Postgraduate studies 


From my point of view is necessary to have a very specific interest in your field to choose a program of postgraduate studies. That is the reason why I will like to work for a while to acquire some experience and then with more clarity choose the correct postgraduate.

I would like to make a specialization or a master in the field of communications and social science. I wouldn’t choose a doctorate because I don’t want to be a university professor. Besides, finish a PHD require a lot of time and effort.

I think it is more enriching to study a post graduate studies in another country. I will probably choose Canada because my aunt and her family live there. And I also have a really good relationship with her and my cousins.

Montreal have really good universities with worldwide recognize and high level of employability rate, some of the are: McGill University, Concordia University and the Université de Montreal. In addition, it is a multicultural city, the people is really nice with the foreigners and you have the option of study in English or in French. 

Sometimes the government offers scholarships in foreigner’s universities. But, in an ideal scenario I would like to choose a mode of study more relaxing like: part time or half time, for have more free time to work if is necessary and at the same time, know the city.

Maybe the distance learning is the mode of study of the future, but I am not really big fan of it.  Because I think that learning distance have some limitations, specially with some complicated process, like the investigation and the critical thinking. Furthermore, I consider that the university experience it is more that only the class and require the face-to-face interaction. 

I think is really difficult decision and involved many areas like: the money, the time and the effort. So is better to meditate about first and then take a decision.

  1. Hi Nicol!
    I agree with you about studie a post gratuated in another country because you have the posibility of learn in the chosen field and also to know another culture, another language and different places. This experience will give you knowledge that in Chile is not posible.
    In the same line, I think travel to Canada to studie will be a very good decision because its universities.
    I hope you can make your dream come true in some years.
    Cheers!
