​📣 GPEDU Membership Series is Officially Launched! 📣

​Dear students, thank you for your continuous support and trust in GPEDU! As our community continues to grow, we have noticed more and more students raising questions in our groups, such as:

• ​Academic writing challenges

• ​Confusions regarding Master’s and PhD applications

• ​Adaptation to studying abroad and identity-related concerns

• ​Questions about research directions, methodologies, and career paths

• ​Desire for mentor-style guidance and experience sharing

​To provide more systematic and stable support while maintaining the high quality of our official group, we are officially launching the GPEDU Professional Membership System.

​Why Launch the Membership?

​Over the past year, we received numerous requests from students:

​“Is there a place where I can ask academic questions?”
“Can I talk to senior students or alumni about application issues?”
“Can I get more precise information?”
“Can someone help me review my research design proposal methodology?”
“I have questions about cultural identity research—can I discuss them with someone?”

​In response, we have formed a professional team composed of top-tier graduate students and doctoral researchers, including:

​🎓 Students and alumni from Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Manchester, Edinburgh
🎓 Majors in Education, Linguistics, Sociology, Psychology, International Development, TESOL, and other humanities and social sciences fields
🎓 Overseas doctoral alumni, lecturers, researchers, and university faculty

​They will be part of the membership system to provide truly professional, continuous, and reliable support.
