It's definitely possible for your girl to transfer her academic career to the UK, but it may not be easy. Here are a few things to consider:
- Universities in the UK will want to see that her degrees are from properly accredited schools that meet their standards. The top universities in the Balkan countries should be fine.
- Her work and research from those schools needs to be high quality and competitive at a UK level. Publishing papers, getting grants, etc will help show that.
- She may need to do some additional training or get UK qualifications like a Master's to bring her qualifications fully in line with their systems.
- Building contacts and relationships with profs at UK schools now could help when applying for roles later. Attending conferences, collaborating on projects virtually.
- Experience teaching or research roles in the Balkans first would make her a stronger candidate versus just having the degrees.
- Top schools may expect candidates from overseas to have quite a few years experience already before moving over.
So it's definitely possible with the right credentials and networking, but may take a multi-step process over a few years. The top unis get a lot of interest. But with hard work she's got a good shot of a fresh start in the UK academia. Just gotta play the long game sometimes!
I am not sure, but she could try places like Imperial College, London or Durham. Of course, with any research degree, she could try Oxford or Cambridge. The latter might be better.
