Art students from different academic backgrounds can make their own plans for studying abroad, according to an expert from Bank of America in Philip Burkart. If you are a high school student with a background in painting or other art fields, you can apply for a preparatory course, which is a preparatory course for undergraduate study and lasts only one year. After graduation, you can enter the related art fields of undergraduate colleges for further study. Students who have no art study background, but are interested in the art field and have artistic dreams can apply for the PreArts basic course of CSVPA. This course will have some general basic art courses such as sketching and painting, which is very suitable for freshmen.
For college students, such as art students majoring in visual communication, they can apply for the last year of undergraduate studies in the UK. CSVPA campus usually has two undergraduate courses to choose from: graphic design and fashion design. You can get a bachelor's degree from Kingston College, University of London after graduation. Undergraduate students can directly transfer to relevant courses in British universities according to specific conditions, and the application process for studying abroad is basically the same as that for other majors, but attention should be paid to preparing students' portfolios.
It is understood that the portfolio is an important basis for foreign institutions to evaluate applicants. When applying for a job or interviewing, students can show their artistic skills and strength by showing their works. An excellent work is even more important than a wonderful personal statement. Foreign universities have different requirements for the collection of works, but all of them attach great importance to the creative process of students' works without exception. Therefore, in the collection of student works provided, we must clearly describe the creative process of each work with words and pictures. In addition, it is necessary to explain the creative intention of the work from the aspects of theme, production process, first draft, lack of materials and cutting.
In addition to the portfolio, art students need the following conditions to study abroad.
1, language scores
TOEFL/IELTS: For British and American countries, students need to have the language ability to prove TOEFL or IELTS scores, in which TOEFL is an exam in the United States and IELTS is an exam in Commonwealth countries, but many schools recognize the scores of both exams, which depends on the requirements of different schools and different majors. Generally, TOEFL needs more than 60 points (full score 120), and IELTS needs more than 5 points (full score 9).
2. Personal documents
Including personal introduction, academic papers, research direction and study plan. The main purpose is to state your own strengths, interests, ideas and research on your chosen major. Of course, this is written in a foreign language.
3. The school's GPA
That is, the average grade point, that is, the academic performance of high school or university, can be obtained from the teachers of the school.
4. Other award items
Letter of recommendation: If celebrities, teachers, professors and principals make recommendations, the number of applications will increase greatly.
Internships and experiences: Foreign universities attach great importance to personal experiences, including internships, short-term overseas courses and study tours. It is best to have the relevant certificate of completion.
Awards and certificates: If you have an award-winning personal work or an authoritative certificate of a certain skill, it is also a good plus item when applying.
