The IELTS test is a very difficult examination and it's very important to prepare well for the test before actually taking it.

2.問: 您好，我對英國的學校很有興趣，也想準備開始申請。可是我要從什麼時候開始申請呢?

答: 歡迎您來到捷先! 我們建議您越早申請越好。針對每年入學的申請，最好的丟件時間再每年十月至十一月左右。大部分的學校接受沒有附上語文成績 (IELTS) 的申請，所以不需要等到語文考試通過在申請學校。英國學校收到申請表與相關文件後，若學生入學資格OK的話, 學校會先發 <條件式> 入學許可。 <條件> 有可能是要您稍後補上 IELTS 成績;若您還沒畢業，學校會要您稍後補上畢業成績單 (GPA) 等等。

Q: Hi, I'm very interested in study at a UK university, and I want to start my application process, but when should I start applying?

A: Welcome to GetSet! We strongly advise that you apply as early as possible, for university entry, a good time would be October or November. Most institutions will accept applications without an IELTS score so you don't need to wait until you have taken the IELTS test. The institution will, if you are qualified, issue an offer conditional on English proficiency if you didn't submit an IELTS score. If you havven't yet graduated one of the conditions would also be that you graduate with a certain GPA.

A: Yes it is possible to carry out research in Taiwan as part of a Ph.D. In the UK many universities operate what is known as the "split Ph.D". This means that your time is "Split" between different locations, typically you would spend the first year in the UK and the following two years in Taiwan. A local supervisor would be appointed in Taiwan and the UK supervisor would fly out to Taiwan periodically. One of the obvious benefits of the split Ph.D is that the cost is much less than a Ph.D wholly pursued in the UK.

Q: I've found a university in Scotland that I'd really like to go to for my postgraduate study but I'm worried about the weather being too cold. Is it really that bad?
