How to apply
Witam, Mam na imię Mirek i obecnie kończę robić doktorat na Uniwersytecie w Cranfield. W PL studiowałem Inżynierię Materiałową na Politechnice Krakowskie, a w 2009 r. pojąłem roczne studia magisterskie MSc in Advanced Materials na uniwersytecie w Cranfield. Z racji dobrych wyników z magisterki dostałem ofertę kontynuacji projektu w formie doktoratu i ja przyjąłem. Studia magisterskie (MSc) w UK trochę różnią się od tych w Polsce, gdyż wykłady stanowią tylko 40% czasu spędzonego na uczelni, reszta to grupowy (20%) oraz indywidualny (40%) projekt badawczy, co składa się na 100% końcowej oceny. Każdy projekt bada coś nowego i innowacyjnego, bardzo wiele z nich jest bezpośrednio połączonych z przemysłem, a co za tym idzie już na studiach można zdobyć kontakty z potencjalnymi pracodawcami. Laboratoria są dobrze wyposażone, pracuje się w koleżeńskiej atmosferze, a studenci dostają do nich pełny dostęp po odpowiednim przeszkoleniu. Na koniec chce dodać ze studia w UK są wymagające i nie ma za wiele czasu na 'aktywności pozaakademickie' ale jest to wysiłek warty podjęcia, gdyż po obronie otwierają się przed każdym całkiem nowe perspektywy zawodowe. Życzę powodzenia i pozdrawiam!! Miroslaw Kula, PhD Student 2010-2013 MSc Advanced Materials 2009
