急求助：part-time VS. full-time

[Xiaoniba]

我申请的一所加拿大一流学校有位教授想接收我进入他的研究，但是他不能提供奖学金，除非自己能从外面获得奖学金资助，否则学校是不接收自己资助自己的学生。另外一个办法就是可能有机会上part-time。

请各位给出出主意：
1，从外面获得奖学金容易吗？
2，part-time和full-time到底有多少不同呢？

谢谢各位！

What is your status? PR? And what program you applying for?
You can apply for student loan if you are PR. Whether or not
you have the financial support will have nothing to do with
your chance of admission. I don't understand why they won't
accept you. What kind of program you are applying? What is
tuition fee? As far as I know, some program requres a much
higher tuition which can not be covered solely by student
loans. For example: The master of telecommunication engineering
in University of toronto. That might be the problem.
Don't even think of getting scholarships! It is tooooooooooo
difficult. Few professors have grants now. Even if you are
outstanding, it depends on your professor.
There will be no great difference between the full time and
part time. The reason they don't accept full time may be
finicial related. They don't think a full time student without
income can support himself. Some programs are created for those
professionals which charge much more than regular programs. If
you happen to apply for that program, this may be the reason.

谢谢你的回复！

我申请的就是普通的Master Degree。按照教授的意思，这个是不同于学生贷款的，这个要求来源于系里的某些政策。在我的理解，他们是不会向学生发出Admission的，只有offer和rejection。

你的意思是说从外部（比如一些公司）寻找奖学金是不可能的吗？

另外如果我选择了part-time，就是说我要花费比full-time的学生更多的时间完成学位是吗？上part-time的学生多吗？他们通常是以学习为主还是以其它的工作为主呢？

哪个学校这么怪,第一次听说啊.
按说PART-TIME 不比 FULL-TIME贵呀.
时间上一学期最多选两门课,不会慢很多.
这里不是美国,外部的奖学金很少.
而且拿奖学金永远比入学要难.
他们的学费要多少啊?

"按照教授的意思，这个是不同于学生贷款的"甚而意思?
这个PROGRAM不能申请贷款?

就是说这个跟学生贷款没有关系。我也不理解学校到底是出于哪方面的考虑。

如果上part-time的program，我是不是也可以整天呆在学校里面呢？part-time的学生是不是低人一等呢？上一个好学校的part-time的program是不是也值呢？教授说一共修5门课程就可以，加上一个thesis，这样一般要多久呢？我是在上完这些课程之后才开始做thesis还是边上课边做thesis呢？后者是不是更快呢？

教授说他在我申请外部奖学金的事情上会引导我和帮助我。他也是没有办法，但我感觉到他还是非常想接收我的。

If you are a PR, u can apply for OGS if your background is strong enough. But it is really weird that they dont accept master students who can support themselves.
There is no big difference between part-time and full-time students. You just have to spend a little more time to finish your degree requirement. You can work on your thesis once you start your study, however, you will be asked to work on your thesis full-time for some terms. I am not sure how many terms you need. It really depends on your department and yourself.

谢谢你的回复。

我也听说申请OGS非常难。在今年申请形式如此严峻的情况下，也许part-time仍不失为一个很好的选择。我原来很担心part-time相对于full-time来说会受到许多不平等对待，你们的解释消除了我许多顾虑。

再次感谢。
