That’s an excellent summary of the PG application process. I had a different experience though. my MPhil is one of the few that requires no personal statements, and most of my interview time was focused on my research proposal. you are right about funding. It is so hard to secure one for masters! I have a friend who is self funding her phd at cambridge though. Hopefully she will earn a scholarship soon. It’s no light undertaking!
@@SavannahPhillipss MPhil in education (Educational leadership & improvement). Yeah I'm hoping the best for her. Thank you for being candid about your funding situation. It is a refreshing change from many youtubers who either avoid the topic or skim over it.
Hi instead of applying to Cambridge masters whilst at final year of bachelors, can I go into workplace for a year or two to save up some money plus gain more professional experience, and then only apply to masters? Will it be more advantageous if I do it? Or is it better to just apply directly right after doing bachelors?
it depends on the degree but i know that for example, the diplomacy degree at oxford actually specifies that real working experience is an advantage. it can be better to apply straight after undergrad so that you don't lose motivation for academia after working for a couple of years, but working certainly won't be a disadvantage if you choose to do so
I am currently year 1 in UoN(China) doing AEE course. Your video is encouraging and I hope to enter the cambridge through my effort one day!
Good luck! You can do it!! :)

3:12 to 3:21 Congratulations! Happy for you!
Interesting story- I’m starting my philosophy degree at Nottingham soon, so maybe I should consider an MPhil in philosophy for the future. Thanks!

what do you mean with "fast application? basically, which month?
I do have 60% of scores in bachelor 😢😭 What I can do now
did you get in?
Can I apply for M.phil in archaeology without having MA degree and with only BA degree?
Yes, to apply for an MPhil you need a first class or upper 2:1 in your BA.
you are beautiful
