在经历的几个月的忙碌之后,终于收到了TKK的offer,现在也在着手准备签证了。为了减少后人的疑惑,提供参考,准备对整个申请过程做一个总结。攻略的part1是申请学校的大概过程,以后会补充part2关于申请护照的攻略。希望对学弟学妹们有所帮助。
ApplyingTKK:
本人是10年毕业,毕业后再一家外企工作,2011年我决定申请留学。真正开始准备材料是2010.10月份吧。除了雅思,雅思是在学校还没毕业的时候就考了,边做论文边复习,因为那时候自由支配的时间比较多,大概是在2010.2-5月三个月的时间,每天2个小时雅思,做了剑1-6,就这样拿到了7.5.这样工作后就不用担心靠雅思的问题了。主要心思放在了准备材料上。因为本人只想申请一所学校,就是TKK,所以从一开始就很有目标,没有太纠结学校。只是在专业方向的选择上纠结了很久,因为如果大方向没有定下来,会影响后motivation letter的准备。所以建议大家先决定好自己想学的专业,再去准备材料。
所需的材料可以在TKK的网站上找到,每个学校要求不一样,但大同小异。大家先确认好再准备。
Thefollowing documents must be enclosed with the application form:
√An attested copy of official bachelor's degree certificate (the studies must be completed by 31 July 2011), or a certificate for equivalent studies√Authorised translation of the degree (if applicable) (这个对于已经毕业的我来说就是拿着学位证书去南京公正认证,我们学校学位证书只有中文的,但是学校网站上有英文模板,有需要的话自己填写并到教务处盖章,然后去公证认证。在校生这个暂时不许提供,等拿到offer后再补发给学校。)
√Official transcript of records listing your completed university studies, or an attested copy of it (成绩单也是自己翻译好,拿去公证认证)Authorised translation of the transcript (if applicable)
√Curriculum vitae (CV)
Copy of passport or ID-card
Language test scores (to be submitted no later than 28 February). For detailed information about the language requirements, please see our web page section 'Language Requirements' (可以是雅思或者是托福成绩,我考的雅思,而且直接发的copy,不是原件,TKK不需要发原件)
For those applying for the Department of Architecture, a portfolio of their work. (与我无关)
网上的申请表(其中有要求Motivation letter,要提前准备,不超过4000个字节。)
我也准备了两份推荐信,尽管学校没有要求,但是有一两个reference总是好的。
Inaddition to the compulsory application materials, some programmes may require AdditionalDocumentsto be able to better evaluate your application. While these documentsare not compulsory, they are strongly recommended, because they provide furtherinformation about your background and thus add value to your application.Additional documents do not need to be officially attested, regular copiessuffice, unless mentioned otherwise. Please contact the programme in questionfor further information on additional documents.(这些additional文件可没有,但是极力推荐,因为会有助于申请,我申的专业要求的另外两项文件是高中毕业证和工作经历,因为我已经本科毕业了所以我就用本科毕业证去公证认证,工作证明就找现在的经理开了个。)

本人在准备材料的时候秉承认真负责的原则。如果可以的话,所有要求的材料尽量都办好,而且都公证认证,尽管后来有人说没必要公证认证,但是因为我只申了一所学校,我不想因为外界因素而失去机会。所以这些硬件能办好的话就尽量办好,多花一点钱不吃亏。毕竟后面办签证还是要公证认证,那时候你只要要一份副本就好了。
一月底所有材料都寄出去,然后就是快乐的回家过了个年,回来发现TKK的admin发邮件说我材料不全,搞的我莫名其妙,打了个电话,发了封邮件,发现是他们搞错了,然后就是安静的等待结果。2011.4.28网上准时公布了结果,selected。欣喜。。。
