Hi everyone. Currently I'm planning to apply for a master program in order to satisfy the degree requirement of PhD admission in the Europe. Since I already have several years' research experience and 10+ publications, I want to save time and get into PhD study ASAP. Thus my initial plan was to apply for an one-year master program this year and then I will apply for the PhD positions/programs so that I can start my PhD next fall. But something was wrong with my visa application and finally I missed the register deadline. Now I have two plans:
1. Apply for an one-year master program started in next spring. The problem is that I am not sure which countries in the Europe have such programs.
2. Apply for an one-year online master program. The problem is that I'm not sure if it is recognized in PhD admission in the Europe.
Can anyone give me some advices? Thank you!
