PhD in International Management Scholarship – China

The International PhD (IPHD) Program at Sun Yat-Sen Business School,
Guangzhou,China

http://bus.sysu.edu.cn/en/index.aspx

Overview

The International PhD (IPHD) Program at Sun Yat-sen Business School
(SYSBS) is designed to foster IPHD students to become top-notch
doctoral students in both China and the world. At present, the program
concentrates on one major – international management (IM) – coached by
a team of domestically and internationally renowned faculty in the
field. It is a full-time, five-year (or less), fully funded program
offering the students tuition waiver and stipend. The program also
arranges and financially supports each student one-year overseas
training and research mentored by internationally reputed scholars.
The program aims to place its doctoral students, after completing the
program, in top Chinese business schools or internationally recognized
business schools abroad.

Distinctions

The program focuses on establishing a solid theoretical and
methodological foundation on which the doctoral students can build for
their future research and academic career. Most courses (theories,
methods, advanced topics), specifically designed for this program,
will be offered by internationally reputed scholars. Courses are
taught in English.

Each student will be mentored throughout the program by a faculty team
consisting of internationally established scholars from the U.S. and
from SYSBS. The students are expected to sharpen their skills in
research and publications not merely through coursework but by
collaborative research with their international mentors or advisors.

The program will financially support each student for up to five years
by covering his or her all tuition and stipend in commensuration with
living expenses in Guangzhou, providing they maintain satisfactory
progress in the program.

During his or her up to 5-year period and after completing core
coursework, each student will be sent overseas, studying under and
researching with his or her international advisors for up to one year.
This overseas study/visit will be financially sponsored by the
program.
IPHD students for this program are recruited globally (Chinese and
foreign students) using international standards (e.g., GMAT).
Likewise, once completing the program, their job placements are global
too.

The program also offers each student an opportunity to enhance
teaching skills, conduct field studies, and financially support their
international travel to attend and present at major international
conferences.

Credentials

To be eligible for admission to this competitive program, an applicant
is required to have (at least) a bachelor's degree from an
internationally accredited university, top at his or her classes, and
excel in English. All doctoral students are admitted as full-time,
beginning in the fall.

All applicants are required to complete their GMAT or GRE test by the
application deadline, which is February 15. The test must be taken
within the past five years. International students must also submit an
official report of TOEFL. An exception is made for foreign students

English-speaking country.

FELLOWSHIP COORDINATOR

The pre-evaluation procedure to enroll in the two-year MSc program in "Informatica - Computer Science" (www.unive.it/msc-computer-science), offered by Università Ca' Foscari Venezia (Italy) for the academic year 2012/13, is open from Feb 1st to May 31st, 2013.

The program, which is taught in English and is suitable for students with diverse academic backgrounds, covers the theory and practice of a wide spectrum of fields in Computer Science and Information Technology, and allows students to pursue a minor in Statistics.

Three study plans, which include specific groups of related elective courses, are suggested: (1) Information Sciences and Intelligent Systems, (2) Software Dependability and IT Security, and (3) Information Systems and Statistical Analysis.

The requirements to apply are the following: Candidates must hold a university degree, equivalent to a tree-year (or four-year) Bachelor degree in Computer Science or related subjects (Computer/Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, etc.); Candidates must be proficient in English (a B1 certificate is required, or a certificate attesting that the medium of instruction of the bachelor was English).

Candidates can ask for an on-line pre-evaluation of their qualification and school career (www.unive.it/evaluation) before starting the official enrolment procedure. 
Only students who complete successfully the on-line pre-evaluation procedure by May 31st, 2013 can be awarded with the university international scholarships. Other regional scholarships are available, assigned on the basis of the family income.

This pre-evaluation procedure is particularly important for non-EU citizens residing abroad, who have to apply as early as possible (we suggest long before the deadline of May 31st, 2013). These students, once received a pre-acceptance letter, have to submit a further pre-enrolment application to an Italian Diplomatic Delegation in their countries, in order to pre-enroll and transmit us all the original documents, and to start as soon a possible a pretty long process to obtain an Italian Student Visa.
