[info] S-2 kedokteran gigi UK

From: Farah Purwaningrum

Saya salah satu penerima beasiswa Chevening untuk tahun 2005-2006. Saran saya coba cari di beberapa website sebagai berikut:
http://www.educationuk.org/scholarships/
http://www.scholarship-search.org.uk/

Mungkin Beasiswa Chevening bisa jadi alternative tetapi penting untuk diketahui bahwa untuk jurusan yang clinical based biasanya menerapkan tuition fee yang mahal (14.000-20.000 poundsterling) sedangkan tuition fee untuk beasiswachevening dibatasi. Jadi misalnya mau daftar chevening harus riset dari sekarang jadi bisa estimasi range tuition fee (sekalian persiapan untuk wawancara chevening). Ada juga beberapa university di UK yang menawarkan scholarship tertentu seperti shell centenary scholarship atau scholarship untuk Master byr esearch atau award Overseas research students award (ORS). Untuk akreditasi jurusan kedokteran gigi di U.K bisa dilihat di http://www.hero.ac.uk , dari sini bisa mengunjungi website University and ngelihat info beasiswa tertentu yang tersedia di University tersebut. Last but not least, selamat mencari info dan berjuang ya!

Semoga bermanfaat.

Warm regards from yogya,

[USA] The Next Generation: Leadership in Asian Affairs” Fellowship

Deadline: January 16, 2006

The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) is pleased to announce “The Next Generation: Leadership in Asian Affairs” fellowship, a post-master’s degree program that will help cultivate a new generation of Asia affairs specialists committed to and capable of bridging the gap between the best scholarly research and the pressing needs of American foreign policy towards a rapidly changing Asia.

NBR invites recent master’s and professional degree holders (e.g., MA, MBA, LLM, etc.) to apply for a year-long fellowship at NBR’s headquarters in Seattle to collaborate with leading scholars to publish research, and to participate in the briefing of research findings to the policymaking community in Washington, D.C.


This one-year fellowship is designed to further the professional development of Asia specialists in the year just after the completion of their master’s degree. Successful applicants will gain further knowledge of Asia and an understanding of the U.S. foreign policymaking process through the following: conducting research under the guidance of an NBR program director; collaborating with senior scholars on academic publications; and traveling to Washington, D.C. to participate in the briefing of research findings to relevant constituents within the policy community.

The application deadline is January 16, 2006. Fellowships begin June 5, 2006 and conclude May 31, 2007.

Fellowship Description

The Next Generation Fellowship will grant a one-year award to four fellows annually. Next Generation fellows will work on NBR program-based research projects and participate in the effective delivery of that research to the foreign policy community. The four major components of the Next Generation Fellowship are:

* Publication. A signature element of the program is the completion of at least one journal-quality publication published by either NBR or an outside scholarly journal. In most cases, this publication will be composed through collaboration with a senior scholar who has been asked to contribute to an NBR research project.
* Bridging the gap between research and policy. Because NBR believes that writing alone is not adequate to inform policy, the fellow will also participate in NBR’s active outreach toward the policy community in Washington, D.C. through participation in conferences, briefings, and private meetings.
* Gaining in-depth knowledge of U.S. foreign policymaking. Fellows will engage the policymaking community through association with the U.S. government officials on the program’s advisory board, the program orientation, and briefings to policymakers.
* Guidance and mentoring. “The Next Generation Leadership” fellows will be incorporated directly into NBR’s substantive policy research programs. Responsible to and guided by the relevant program director, the fellows will be embedded in the workings of an organization that expresses in daily practice the high ideals of the fellowship’s goals.

Prior to taking up residence in Seattle, each new class of fellows will participate in a three-day orientation in Washington, D.C. These three days will include meetings with individuals in several branches of the U.S. government, including Congress, as well as with senior academics who have successfully bridged the scholarship-policy gap. Arranged by NBR’s Washington, D.C., office, “The Next Generation Leadership” orientation will immerse the fellows in the program’s vision, allow them to meet with American political and academic leaders, and provide opportunities for discussions between the fellows and the constituents of their forthcoming research.

At any given time, NBR’s eight program areas (see below) direct approximately thirty major research projects and programs involving 150 scholars at universities and research centers worldwide. Each fellow will be placed within the NBR program that matches his/her qualifications and research interests.

* Northeast Asia Studies
* Southeast Asia Studies
* Eurasia Studies
* South Asia Studies
* Energy Security Studies
* Globalization Program
* Center for Health and Aging
* Center for Asian Security Studies

Once placed within a program, each fellow will collaborate with a senior scholar on an NBR-defined research project to produce at least one journal-quality publication. The fellow will have full-time research and project management responsibilities, serving as an associate rather than an assistant to the senior scholar. With the assistance of NBR’s Washington, D.C., office, which is dedicated to communicating research findings to the U.S. policymaking community, fellows will map the constituencies for their particular program. They will also participate in the briefing of research results for the relevant actors in the U.S. government, including Congress.

Application Instructions

Applicants are required to submit the following:

* Cover sheet
* Curriculum vitae/resume
* 750-word essay stating how they would benefit from a fellowship within one of NBR’s programs areas (please identify preferred program area)
* Names of three references (one outside of academia)

Please email the above materials to nextgen@nbr.org. Applications must be received no later than January 16, 2006.

Fellowship Eligibility

American citizenship or permanent residence status is required. The applicant must have completed a master’s degree by the time the fellowship begins. Individuals may apply to the program up to twelve months after receiving a master’s degree. Prospective fellows should apply only for the year that they expect to participate. No deferrals are permitted.

Fellowship Benefits

For each fellow, regardless of his or her career trajectory, the program will be an extraordinary opportunity. Fellows who go on to specialize in Asia scholarship will have been exposed to the policy relevance of their research, just as those who choose a policy-related career will have been exposed to the importance of quality scholarship. Fellows who choose other career paths, whether in the private, nonprofit, or media sectors, will also have been exposed to the dynamic intersection of policy and scholarship.

One thing will hold true for all alumni of “The Next Generation Leadership” program: They will be young leaders, with life-long friendships, capable of making a significant difference in how the United States relates to Asia. Their exposure to the critical need of informing policy will shape their contributions as leaders and strengthen their impact in their various fields. Fellows will acquire or refine skills in:

* understanding of American foreign policy
* analysis, research, and writing
* written presentation of research in a format that is useful to policymakers
* briefing skills
* team collaboration
* project management

Each fellow will receive a $30,000 fellowship award (with benefits), as well as travel and research-related expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have a question that is not answered below, please contact us at nextgen@nbr.org.

What kinds of research projects will I be working on?
Each NBR program area has an evolving research agenda that addresses a range of critical policy relevant issues. A sample of programmatic research topics drawn from NBR’s current work includes the following:

* China’s Energy Insecurity
* Military Modernization in Asia
* Early Health Policy
* Central Asia’s Changing Geopolitics
* Globalization and Chinese Economic Development
* Economic Implications of a Fundamental Reorientation of North Korean WMD policies
* Trends in Islamic Education in South Asia
* China–Southeast Asia Relations

May I participate in the Next Generation program for less than the one-year period?
No. Fellows are required to commit to completing the full one-year program beginning June 5, 2006 and ending May 31, 2007.

May I seek additional employment during my time as a fellow at NBR in Seattle?
No. Fellows are expected to work full-time for NBR and are not permitted to obtain additional employment.

Is there a set deadline for publication? What happens if my article is not published before the end of the fellowship term?
The publication the fellow contributes to will be published according to the project’s normal production schedule. That may or may not occur during the fellowship term.

May I enroll in graduate classes during my time as a fellow at NBR in Seattle?
To ensure that selected fellows participate fully in their experience at NBR, fellows may not be enrolled in graduate classes during the fellowship period.

May I apply if my degree is anticipated during the fellowship year, but not yet awarded?
No. The degree must have been awarded by the time the fellowship commences. This is why individuals may apply to the program up to twelve months after receiving a master’s degree.

Is this fellowship only for students who have a master’s degree in international affairs?
NBR’s research programs span a breadth of geographic and functional areas. It is anticipated that this nationwide program will attract a similarly broad range of graduating master’s degree students that range from international relations degrees to degrees in, for example, business, public health, and law. Most important is that the candidate “makes the case” in the application of how he/she would benefit from the fellowship experience.

Will NBR provide housing for my stay in Seattle?
No. Fellows will need to make their own housing arrangements.

The Next Generation Leadership Advisory Board

The Next Generation Leadership Advisory Board comprises a select group of respected academics and policymakers who have demonstrated commitment and success in the practical work of bridging the academic and policy worlds. The board will provide inspirational leadership to the program and meet individually, as possible, with program fellows in Washington, D.C. to share their vision for the need to strengthen the development of a cohort of young Americans with expertise on Asia.
