美国ASTON的PhD面经.

申请专业=PhD in Management/Marketing

　　美国phd面试是很多准备申请美国研究生的人必须提前准备的，下面就是美国ASTON的phd面试经历经验介绍，让我们一起来分享一下。

　　ASTON的Marketing Group占了b-school 2nd floor一半的面积 ,而我要见的老师的办公室在最里面. 我是走过了3道门才找到,曲径通幽啊~~ 不过同时发现这个group就有4个prof.看起来还是有点实力的

　　因为知道自己晚了，所以也就没什么心情观光，直接敲门进了professor的办公室。

　　M (Me-Rodmace) P (Professor)

　　M: I am terribly sorry, I am late. I thought our meeting….

　　P: Never mind, that’s not a problem. Please have a seat.

　　P: The purpose of our meeting is to make sure that you are the person I want to cooperate with and I am the right person to you. Otherwise, PhD study would be miserable for both students and supervisors. (Laugh…)

　　M: That is absolutely right…

　　P: I normally do not take any new PhD student. You know, as the head, I have to spend much time on admin and meetings. Because your proposal shows exactly what I would like to conduct, I consider you as my PhD student. (好象先让我知道机会难得)

　　P: What is your career perspective?

　　M: To be a professor probably.

　　P: That’s great. That’s what we are aiming at. Some students want to work in the industry in the future so they do not spend enough time on producing quality papers…然后就说了，希望我能写几个不错的论文发表，他可以做第二作者。然后说了supervisor和student之间应该是mutual benicial.(Laugh…)

　　M: Of course. I totally agree…

　　P: Good. Let me tell you what you will do during your PhD study. Firstly, you will enroll as a master student. During the first year, you will…..然后就是把整个的structure给我讲了一遍.

　　M: Sounds interesting. So I will be registered as a master student first?

　　P: Yes. But the first year is very important… At the end of the first year, you need to hand in a formal proposal which will be evaluated by the committee. If you pass it, you would start your 2nd year research. Our system is like the US one. At the end of the year, you will clearly know what you want and be prepared from theory, data, and analysis aspects.

　　M: How long can I get a PhD degree based on this new route system?

　　P: 3 years in total. My part time student can finish his research within 3 years, so I believe as a full time student you can get your degree in 3 years.

　　P: 开始夸ASTON,说了很多牛人,还有学校和业界的联系,总之,就是说ASTON绝对牛. 然后说了, your proposal is an interesting and good start, but need to…. That is the reason why we provide all of our PhD students a year to prepare their formal proposals.

　　M: During my preliminary research in LSE, data collecting was a problem. My concern is about the data collection. Should I do it by myself?

　　P: You do not need to do the survey and collect the data….

　　M: It’s time consuming.

　　P: Right…

　　M: I mean whether Aston can help me to get enough data set from the companies…

　　P: That’s not a problem at all. We have lots of connections…a lot of data available. We can offer those companies free analysis and they have no reason to ruse. For me, I am currently doing…

　　P: We have lots of modelers. XXX and DDD are leading the research group. I am the head so I do not have enough time to lead this group. I noticed that you want to be modeler as well, right?

　　M: Yes.

　　P: Great! MMM and EEE are focusing their models based on Time Series, which is on the leading edge of marketing research. Maybe you can do that in your future research as well. You math is good, right?

　　M: I have confidence on my math.

　　P: That is good. I know that Chinese students are good at math not like those students from Europe. (Laugh…)

　　P: I already told you our structure and content. Simple and direct. (Laugh…)

　　M: (我就不明白他笑什么,于是和他一起傻笑…)
