박사과정 지원 컨택 메일 내용의 일부분입니다
I suggest that you make an application in the normal way, but when we answer you, 1) we may consider offering you a place on our Master of Studies in Korean Studies course or a place on our Master of Philosophy in Traditional East Asia before admitting you to study for a DPhil. These possible responses are not specific to you. We usually hesitate to admit students directly to the DPhil, because we cannot be sure of the student's abilities and we cannot know the viability of a research plan simply by reading the papers we receive. A good proposal does not mean that the student can do the research. Research work for the MSt or the MPhil can be used for the DPhil, and the time spent preparing the MSt (1-year) or the MPhil (2-year) allows us to judge the feasibility of your research abilities and research plans.
2) Another consideration is to make an application to the School of Anthropology or the Faculty of Art History and state that you have been in contact with me and that I might consider co-supervising you for the DPhil. It depends on whether your research would be primarily on the peculiarities of the Korean case (Korean Studies) or the universalities of museology and the impacts of colonialism and globalization on the Korean case (Museology).
1)의 경우 석사 지원을 한다면 받아줄 용의가 있다는 말인가요?
(참고로 저는 Korean Studies 지원자 입니다, 교수님분도 그 학과 담당이시고요)
혹시 2)의 경우와 비추어 봤을 때, 여러분들은 어떤 선택을 하실건지 묻고 싶어요
저는 박사과정 바로 시작하고는 싶지만, 이 지도교수님은 1)이 더 정상적인 진학과정이라고 하는데 많이 고민되네요...
