Two Years Ago New Zealand announced that international students can go for PHD paying domestic students fees which is 10000 dirhams. I thought this was common knowledge; last night I found out that its not a knowledge that people have, and by just mentioning it to this brilliant Architect  she jumped off her seat.  So I decided to announce it again.  The package can be found by clicking this link www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/home/for/international-students/phd-study-options and this http://www.victoria.ac.nz/modernletters/student-help/international-students.aspx or any other NZ university website.

We are looking for a selection of 2010 Freshers to produce a number of video blogs (vBlogs) to showcase their thoughts, feelings and experiences in the lead up to the Freshers’ Week, arriving in Aberystwyth and the exciting times which follow. These will be published on the Aberystwyth University website, and will be available for anyone to watch.

vBlogs were trialed last year, gaining a successful online following with over 6000 video views. This could soon be you! You’ll be presented with your very own video camera to help you in this task, and if you have editing skills, we’ll also give you video editing software, although the ability to edit your own vBlogs isn’t essential.

Want to be part of these exciting new videos? All we want you to do is create a 30 second vBlog about ANYTHING you want. This can be recorded on a webcam or a video camera. Prior experience of vBlogging isn’t essential, and all applications will be considered… here’s what we’re looking for:

• The ability to entertain
• To be free to start blogging up to a week before you arrive
• A willingness to film experiences upon arrival
• Someone who can visually communicate their feelings about studying at university
• Dedication and motivation

If your vBlog impresses us, we’ll want you to start blogging prior to your arrival in Aberystwyth, and we’ll ship your new video camera out to you!

If you think you’ve got what it takes to make insightful, entertaining vBlogs, simply email your 30-second vBlog to rzm@aber.ac.uk by 6th September. Don’t forget to include your name, email address, what course you will be studying and if you have any video editing skills.

Winners will be notified by email and announced on Facebook on Friday 10th September.

for those students who have the passion, creativity and high acheivements, we have few scholarships from New Zealand, UK and Italy email info@ezone.ae for more information.

I'm delighted to inform you that Robert Gordon University(http://www.rgu.ac.uk/) has performed extremely well in The Times Good University Guide 2011, published today.  We have come 46th overall, the first time we have appeared in the top 50 of this league table.  What is particularly pleasing is that we are the only modern university to appear in the top 50.

And this is the third year in a row that we have been the top modern University in the UK in The Times Good University Guide.  A key factor in our success is our record in graduate-level employment which was again excellent.
