International visiting MPhil/PhD students

安德斯

来访的Ph值.D. student at the Association for Dementia Studies, 金沙苹果版下载

In Denmark, post-grad students are encouraged to go abroad as part of their study. The purpose is to gain knowledge that is not accessible in Denmark, 拓宽学生的专业网络，了解其他国家的研究生教育. 

和我的研究有关, 联系Dawn Brooker教授并询问是否有可能在痴呆症研究协会呆上3个月是一个很明显的选择. The reply was swift 而且 welcoming, 从第一次接触开始，道恩就确保把我介绍给她组织里的相关人员，以方便我的准备工作和前往伍斯特.

获得访问博士学位.D. 学生和团队介绍都做了充分的准备，所以从一开始我就感觉像在家一样. 就时机而言, 我的访问从九月份开始, so there was a lot of team meetings that I was invited to participate in. 这让我难以置信地了解到它们是如何工作的，以及在我逗留期间可以获得哪些知识. 因此，建议您尽早与大学进行对话，以确定您访问的最佳时间.

 在逗留期间，很可能会参与一些项目，最好是你自己的博士学位.D. 计划允许. Also, do not hold back on sharing your view 而且 knowledge with your colleagues. 记住你从拜访他们中学到的东西——他们也受益于将新鲜的思想带入他们的工作生活.

在伍斯特的生活方面，大学为我安排住在巴林顿楼提供了帮助. 在那里，你将有机会遇到其他访问伍斯特的研究生，并与他们交往. This gives some interesting insight into other research fields, which always helps to develop your knowledge about science. 伍斯特本身就是一个美丽的英国城市，有很多购物中心和餐馆.  从伯明翰国际机场乘火车到伍斯特很容易，如果你有机会在这里参观该国的其他地区，从伦敦到伍斯特只需3小时.

It is with no doubt in my mind that I encourage others to visit 金沙苹果版下载. 当你在这里的时候, remember to think of yourself more as a colleague then a guest, 而且 you will gain friends for life.

弗朗西斯卡

I am a PhD student from the University of Padua, Italy.

My field of research concerns the assessment of mood disorders. My university gave me this fantastic opportunity to spend a period of study abroad.

我花了一段时间来选择适合我冒险的地方，因为我想确保我做出了正确的决定. 在国外工作和学习并不总是像你想象的那样:期望不能得到满足, the experience could be disappointing 而且, 大多数时候, staying away from home can be very difficult, especially if you are not satisfied with the work you are doing.

I chose the 金沙苹果版下载, 而且 in particular Professor Lisa Jones (Prof of Psychological Medicine), 因为她的研究小组在情绪障碍方面的工作似乎是双相情感障碍各个研究领域中最有趣和最完整的. 还有另一个原因说服我选择丽莎:她的友好和她的承诺在我到达之前金沙苹果版下载交流的电子邮件中体现出来.

当我到达伍斯特时，我既兴奋又害怕，因为我不知道这次经历会带来什么. 我将, 因此, 感谢金沙苹果版下载组织的热情欢迎(第一天，一位可爱的学生帮我安顿了宿舍和校园). The beautiful surroundings contributed to changing my mood during those stressful days. I refer to this green campus I’m staying in: the trees, 草, the animals 而且 the smell of nature everywhere! 我在巴林顿公寓(由金沙苹果版下载拥有)预订了很好的住宿. 我将 like to thank my flatmates of Barrington House, especially 安德斯 Moeller Jensen (another visiting PhD student, from Denmark) for becoming a friend to whom I could confide 而且 have fun with every day!

最重要的是要感谢情绪障碍研究小组，从第一天起，他们就让我有家的感觉，在工作之余，他们也是可爱的人, for trusting me 而且 making me feel like a good fit in the team. I am grateful to be investigating agitated depression in a big sample of bipolar disorder, 而且 mood disorders in relation to menopause. Thanks to Prof Lisa Jones for being such a strong 而且 capable guide for me in the work as well in the life; Dr Kath Gordon-Smith for her unique 而且 daily patience 而且 sweetness; Amy Perry 而且 Sarah Knott for their smile 而且 friendship; Lizzie Ludlow for her kindness.

I have already been here for three months, 而且 I can certainly say that I could have not made a better choice. 在研究中，我发现自己周围都是有能力和受人尊敬的人，同时我也很谦虚和敏感，善于欣赏和倾听我的想法. I believe this experience is really important to my professional 而且 personal growth, 而且 I think I still have much to learn from the Worcester group of mood disorders researchers.

The city of Worcester is small 而且 friendly. There is much green space, 而且 the river 而且 bridges are beautiful. There are good shops, good English pubs 而且 I even found a good Italian restaurant.  There are many differences to Italian cities, especially all the different sports.

这就是我在伍斯特的经历，每天更新，每天丰富，这种经历将持续到二月份! 我只是想给那些可能走同样道路的人一个建议:选择正确的地方，带着自信的态度去做.
