什麼是study plan
在申請留學及簽證的過程中，常常會被要求寫Study Plan，告訴大家如何寫Study Plan也就是學習計畫。很多留學的朋友往往搞不清晰學習計畫書和個人陳述（Personal Statement）區別和寫法，因此結合自己的工作經驗，告訴大家如何寫Study Plan也就是學習計畫。一般來說學習計畫書可以按照提交目的分成兩類，既給大使館申請簽證用的，或是給學校申請錄取用的。用來申請學校的學習計畫從本質上講和個人陳述是統一類型的文書，關於學校申請類的學習計畫書可以參考個人陳述方面的文章，本文主要先容提交大使館簽證用的學習計畫書。
歐美國家，特別是移民國家，如澳大利亞、紐西蘭、加拿大等國針對留學生簽證的時候往往要求提供學習計畫書，通過學習計畫書使簽證官了解您的背景，選擇留學專業的念頭前提，選擇該國留學的理由，和清楚的未來留學時間鋪排，職業目標和回國理由，配合審核您的其它材料決定是否給您發放留學簽證，因此學習計畫書是一份很樞紐的檔案。
總的來說，學習計畫書需要包括以下幾方面內容：
1． 簡要是說明自己的學習經歷，專業背景及工作經歷；
2． 說明自己進一步求學的念頭及為什麼選擇該國，該大學與該專業；
3． 具體的留學時間安排；
4． 先容留學所需資金及來源；
5． 對未來職業目標的闡述，留學後回國的理由。
學習計畫書的行文風格和文章結構與個人陳述有很大不同，不需要太多個性化和感性的描述，而應該是結構清楚簡潔，邏輯嚴密，闡述的事實明確，相關論占有力可托，學成回國的理由要非常充分，不能和申請人的其他材料發生矛盾。
因為使館的工作職員天天要處理大量的檔案，因此學習計畫書切不可寫的太長，一般不應超過800字，並且說明一個題目最好只用一個段落，段落前加上標題，如 My Choice of University of Toronto in Canada ,My career objective 等，以便使館的工作職員對您一段內容的中心思想一目了然。您的闡述應該清楚易懂。
最後需要重點說的是，因為學習計畫書在英語表達上要求非常有條理，邏輯嚴密，簡潔有力，這是大多數中國申請人所難以達到的，因為語法錯誤和邏輯關係的失誤往往會導致理解的偏差。因此請專門的機構由外籍專家進行語言上的修改。
當然，申請者還要根據自己的實際情況來設計構思讀書計畫書。並根據個人情況從不同角度說明以上方面的內容。
一篇好的study plan應該包括什麼
簽證職員大多時候10秒必需看完一份study plan,所以你寫study plan學習計畫的時候，應該力求言簡意賅,條理清晰。簡要模式
1。自報家門。例如：My name is XXX, I come from beijing XXXX college, and...2。申請的學校和專業。例如：I want to apply the PhD degree in YYYY University in ZZZZ.
3。申請專業和學校的緣由。大家可以根據自己的情況來完成內容。
4。學成以後的計畫。例如： I will go back to China after I completed my study in the Canada. And I will get a job in XXXX field。
5。禮節內容。例如：Thanks for taking your time to read my words. Kindly please consider my application and give a young ambitions man(lady) a chance to realize his/her dream.
6. 簽書畫押，呵呵。

study plan 案例3組
這裡有3個寫得還不錯的study plan模板,以供大家參考,當然其中只是框架,內容還需要您針對自己的申請內容填充study plan 1
I knew the information about ST.ANDREW'S CAMBRIDGE in Beijing International Education Fair. The flexible and variable course arrangement, vivid and vigorous class teaching, the teacher team with excellent performance and the 100% high proportion of students entering universities of a higher grade attracted me, I thought it is a college fit for me. Consulted with my parents, I decided to apply for study to this college. At present, I have received the documents, including the enrollment letter and expenses table etc. from this college.My study plan in England is as follows: I prepare to study in England for six years, from September 2000 to August 2006.First, I will study English course in SELECT ENGLISH of ST.ANDREW CAMBRIDGE with the period from September 2000 to August 2001.
Because I have the basis of studying English in China for four years, after the study in England for one year, I believe I will master English language proficiently to meet my own requirements of studying and living in England. The expenses of one year
are about ￡14000.
Then I will study A-level course for two years with the period from September 2001 to August 2003. The course is full-time with 20 class hours each week. I plan to study business programme, including accounting, business studies, economics, computer science and single subject mathematics etc. Annual expenses of studying in England are about ￡15000.According to the educational system of England, three courses in all the courses will be selected as the check-up condition when applying for study in the University, and I will make efforts to make my every course reach A level.If I can obtain good results in the study of A-level courses, I will select the university that is fit for me to continue my study according to my results.
I will continue to study the business programme. There are a large number of universities in England, I believe I can find an ideal university. I will get bachelorship after the study in the university for three years.After I get bachelorship certificate, I prepare to come back to China for development. The speedily developed economy of China creates innumerable challenges and opportunities. But the opportunity especially favors the person with preparation. The six-year study in England will give me the capital for accepting challenges, and make me own the condition of becoming an international business talent with high performance. What I will get is not only a business bachelorship, what's more important is that long-term business education makes me learn modern enterprise management way and commercial running mode, which is beneficial for future enterprise management. Because mastering English proficiently and having personal experience to European cultural background, I will deal with international contact with skill and ease by myself. After I obtain such superiority, I prepare to come back to China for helping my mother manage the family enterprise established by her, and enter into the high management level of the enterprise. Opening China welcomes international talents very much. Studying in England will help me to realize the life's leap.（簽名）18 June 2000

Study plan 3
My name is ***, l am now a f1rst-year student of Beijing ** High School. Since my parents are very busy with their work, I spend my spare time with my classmates mostly. In the ta1ks with my c1assmates, we often speak of our study direction and development in the coming days and know that some of them have gone abroad to study. So I also began to dream that someday I would pursue my further study abroad. One day when I got on line to 1ook up geographical data, I found New Zealand. Because I am very fond of geography, I become interested in the geographical position of New Zealand, just this made me have more understandings about New Zealand. New Zealand is a beautiful and richly endowed country with friend1y people, good public order and advanced education system as a member of the British Commonwealth, which makes her a good place to study in. After consu1ting with my parents, they decide to finance me to study in New Zea1and.My parents have only one daughter, I hope I could repay them and my motherland when I accomp1ish my studies in New Zealand and returm to China. I believe that at that time China must have ful1y developed, which will provide with much bigger space for me to put my talent to good use.
study plan寫作8大細節
一份好的留學計畫書（Study Plan）對於一份完整的學生簽證申請有著不可低估的影響是簽證申請的重要一個環節，它有可能決定你是不是能打開你的留學大門，因為客觀、合理的留學計畫能夠使閱讀它的簽證官相信你出國的唯一目的是讀書、而非其它的意向。因此怎樣書寫的文本才能避免“移民傾向”的判斷呢？一份好的留學計畫書（Study Plan）對於一份完整的學生簽證申請有著不可低估的影響是簽證申請的重要一個環節，它有可能決定你是不是能打開你的留學大門，因為客觀、合理的留學計畫能夠使閱讀它的簽證官相信你出國的唯一目的是讀書、而非其它的意向。因此怎樣書寫的文本才能避免“移民傾向”的判斷呢？
study plan 大致根據下面這5個問題寫的，這是使館的規定。
1.Why you wish to come to Canada to study at the school and in the program for which you have been accepted;
2. What is your overall educational goal
3. Why you are not pursuing less expensive alternatives in China (what are those alternatives? have you investigated them?)
4. What ties do you have to China that will lead you to return to China following your course of studies?
5. How will this Canadian diploma/degree increase your chances in the Chinese labour market
下面構總結了一些關於寫study plan的小技巧，因為如果寫不好的話，你的簽證就可能失敗，特別是不能讓VO看出來有移民傾向，大多數的簽證官對你移民傾向的判定都是根據這個來判的。
1.字數不要寫太多，一共5個問題，每個問題回答幾十個字就行了，這樣一篇文章下來500-600字就足夠了，因為寫的多了，也許會出現什麼錯誤，所謂言多必失。
2.寫第一個問題的時候，必然會介紹那個地方有什麼優勢，這個一定不能多寫，最多2句點綴一下就好，要不簽證官會以為你不想回來了。接下來對你申請的學校進行介紹，這裡應該對你的學校有讚揚和表達出嚮往的意思。
3.第二個關於目標，這裡每個人的情況都不一樣，但我覺得這裡可以提一下自己回國的想法，但不要多寫，因為下面還要解釋。
4.第三個問題可以寫那個地方的教育質量了，教學水平了，一些優勢，結合你申請的學校和自身的專業寫。這裡可以強調下這個專業學成歸國後的一些優勢。
5.第四個問題資金來源的解釋就根據你準備的材料去說就行。
6.下面就是回國計畫，這個相當重要的，個人覺得要想不讓簽證官懷疑，就必須寫的這個專業在中國的前景很好，最好用數字說明，數字是最有說服力的（不要任意編造，用事實說話）。
7.寫下畢業後怎么樣在中國發展也可以，一定不要有在國外的想法（有也不能寫出來），比如學什麼回來乾什麼都要寫到。
8.感謝簽證官員對你的申請，能夠給以重視和考慮。寫完後請人幫你看看修改下，修改出一些有邏輯錯誤等等的問題，讓這篇文章達到最好。整篇文章完成後要讓人看起來很自然，協調，前後關聯比較緊密，這樣一篇不錯的study plan就完成了。
My study plan is to pursue a Ph.D. at the x x x University in Canada concentrating on the discipline of robotics. This is a natural progression for me, because I already possess a BA and an MA both related to control, computer science and robotics research. Further evidence of my consistent commitment to and expertise in my chosen field is my position as a Research Assistant for the xxx Mobile Robots (THMR) Laboratory. Now, after dedicating eight years towards fulfilling my objective of becoming a fully-fledged authority on robotics, I feel well prepared for a doctoral program on the topic. Xxx University offers me the best possible opportunities to acquire leading edge knowledge and later contribute to robotics advancements in China.
Why come to Canada to study in Robotics at x x x University?
I selected Xxx University because its research focus, facilities and professors are absolutely ideal to help me meet my precise goals. My choice was made after comparing and contrasting carefully several different engineering schools. While many universities conduct investigations into robotic theories, this institution’s Faculty of Engineering’s specialist trait is research into robots used in industry. Not only will I be acquiring practical knowledge in my specific field, I will also be gaining expertise that is in great demand by industrial sectors in China. Additionally, I am attracted to the fact that the Faculty of Engineering holds strong ties with industrial organizations including the C-CORE. The Faculty partners provide substantial funding, advanced facilities and suitable test environments for research into robots. Furthermore, the PhD supervisors are C-CORE Chairs in intelligent systems, which indicates that experts with extensive and pioneering knowledge will appropriately guide my research and use me for excellent projects. I also chose these professors because not only will I be expected to study my particular area, I additionally must acquire a broad education regarding the theory and application of many kinds of robots. Therefore, as I learn widely about ground robots, underground robots and group robots, I will be supervised capably on my area of infrastructure-free mobile robots.
Why not pursue less expensive alternatives in China?
Of course, to obtain a PhD in China was my first preference because it is my home. I therefore considered applying for the doctoral program at x x x University in China, especially as I have worked there and it is the leading university in China regarding this subject. However, while China is cheaper than Canada, the issue of cost did not determine my choice of university. Due to my knowledge and skills, the x x x University in Canada is offering me the necessary financial assistance to fully cover tuition and living expenses. Most important for me was the right research environment. Sadly, China is not the best option presently. I know from first hand experience that while x x x University has the broadest robots research in China, it mainly focuses on ground level single robots and I already have considerable knowledge of this area. Plus there is the key fact that most of the leading robot professionals in China were trained in the west. They left China because western countries still hold the finest technology and preeminent teaching. Like them, I wish to benefit from a North American education and put it to good use upon my return to China.
What is my overall educational objective?
My overall educational objective is to use the PhD as a vehicle to become a world-class specialist in robotics, especially underground robots. Exposure now to cutting edge technological breakthroughs and participation in advanced projects would prepare me for a brilliant long-term career in China. I will furthermore use my education to help China integrate itself with the global academic environment, because I will present papers at seminars and international conferences.
How will this Canadian degree increase my chances in the Chinese labor market?
My prospects in the Chinese labor market would be extraordinary after acquisition of a PhD in robotics. Robots are vital technological tools for Chinese industries and manufacturing, which must upgrade their automation features to keep pace with international standards. To give one example, China is investing billions in city subways, and underground robots inevitably will play an important role in their construction. Because China’s requirements for robot experts greatly exceeds the number of talented professionals, those in possession of the information on the latest international developments and skills applicable to handle projects at the most challenging level will be in great demand. Furthermore, aside from hands-on knowledge, what I would offer an employer was evidence that I had acquired new concepts, a fresh mindset, the ability to conduct senior level independent research and a broad international perspective. My competitors – PhD holders from Chinese universities - would be able to make less impressive claims in these areas. Additionally, the Chinese government encourages returnees with preferential policies, such as ample funds for research and favorable conditions for establishing businesses. I can state with confidence that the Canadian degree would open doors for me – to construction enterprises, research institutions and multinational companies. In China, they all would view me as a precious potential member of their personnel. A PhD holder from a western country is seen as having a positive impact to play in the development of a domestic organization, not just in their specific job but also their approach to work. PhD holding returnees are valued as being cooperative team workers, forward thinking and highly proactive when faced with challenges.
What ties do I have to China that will lead me to return to China following my course of study?
I hold plans regarding how I aim to use my degree in the long-term when I return to China, and have already secured backing from family and colleagues to facilitate their realization. Those plans include using my research findings to establish my own robotics high technology company, with the help of my father and a professor at x x x University. My father is an official with extensive connections, and he is in a position to provide his full support in R & D financing and market development. Through him, I can navigate my way through red tape and meet the people with the knowledge regarding potential business. With regard to the professor, he is my former advisor and my current employer, so we know each other well and have a proven fruitful relationship. He has a track record of completing many successful projects for Chinese enterprises, such as the x x x Construction Machinery Group and the x x x Group, and maintains close ties with them, so the likelihood is our reputation will bring good clients. Alternatively, I will return to x x x University after my degree in Canada, because my ties to this top university are strong. My advisor has said I would be welcome to return, and my target would be to set up a new robot research center at the university. This is entirely feasible due to my contacts. With my advisor’s support, the center would attract research funds from leading organizations.
In short, the PhD program at Canada’s x x x University serves all of my important short, medium and long-term goals. I will invest all my efforts in research, and then return to China for an exciting career.
