So after a rather unfortunate turn of events I won't be able to go to the UK for a masters degree. It is actually quite stupid because despite being accepted by the time I got the damn e-mail the application process for the scholarship was already due.
On the other hand I got accepted in a masters course here in Mexico, actually I was accepted on 2 Universities , but since one is located in the middle of nowhere I decided to stick around my good old Alma mater.
It's actually not a bad deal, since tuition is practically nonexistant , .20 cents (in pesos ) (I shit you not) , and a scholarship intended for living expenses I am pretty happy with it.
(It was the only pic I could find)
Also my advisor is willing to help me get into a good Phd program, hopefully in the US, so that is also ,kinda, sorted out. Right now I need to start reading some Journals to find a good topic and look for courses I want to take.
I'm applying to some Universities in the UK, namely U. of Warrick , U. Manchester and U. of York. They all have good research groups but they do adress different topics.
Warrick has Symplectic Geometry, Manchester has Supermanifolds and York has Harmonic maps.
The process of sending an application is quite tedious and stressfull , getting the transcripts, translating them, getting letters of recommendation, looking for scholarships , oh and then there are the English examinations.
I took the IELTS test last Thursday, it took all morning but I hope I do ok.
Hopefully I hear back from these Universities in the weeks to come...
