of their love, time and money on me. I’m so grateful for having such parents. However, my parents are not young and healthy as before any more. Going back to China and take good care of them after finishing my study is my responsibility.（说出父母滴原因~~~偶

必须回国） In additional, China’s governmental policy is more attractive to me. The government values the returned students more and more highly. With the development of China, large amounts of qualified people are in great demand. Accordingly, there are sufficient job

opportunities for returned students, and suitable conditions supplied for their personal and professional development. I believe that if I go back to China, I will have a brighter employment

prospect. （说出外部条件，偶回国会很好~~~）

签证

应该说，偶滴SP也改了很多遍。。。一开始滴时候有将近两页捏。。。而且还弄了outline，写滴相当详细。。。后来经过不少人指点~~尤其一个在多college念硕士文凭滴哥哥给了最大滴帮助~~~他就是自己DIY~~而且只是个college~人家20多天就来体检表了。。。唉~~~其实偶米寄掉体检表滴话，也差不多挺快滴。。。

一些小建议

1，出去念书，以及去这个学校念书，要说出你自己滴意愿！！你自己滴原因。。千万别说你父母希望你出去。。你父母感觉怎么样。。。而且我觉滴，说自己从小梦想出国也挺牵强。。。 2，SP一定要拒绝模板~~~每个人滴情况各有不同！！而且你需要SP去体现你自己滴想法~~

坚决不要雷同！！雷同卷万一碰上了那就是咔嚓了~~

3，SP不是要求你写作文~~华丽滴句子，优美滴词藻~~这些都不是必须滴。花里胡哨滴。。。

大汗捏

你只要说得明白，讲得清楚，说得让人信服~~那就是王道！！！

4，SP最好是一页纸，不要多了，但也不能少，400词左右。。。偶写滴就有点多，，，虽

然也是一页但是500多字了。。。

关于签证时的Study Plan问题 (包含4个Study Plan

范例)

寄托天下 2007年03月26日 我要说两句

近来签证时不断有VO问及Study Plan,我收集了一些类似的,仅供大家参考.美国签证, 这是沈阳领事馆网页上个人简历中对学习计划的要求！

学习计划 :

简洁并详细地描述有关计划学习的领域，包括研究方法，和研究的应用范围。

说明主管教授的名字和他/她的专业领域

说明即将进行此项研究的学院名称和系部名称

在申请留学及签证的过程中，经常会被要求写学习计划书（study plan）,本文作者长期从事留学文书写作，因此结合自己的工作经验，介绍一下学习计划书的写作。

一般来说学习计划书可以按照提交目的分成两类，给大使馆申请签证用的，或是给学校申请录取用的。用来申请学校的学习计划从本质上讲和个人陈述是同一类型的文书，关于学校申请类的学习计划书可以参考个人陈述方面的文章，本文主要介绍提交大使馆签证用的学习计划书。

欧美国家，特别是移民国家，如法国，澳大利亚，新西兰，加拿大等国针对留学生签证的时候往往要求提供学习计划书，通过学习计划书使签证官了解您的背景，选择留学专业的动机条件，选择该国留学的理由，和清晰的未来留学时间安排，职业目标和回国理由，配合审核您的其它材料决定是否给您发放留学签证，因此学习计划书是一份很关键的文件。

签证

总的来说，学习计划书需要包括以下几方面内容。

1、 简单说明自己的学习经历，专业背景及工作经历；

2、 说明自己进一步求学的动机及为什么选择该国、该大学与该专业；

3、 详细的留学时间安排；

4、介绍留学所需资金及来源；

5、 对未来职业目标的阐述，留学后回国的理由。

学习计划书的行文风格和文章结构与个人陈述有很大不同，不需要太多个性化和感性的描述，而应该是结构清晰简单，逻辑严密，阐述的事实明确，相关论据有力可信，学成回国的理由要非常充分，并且绝对不能和申请人的其他材料发生矛盾。

由于使馆的工作人员每天要处理大量的文件，因此学习计划书切不可写的太长，一般不应超过800字，并且说明一个问题最好只用一个段落，段落前加上标题，如 My Choice of University of Toronto in Canada ,My career objective 等，以便使馆的工作人员对您一段内容的中心思想一目了然。您的阐述应该非常清晰易读，不能希望让使馆的工作人员从您的文字中“挖掘”您“潜在”内容。

学习计划书的重点部分是未来的职业计划和留学后回国的理由，通过这一部分来告诉大使馆您到该国留学后，确实能够对您的职业发展有良好的帮助，并且有可信有力的理由学成归国。虽然要求学习计划书的国家往往是移民国家，但是由于您申请签证的理由是留学，因此通过学习计划书一定要消除您任何移民倾向。回国理由要结合您个人的背景经历和家庭情况给出很合理的解释，如一位拥有多年商业经历的经理获得去新西兰读商业管理硕士课程的机会，那么阐明他的职业目标是回到中国成为一名跨国公司的高级经理人，而他在中国多年积累的客户资源和社交圈是一笔非常宝贵的财富，这就是非常强硬并合理的一条回国理由。特别需要注意的是，学习计划书中关于回国理由等涉及事实论据的地方，不能任意编造。

最后需要强调的是，由于学习计划书在表达上要求非常有条理，逻辑严密，简洁有力，这是大多数中国申请人所难以达到的，由于语法错误和逻辑关系的失误往往会导致理解的偏差。因此请专门的机构由外籍专家进行语言上的修改是避免上述弊端的好办法。

注：应网友要求，特附一篇英文版的学习计划书

学习计划书样文

Introduction of my background :

My training was in the area of Chinese Education in XXX University for

Nationalities. The education I received there trained my basic abilities of learning and made me capable of independent working. Because of my interest,and curiosity in the new field of Marketing,I participated in the business directly related with market after my graduation from university.

My first job was Manager Assistant in XXX Supermarket. I learned a lot of experience from manager and co-workers, which added to my talent and efforts made me very successful in daily work. For example, I made our supermarket the "Supermarket without fake commodities" and instituted rigid regulations for supplier selection.

签证

Moreover, I bought large amount of goods with cash and quickly sold them at low price, which accelerated the turnover of money and increased our bargain power to suppliers. In 1996, I was promoted to be the Operation Executive. I audaciously built up three chain supermarkets in Shenzhen and established strong competitive advantages among our industry.

In 1998,I joined the Shenzhen XXX Electronic Co.Ltd.-whose main business is the sales of single chip and relevant software. I suggested the company enter the market of single chip's emluator which contained more technology and had more profit vacuum. I also enhanced the technology development and after-sales service; held technology lectures focused on potential clients and published technical

introductory articles. Within only 2 years our emluator business became a well-known brand in our industry and became our company's core business and main resource of profit.

Why choose to study in××and Throughout my past experience, however, I realized that I need more than my talent and successful records to achieve my higher goals, especially as China joined the WTO and plays an active role in the global economy. An advanced education in marketing in a western country is necessary for me to have an international perspective of marketing and gain valuable knowledge of marketing theories and practices. The advanced Education system in ××can provide high quality graduated program for me , the reasonable tuition and high standard living condition also attracted me deeply . The University of××is one of eight University which authorized by the government of China , all these are reasons for me to determine to go to××, a country which has the highly developed business system and first-class education quality, for my further education.

Study plan :

I plan to study for the Mater Degree of Marketing in the University of xxx which last for two years. Because I believe my condition and qualification are suitable for the courses requirements. Matriculated in The University of XXX smoothly has proved the university also believes in my ability of completing my study without difficulties. Moreover, all of my accomplishments in the field of marketing within 10 year would be my good preparation for my further study. I am very confident that my experience would help me succeed in my post-graduate study. To study marketing needs solid English foundation. Although I have been keeping learning English these years and already have a very good English foundation, I still reckon that my English will be improved if I pay much attention to learn it in an English speaking country. Therefore, I prepare to complete half a year's English courses before my study of master courses and take IELTS in New Zealand as well.

签证

When I received my master degree, I will get systematic Marketing knowledge and understanding of the running of business in New Zealand, a developed Western country .

My 10 year's saving which is *****RMB in *******Bank, my real estate which worth ****RMB (estimated my ******Bank) and my stock which worth ******* RMB (calculated in present market price) in stock market would be my firm foundation of studying in New Zealand. The study fee in ***university is ****** and the living cost is *****. Therefore, my financial status is sufficient to afford my study and living cost in New Zealand.

Career objective

As soon as I finish my master degree in Marketing, I'd like to return back to China directly. First, it simply because I love my motherland very much and I believe my further education in New Zealand could help me to make greater contributions to the people and economy that I have a passion for.

The second reason is I feel lucky that I live in an era when China is undergoing rapid economic and political reforms. I witnessed with my own eyes its transition from a society of monotony and low productivity to one that is much more open, prosperous, and full of momentum for growth. As a result this transition has created plenty of opportunities in Chinese economy.

Since I have always dreamed of being a successful international marketer in China, I would like to utilize the knowledge that I will acquire in New Zealand and abundant experience accumulated in China's domestic market to extend my own career as an international marketer who concerns the marketing in global scale.

More than ten year's domestic experience is extremely valuable for a successful marketer. However, in New Zealand-a country which has a totally different language and culture, there is few advantage for me, so coming back to China after learning is my best choice.

Finally, nearly all of my public relationship is based in China. During my ten year's work, I have already accumulated plenty of clients and relationship; those are very important foundation not only for my career but also for my daily life. I would never give them up. Furthermore my former company-Shenzhen XXX Electronic Co., Ltd. agreed with my decision of studying in New Zealand and they will keep my position and welfare while I am in New Zealand and look forward to my return. I would never like to miss this opportunity

I knew the information about ST.ANDREW'S CAMBRIDGE in Beijing International Education Fair. The flexible and variable course arrangement, vivid and vigorous class teaching, the teacher team with excellent performance and the 100% high proportion of students entering universities of a higher grade attracted me, I thought it is a college fit for me. Consulted with my parents, I decided to apply for study to this college. At present, I have received the documents, including the enrollment letter and expenses table etc. from this college.

My study plan in England is as follows: I prepare to study in England for six years, from September 2000 to August 2006.First, I will study English course in SELECT ENGLISH of ST.ANDREW CAMBRIDGE with the period from September 2000 to August 2001.

Because I have the basis of studying English in China for four years, after the study in England for one year, I believe I will master English language proficiently to meet my own requirements of studying and living in England. The expenses of one year

are about ￡14000.

Then I will study A-level course for two years with the period from September 2001 to August 2003. The course is full-time with 20 class hours each week. I plan to study business programme, including accounting, business studies, economics, computer science and single subject mathematics etc. Annual expenses of studying in England are about ￡15000.According to the educational system of England, three courses in all the courses will be selected as the check-up condition when applying for study in the University, and I will make efforts to make my every course reach

A level.If I can obtain good results in the study of A-level courses, I will select the university that is fit for me to continue my study according to my results. I will continue to study the business programme. There are a large number of universities in England, I believe I can find an ideal university. I will get bachelorship after the study in the university for three years.After I get bachelorship certificate, I prepare to come back to China for development. The speedily developed economy of China creates innumerable challenges and

opportunities. But the opportunity especially favors the person with preparation. The six-year study in England will give me the capital for accepting challenges, and make me own the condition of becoming an international business talent with high performance. What I will get is not only a business bachelorship, what's more important is that long-term business

education makes me learn modern enterprise management way and commercial running mode, which is beneficial for future enterprise management. Because mastering English proficiently and having personal experience to European cultural background,

签证

I will deal with international contact with skill and ease by myself. After I obtain such superiority, I prepare to come back to China for helping my mother manage the family enterprise established by her, and enter into the high management level of the enterprise. Opening China welcomes international talents very much. Studying in England will help me to realize the life's leap.（签名）18 June 2000

Study Plan 4

(Submitted for Visa Application)

The present study plan is based on much serious thinking that I have been carrying on recently and I believe only a well-considered study plan is likely to provide me with effective guidelines for my future studies in Canada and for my subsequent career development in China.

1. Why do you wish to come to Canada to study at the school and in the program for which you have been accepted?

Having developed the necessary theoretical buildup and research skills through my undergraduate program in life science, I consider myself qualified for a

challenging graduate program at Canada’s University of x x x . I choose this school for a number of reasons. I believe that the best way to learn is to learn from the best and University of x x x is a world famous institution of a 200-year history, whose 6 professors and alumni have become Nobel laureates. Its unparalleled academic strength is evidenced by its large number of internationally renowned scholars and outstanding graduates, and the research achievements it has made. With its rich cultural diversity and pluralistic value orientations, it is uniquely hospital to international students from over 140 countries. I want to study life science there because the university is particularly strong in this program, with advanced facilities, abundant research funds, and outstanding researchers. The sheer bulk of research papers published in the world’s first-rate journals by life scientists

签证

there testifies to its leading role in the academic community in Canada and even in the world. My potential advisor Prof. x x x, a distinguished scientist in cellular and developmental biology, has been performing some very pioneering research, part of which closely corresponds to the research I have been doing. I have read his voluminous publications and wish to enter his laboratory. He will provide me with full financial support during my study and research there.

2. What is your overall educational goal?

During the future two years, under the guidance of Prof. x x x, I wish to complete my Master’s program successfully, obtaining my Master’s diploma / degree. Through this program, I expect to be instructed in advanced research techniques and

methodologies in cellular and developmental biology, expose myself to the latest developments in the international academia, and develop my capacity for independent research. In this way, I will have a solid foundation for becoming a successful biological researcher who can undertake high-level research upon completing my program and returning to China.

3. Why you are not pursuing less expensive alternatives in China (what are those alternatives and have you investigated them?)

It is true that less expensive graduate education is also available in China. I have visited most of the leading institutions (like Chinese Academy of Sciences) and universities in Beijing, including my alma mater. Laboratories enjoy greater input of state research funds and better facilities in recent years. However, the level of research as a whole remains relatively low. The limited number of facilities has prevented graduate students from remarkably enhancing their hands-on abilities and realizing their research objectives. In China, the latest information of biological research in the international academia is more difficult to acquire while academic exchanges are insufficient. The greatest fault I find is that an advisor usually supervises about a dozen of graduate students, allowing for little

advisor-student interactivity. Those adverse factors are deeply rooted in China’s educational system and are unlikely to be solved within a short time. Finally, all the accomplished biologists in China have invariably been trained in the west. I want follow their footsteps and I believe that Canadian graduate education is more expensive for good reasons.

4. What ties do you have to China that will lead you to return to China following your course of study?

With the increasing emphasis on biological research by the Chinese government, all the research achievements made by Chinese biological scientists are highly respected. Such a favorable environment on the government’s policy level guarantees that returnees from the west will be accorded the best conditions for their personal

签证

and professional development. Specifically, several ties will lead me to return to China following my course of study. First I can enter the Institute of Cell Biology of Beijing Normal University where I completed my undergraduate thesis to work as research. During the second half of my undergraduate program and over the past one year since my graduation, I have been working as research assistant in the project team Genetic Expression and its Effect on the Cell Cycle sponsored by the State Natural Science Foundation and the team director has also promised me a research position there. Beyond that, I can apply for job positions at many research

institutes in Beijing and at so many multinational corporations based in China, which are engaged in biological-pharmaceutical research and development. The job opportunities are virtually limitless.

5. How will this Canadian diploma/degree increase your chances in the Chinese labor market?

China’s burgeoning development in biology is accompanied by a woeful lack of internationally trained talents. As biology is a rapidly developing discipline, information of the cutting-edge developments and the ability to operate the state-of-art research facilities are paramount for China to keep up with the international standards. Obtaining the Canadian diploma /degree means my acquiring stronger research abilities, greater English proficiency, broader international perspectives, those qualities for becoming a well-trained biological scientists that are less accessible to graduate students undertaking their programs in China. Chinese government attracts western educated graduate students by offering special preferential policies like generous research funds and excellent research

conditions. Moreover, they are also readily employed by multinational companies based in China. They become the most sought-after people in the Chinese labor market by Chinese and international enterprises, research centers, and academic

institutions. This is because it has long been proved that graduates with western educational backgrounds are almost always the most fruitful.

Study Plan for Visa Application

My study plan is to pursue a Ph.D. at the x x x University in Canada concentrating on the discipline of robotics. This is a natural progression for me, because I already possess a BA and an MA both related to control, computer science and robotics research. Further evidence of my consistent commitment to and expertise in my chosen field is my position as a Research Assistant for the xxx Mobile Robots (THMR) Laboratory. Now, after dedicating eight years towards fulfilling my objective of becoming a fully-fledged authority on robotics, I feel well prepared for a doctoral program on the topic. Xxx University offers me the best possible opportunities to acquire leading edge knowledge and later contribute to robotics advancements in China.

签证

Why come to Canada to study in Robotics at x x x University?

I selected Xxx University because its research focus, facilities and professors are absolutely ideal to help me meet my precise goals. My choice was made after comparing and contrasting carefully several different engineering schools. While many universities conduct investigations into robotic theories, this institution’s Faculty of Engineering’s specialist trait is research into robots used in industry. Not only will I be acquiring practical knowledge in my specific field, I will also be gaining expertise that is in great demand by industrial sectors in China. Additionally, I am attracted to the fact that the Faculty of Engineering holds strong ties with industrial organizations including the C-CORE. The Faculty partners provide substantial funding, advanced facilities and suitable test environments for research into robots. Furthermore, the PhD supervisors are C-CORE Chairs in intelligent systems, which indicates that experts with extensive and pioneering knowledge will appropriately guide my research and use me for excellent projects. I also chose these professors because not only will I be expected to study my particular area, I additionally must acquire a broad education regarding the theory and application of many kinds of robots. Therefore, as I learn widely about ground robots, underground robots and group robots, I will be supervised capably on my area of infrastructure-free mobile robots.

Why not pursue less expensive alternatives in China?

Of course, to obtain a PhD in China was my first preference because it is my home. I therefore considered applying for the doctoral program at x x x University in China, especially as I have worked there and it is the leading university in China regarding this subject. However, while China is cheaper than Canada, the issue of cost did not determine my choice of university. Due to my knowledge and skills, the x x x University in Canada is offering me the necessary financial assistance to fully cover tuition and living expenses. Most important for me was the right research environment. Sadly, China is not the best option presently. I know from first hand experience that while x x x University has the broadest robots research in China, it mainly focuses on ground level single robots and I already have considerable knowledge of this area. Plus there is the key fact that most of the leading robot professionals in China were trained in the west. They left China because western countries still hold the finest technology and preeminent teaching. Like them, I wish to benefit from a North American education and put it to good use upon my return to China.

What is my overall educational objective?

My overall educational objective is to use the PhD as a vehicle to become a world-class specialist in robotics, especially underground robots. Exposure now to

签证

cutting edge technological breakthroughs and participation in advanced projects would prepare me for a brilliant long-term career in China. I will furthermore use my education to help China integrate itself with the global academic environment, because I will present papers at seminars and international conferences.

How will this Canadian degree increase my chances in the Chinese labor market? My prospects in the Chinese labor market would be extraordinary after

acquisition of a PhD in robotics. Robots are vital technological tools for Chinese industries and manufacturing, which must upgrade their automation features to keep pace with international standards. To give one example, China is investing billions in city subways, and underground robots inevitably will play an important role in their construction. Because China’s requirements for robot experts greatly exceeds the number of talented professionals, those in possession of the information on the latest international developments and skills applicable to handle projects at the most challenging level will be in great demand. Furthermore, aside from hands-on knowledge, what I would offer an employer was evidence that I had acquired new concepts, a fresh mindset, the ability to conduct senior level independent research and a broad international perspective. My competitors – PhD holders from Chinese universities - would be able to make less impressive claims in these areas. Additionally, the Chinese government encourages returnees with preferential

policies, such as ample funds for research and favorable conditions for establishing businesses. I can state with confidence that the Canadian degree would open doors for me – to construction enterprises, research institutions and multinational companies. In China, they all would view me as a precious potential member of their personnel. A PhD holder from a western country is seen as having a positive impact to play in the development of a domestic organization, not just in their specific job but also their approach to work. PhD holding returnees are valued as being cooperative team workers, forward thinking and highly proactive when faced with challenges.

What ties do I have to China that will lead me to return to China following my course of study?

I hold plans regarding how I aim to use my degree in the long-term when I return to China, and have already secured backing from family and colleagues to facilitate their realization. Those plans include using my research findings to establish my own robotics high technology company, with the help of my father and a professor at x x x University. My father is an official with extensive connections, and he is in a position to provide his full support in R & D financing and market development. Through him, I can navigate my way through red tape and meet the people with the knowledge regarding potential business. With regard to the professor, he is my former

advisor and my current employer, so we know each other well and have a proven fruitful relationship. He has a track record of completing many successful projects for Chinese enterprises, such as the x x x Construction Machinery Group and the x x x Group, and maintains close ties with them, so the likelihood is our reputation will bring good clients. Alternatively, I will return to x x x University after my degree in Canada, because my ties to this top university are strong. My advisor has said I would be welcome to return, and my target would be to set up a new robot research center at the university. This is entirely feasible due to my contacts. With my advisor’s support, the center would attract research funds from leading organizations.

In short, the PhD program at Canada’s x x x University serves all of my important short, medium and long-term goals. I will invest all my efforts in research, and then return to China for an exciting career.

Many scholars consider the Economy as the basic structure of society and the motive power of history. In any event, no one in the world can stay away from the effect of economy.

It was with this observation that I chose Economics as my major when I was admitted to People’s University.

Since graduation in July 2000, I have been working as an assistant with the Council for Economic Planning and Development, Executive Zhang. This position enabled me to realize how important the government’s economic plans are to people’s livelihood. And I feel that the Government of the PRC has done a good job in this regard. In recent years, industry and commerce have developed by leaps and bounds.
