What kind of students are suitable for studying for one-year master's degree? The above natural light tells you that the discipline of one-year master degree study abroad is not water, and even to some extent, its threshold is more stringent than that of majors with two or more years of schooling. Therefore, although the one-year system is not suitable for students and the length of schooling is short, it can be said that it has great advantages, but not all students are suitable to choose the one-year system. Now, let's talk about what kind of students are suitable for studying for one-year master degree?
For example, Hu Hu, who applied for clothing design in 2019 by Natural Light, had no professional learning experience because of her zero foundation. She not only did not know about clothing design, but also had never set foot in art design. So when choosing to apply, she finally decided to re read the undergraduate course after careful consideration and communication with the professional tutor of Natural Light. In Hu Hu's opinion, her study abroad is not just to obtain a diploma, but to really learn something, so she should go step by step, first lay a solid foundation, and then start more creative and in-depth project learning.
What kind of students are suitable for studying for one-year master degree?
First of all, I want to give everyone a preventive shot. Because the one-year system is not enough and the number of courses is not compressed, it actually means that compared with other long-term education options, courses of the same major may require you to bear more curriculum pressure and academic burden than others.
Like the SVA I mentioned briefly at the beginning of today New York Institute of Visual Arts The two photography majors have two choices: 1 year full time and 2 years part time. Although the overall course content and teaching are the same, compared with 2 years part time, the one-year program has much higher implicit requirements for students themselves. First of all, you need to have a strong ability to withstand pressure. Second, you need to have certain professional resources and experience.
Therefore, for the first kind of students, if you are a (zero basis) major transfer applicant for a master's degree, or do not have too much professional experience, or are not so self-discipline and compression resistant, I do not recommend that you choose to study for a one-year master's degree. In fact, two-year study can let you gradually adapt and gradually accumulate certain resources and industry capabilities.
The second category is more suitable for one-year students, mainly those who have to reduce their schooling due to irresistible factors. In fact, such students are relatively common in art study abroad. Because of some irresistible factors, such as age, family, economic conditions, work, etc., they have to choose one-year master students.
Third, if you already have a very solid professional ability or some relevant experience, and the purpose of learning is to help yourself to carry out in-depth practice, accumulate research projects, and broaden the professional dimension, you can consider applying for a one-year master's degree. In fact, it's just like most colleges and universities have two categories of architecture majors. If you have accumulated very solid professional ability during your undergraduate course, and have independent ideas and ability to solve projects; Or even if you are zero based Portfolio training The course has acquired relatively comprehensive and strong professional ability, and they can basically solve large-scale professional problems and projects independently, so these two types of students can actually choose one-year majors.
By comparison, we can find that sometimes the one-year system has higher implicit requirements for students than the two-year system or more. Because the one-year system does not mean that the curriculum is reduced, nor does it mean that you can "cut corners" to get a diploma. Therefore, the one-year master's degree in studying abroad is actually more demanding for students' ability to withstand pressure, awareness of independent planning, and accumulation of professional foundation. So if you are still hesitant about whether you are suitable to study for a one-year master's degree, then perhaps you can make a comprehensive assessment from your own perspective; Or you can choose Natural Light senior application planning team to help you sort out the application and guide the planning, so as to make a better judgment.
