How to get Acceptance letter from Chinese University professor

How to find and contact a Supervisor/Professor regarding MS, PhD

Students who need to contact supervisors for CSC scholarships for MS and PhD in China. They

have to find supervisors first and then contacting them.

How to find Supervisors/Professor

1) Find the list of universities, you want to apply for by writing in google.com. e.g., “Universities

in China”. You will get whole list of universities there. also you can see in file section there is list

of universities whose under CSC

2) Finalize your area of interest; you can finalize your area of interest by looking at your final

year project, subject in which you are best, some already done research or some tool in your

filed you are best for example programmers in Computer science field. So find as many

keywords as you can from them, for example programmers and CS people can use keyword,

image processing or computer vision or data analysis etc.

3) Open google.com and write the research area of interest with some university name whom

you have already found out in first point given above.

4) You will get the results from google about the department links/professors links/papers from

that university published etc., relevant to your area of interest b. You can open the links of

professors and departments links or papers to find out your relevant professor/professors.

How to contact Supervisor/Professor

1) Professors are doing advanced research work, which you have not done, but may be some

tools or techniques, which professor is using, you have worked on or you have basic knowledge

of professor work etc.

2) Before contacting the professor, you must know that they have not much time to look at

your emails. So be careful for the instructions given below

3) Read out the all the professors profiles very carefully and see which one is related to your

area of interest.

By profile reading of professor I mean to read their

(i) Research papers

ii) Projects

4) Finalize one or two or more professors based on who is most understandable and relevant to

the area of interest you are going for. You will get this thing cleared after you have read their

projects and their research papers

5) Then after the few professors you have finalized. Read with very extreme attention their

research papers. Ask your seniors or teachers to help you understanding them

6) See and find that how your area of interest fits in them. For example if you are good in some

subject /tool and they have already used it.

7) You must understand fully the ideas presented in the paper.

8) Then start writing an email with a suitable heading such as “Request for supervision of

MS/PhD”.

9) Body of email should not be much long or short.

10) Start email by introducing with your name and the university, country you are from.

11) Then mention that while going through profiles of professors, you stumbled upon that

professor profile and have read his papers, mention the paper/papers names you have already

read of that professor and in one line the basic idea of paper/papers you understood. Then next

line you mention how you link your area of interest with his that paper or papers whom you

have already mentioned. This thing is quite tricky; you have to be good in it. For example I work

in Computer science field and I write that “I read your paper “abc” in which you have

implemented xyz algorithm using xyz filter. I have also implemented same kind of algorithm in

which I have used abc filter with boosting classifiers and implemented the code using OpenCV

libraries.”. This is just an example, you can write better version of it as it is just a sample line.

Also if you can give some genuine idea on which you want to work on, then it is best. But you

should be writing technically when presenting such idea. These ideas come into your mind

when you read many papers in one area of interest.

12) This thing will let him understand that you are a serious person and you have read his

papers and you want to do serious work

13) Then ending lines that you would like to work for MS/PhD under his/her supervision,

14) You can mention sometimes in first email also the scholarships you want to apply for

Chinese Govt Scholarship

15) Put formal endings

16) Attach research CV

17) Research Proposal

18) Best is to use University official email address, if you do not have any university email

address, then make a good email ID, do not make funny IDs, such as Romeo447@gmail.com or

some jokes like it.
