留學英國及獎學金申請過程---7 (Bournemouth University 越洋口試, 複試)

在此簡略回顧申請 Bournemouth University (簡稱 BU) 的過程, 好讓各位估算需要提早多久開始準備.

2006年9月: 選擇, 比較英國傳播媒體相關碩士學程資料
2006年10月8日 (研二上): 開始著手申請 BU Media School 的碩士學程
2006年11月24日: 透過 UKEAS 大英國協教育資訊中心 幫我掃瞄申請表, 推薦函等所有文件給 BU
2007年1月22日: BU 審查了我的申請表 (Direct Application Form) 後, 通知我要越洋口試
2007年2月6日 (寒假中): 越洋口試, 教授針對申請表內容發問, 除了測試英語能力之外, 也了解個人就讀該學程的動機. 口試結束後, 教授說還有複試, 內容說明如下:

Thank you for talking to me on the phone this afternoon. As promised I am now forwarding a press release about Bournemouth buses. I'd be grateful if you would use the information in this press release to write a 250-word story for the Bournemouth news media, bearing in mind that statements have to be attributed to whoever said them. Please also then include 5 suggestions for ways to develop the story further, for example by interviewing certain types of people or researching more information.If you can email me your reply as soon as possible, we will then be able to make a decision on your application.

2007年2月8日: 得到無條件入學許可 (Unconditional Offer), 申請過程共歷時約半年不到.
入學許可上註明必須在一個月內繳交 £1000 訂金保留資格.
