Just got a rejection email from Educational Studies, UBC. Sad, but I am still waiting from Toronto. My hope is dwindling, though.

Hi all, I'm an international applicant and have applied to LHAE OISE, U of T and EDST UBC. Both for PhD programmes and I'm still anxiously waiting for the results Last year I was rejected twice from 2 universities in the UK so I guess this will be my last shot.

Hi all, I'm an international student and planning to apply for a PhD (Higher Education) for fall 2018. For successful PhD applicants, may I contact you to read your Letter of Intent? I'm clueless to write a strong one. Thank you in advance.

Hi, I've just finished my MA at UCL this year majoring in TESOL programme. Gunning for PhD/DPhil in Education at Oxbridge and UCL with the focus on vocational higher education in Indonesia. Is it really matter if the master programme and proposed research study are different (though my master dissertation was about English curricula in vocational HE setting and I was also enrolled in a vocational-related module, and I'm expected to graduate with a merit, not distinction)? I haven't contacted my potential supervisor(s) yet as I'm still polishing my proposal, SoP, and whatnots. Is it a good idea if I contact the persons early November for late December submission? Thanks and fingers crossed for those who are on the same boat!

HI've already finished my MA TESOL Pre-service at UCL Institute of Education and am still waiting for the result this November. My professional teaching practice was less than 2 years (in fact, I went to be a part-time lecturer straight after my bachelor graduation and lasted for 6 months). However, my nonformal English teaching experience (including volunteering activities) was much longer than that. The were 2 TESOL programmes at UCL, first is the programme for the experienced teachers (>2 years of teaching experience), while my programme is for the less experienced teachers, considering my professional teaching practice. My MA concerns on theory and research, not on teaching and practice to quote @twos1c, and although this is a new programme (I was in the 2nd cohort), some of my friends there are planning to do their PhD as well. As a background info, I got GPA 3.42 from and Indonesian university and I wrote a strong personal statement, also I was a sponsored student from Indonesian government. Hope this helps and all the best!
