You should know that most art graduate students are looking forward to applying to famous universities in the UK! But the admission rate of famous British art schools is no less than that of thousands of soldiers walking alone the wooden bridge. So how to stand out from the crowd? Today, I would like to summarize a few points for you Master of Arts students apply for UK The most important part of famous art schools~

　　 British art study achievement points, do you need achievement points for art study?

　 1、 Apply early! First come, first served seats in famous British schools

Generally, the application for art graduate students to study abroad in British universities will be opened one year in advance, so the application for study abroad will be opened in July September of the previous year. In addition, some famous universities or popular majors will have certain quota restrictions for art graduate students. Therefore, whether the students have excellent achievements or weak background, they need to submit the application as soon as possible to take the lead, Don't let the art study abroad program "lose at the starting line". Let's see what the art graduate students who got the offer from British universities this year and who are estimated to have set foot in the UK now say

Although it is highly recommended that you apply early, once you apply late, don't be afraid!

　　 2、 British art schools pay attention to credit points

Different from the famous American art schools that attach importance to the scores of sat and other examinations, the famous British art schools pay more attention to their usual scores. The achievement points, the quantitative expression of the usual achievements, have become one of the most important conditions for art students to apply to famous British schools. However, it should be noted that the calculation of GPA in famous British art schools is different from that in China, which is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, some domestic courses do not necessarily count GPA, and second, the calculation method of GPA in famous and non famous schools is different.

First of all, courses such as Maggie and PE are generally included in the calculation of GPA in China, but a large number of British famous schools do not count GPA for these courses. At the same time, British famous schools pay more attention to the results of your professional courses, and professional courses will account for more GPA than in China.

On the other hand, art overseas graduate students applying for art study in famous British schools generally have the complex of famous schools. When calculating the grade points, the grade point requirements for students from non 211 institutions are much higher than those from 211 institutions. Some schools even only accept students from 211 institutions. So what if the results are average?

Another feature of British famous schools when reviewing the grade points is to observe whether your grades have a large and continuous upward trend, because professional courses are often arranged in the next few semesters. At this time, if your grades keep the upward trend, or rise sharply, it shows that your learning ability is strong, or there is great potential in the major.

When calculating grade points, many famous British schools pay more attention to professional courses after the first year of major school, and the grade points of professional courses are often higher than those of basic courses. The papers of famous universities in the last year are also very important, because many famous universities in Britain will account for a large proportion in the total score.

　　 3、 Art graduate students study in famous British schools and attach importance to the improvement of application materials

The preparation of application materials for studying abroad in British arts is roughly the same as that in other countries. Suggestions: documentary materials (self recommendation letters, recommendation letters), academic materials (undergraduate diploma, undergraduate degree certificates and complete transcripts, and students in universities can first provide proof of ongoing study and transcripts of at least six semesters), language scores and other supplementary materials (work experience, works, etc.), All the above materials should be provided in English, and the academic materials should also be provided with the original stamped in both Chinese and English, and should preferably be printed on the head paper printed with the school logo.

How can you stand out when applying to a famous British art graduate school?

　　 4、 British famous art schools attach importance to interview results

Some schools do not have enough credit points, but if PS explains it properly in the application for studying abroad in British arts, they may give you an interview opportunity, because famous British schools value soft power such as work experience, and are willing to understand students' personal situation through documents.

If you have excellent performance in the interview and achieved high interview results, then the door of famous art schools will be opened to you again. And among the schools that offer interview opportunities, there are many famous British schools. What if the interview fails repeatedly?

　　 5、 Language scores are also important for art students to apply to famous British schools

Many famous British schools can submit language scores after obtaining an offer, but this does not mean that they do not pay attention to language scores. On the contrary, many famous British schools have clear language requirements. In addition, the British government also has IELTS score standards for international students. If you do not have enough IELTS scores, it will inevitably affect the handling of study visas and directly affect your success in studying abroad.

British universities allow applicants to submit applications in advance without language scores, but having a qualified IELTS score will significantly increase the success rate of the application. If the applicant's IELTS score is not ideal, it should not be reflected in the application first, and then concentrate on improving the English level after getting the conditional admission. In addition, many universities with high rankings have begun to set language barriers for applications for some popular majors. For example, all courses of Manchester University Business School need to provide IELTS scores of no less than 6.5 when submitting applications. If they do not provide IELTS scores, they will directly refuse to submit applications. Applicants do not understand the situation and blindly send application materials, which is undoubtedly a waste of money and time.

　　 6、 Studying in a famous British art school is important, but choosing a suitable major is the key

You should know that choosing a major that suits you is far more important than relying on university rankings. You should first choose a major that suits you, then look at its professional ranking, and finally look at the overall ranking. When choosing a major to apply for art study abroad, you should also pay attention to whether the school has relevant majors. For example, if you want to apply for accounting and finance, you should pay attention to whether the school has relevant majors, whether the courses are recognized by some associations, and so on. Generally, British art overseas applicants will apply for a degree in the taught program, but this does not mean that the school will have a taught course in accounting and finance. Maybe the major will be set under the research program, so you must pay attention to this point when selecting, otherwise it is likely that the application will fail due to the problem of course selection when applying for art overseas. Popular majors are very difficult to apply!

The above study guide of British art explains the achievements that the current famous British schools are concerned about and a perfect preparation in advance. Everyone must develop in all aspects and have a good performance in all aspects, so as to gain advantages in the application of studying in British art.
