Can graduate students who fail to pass the exam study abroad? The hot topic recently is preparing to go abroad after failing the postgraduate entrance examination. But many students are concerned about whether it is OK to temporarily change tracks to study abroad after failing the postgraduate entrance examination? The answer is yes. If you fail in the postgraduate entrance examination, you can go abroad to study, and you can go abroad to study cross majors. Today, studying in Natural Light Arts will help you to study abroad after the postgraduate entrance examination?

As the publication date of the postgraduate entrance examination results approaches, the number of "postgraduate entrance examination party" students coming to me for consultation has increased recently. The whole year of 2020 will be affected by the epidemic, and college students will spend only a few hours in school. In addition, there will be great employment pressure, the trend of education internalization, and the reform of art examinations More and more people are standing on the single wooden bridge for postgraduate entrance examination.

In order not to disappoint the hope of learning professional ability and improving self competitiveness, students are also actively looking for other plans, and studying abroad is the best Plan B. Of course, I have reservations about the priority of studying abroad and postgraduate entrance examination. Today, we are going to discuss some acclimatization problems faced by the temporary replacement of runways.

At present, students' questions mainly focus on: Are you ready now? Is the success rate of studying abroad high? What major can I choose without overseas learning experience? Today, I will talk with you about how to prepare for art study in the post graduate examination era?

　　 1. Study Abroad after Failure in Postgraduate Entrance Examination - Time Planning

After the Spring Festival every year, the results of the postgraduate entrance examination in various places are announced one after another. Now this stage is also the time when the "postgraduate entrance examination party" is most anxious. When I face this kind of student consultation, I will first determine everyone's intention, whether to consider studying abroad as a retreat or a last resort.

　　 Because no matter from the perspective of learning methods, admission requirements, and application materials, there are essential differences between art study abroad and postgraduate entrance examination. They are two parallel future choices, as well as two different ways of planning and preparing for higher education.

The art study abroad needs a relatively abundant preparation period. According to the experience of natural light over the years, most of our graduate students who apply to British and American universities start from the stage of sophomore and junior, with the study period ranging from 8-15 months. If you apply to small language countries such as Italy, Northern Europe, Japan, or interdisciplinary students, the preparation period will also be lengthened accordingly.

In addition to standardized scores, the most time-consuming and essential difference between the preparation materials for studying abroad and postgraduate entrance examination is the collection of works. We have stressed many times before that, There are some differences between the works that students have done in college, even their graduation works, and their overseas works We still need a certain period to adjust and sublimate according to the requirements and priorities of colleges and universities, and even need professional teachers to provide guidance.

To sum up, It is basically not feasible to complete the speed change overtaking from postgraduate entrance examination to study abroad in a short time If this year's students want to consult the application of 21fall, it is definitely too late. If we are preparing for the application season next year, we don't have much time left.

　　 2. Study abroad after failure in postgraduate entrance examination - difficulty in entering higher education

　　 "This year's postgraduate entrance examination is too difficult."

To be honest, every year parents or students who come to me for consultation will send out this kind of exclamation, especially this year.

Although affected by the epidemic in 2020, the state actively advocates the expansion of college enrollment to balance the problem of difficult employment. But the difficulty of this year's postgraduate entrance examination is also obvious to all. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, 105 of the 121 "double first-class" universities have expanded their enrollment to different degrees, Among them, 32 art colleges and universities have expanded their enrollment to less than 1000 people This year, the total number of candidates for the postgraduate entrance examination has increased from 1.77 million in 2016 to 3.77 million. The so-called enrollment expansion is actually a drop in the bucket.

In addition, this year, with "Big Brother" Yangmei as the leader, many art colleges and universities cancelled the offline professional course examination, In English+politics+art history+works collection The art postgraduate entrance examination has also become a one shot deal, which requires people to study hard for several months before they can achieve results.

Since it is known that the postgraduate entrance examination is so difficult, is it easy to study abroad?

Although there is no obvious difference in the difficulty of application between domestic and foreign top universities, compared with the learning income and the enrollment rate of famous universities, The success rate of overseas college applications is indeed slightly higher than that of domestic postgraduate entrance examination 。

First, The number of overseas famous universities is several times that of domestic universities Each year, the number of students enrolled in different majors of the eight major art schools in China will not exceed three figures, and in recent years, the number has been decreasing, As of January this year, the number of natural light students who received offers from top 10 universities in the United States and Britain has exceeded 1000.

Secondly, the application process and requirements are different. The assessment of domestic colleges and universities emphasizes cultural literacy and professional skills, which means that students need years of accumulation and artistic learning to achieve; But overseas colleges and universities pay more attention to critical thinking, practical ability and comprehensive aesthetic quality, The cultivation of these abilities can be transformed in a short time only through correct learning methods and intensive learning processes.

Finally, the most attractive conditions for overseas art education are advanced teaching resources and considerable learning benefits, Whether it is a subdivided art discipline, a project based teaching method, practical experience in connection with business, an interdisciplinary studio creation environment, and 4-year immersive overseas humanistic resources And so on, can be transformed into the most fertile land for students to become useful and obtain employment.

　　 3. Go abroad to study after failure in postgraduate entrance examination - choose schools and majors

The last point is how to determine the major of studying abroad. There are few students who will choose to apply for the postgraduate entrance examination in China. For one thing, the division of art and design majors in domestic universities is clear, and it is difficult to apply for cross majors; Second, there is also a threshold for applying for the exam.

However, compared with overseas colleges and universities, there are more colleges and universities, more majors, and even different countries and colleges with the same major have different priorities, so many students consider changing majors when consulting and studying abroad.

　　 On the premise of sufficient preparation period for students, I encourage students to try to study different design possibilities . Because many graduate students I usually contact do not have much hands-on experience. Although I have studied for four years, they may still be vague about many art majors, such as what is the difference between graphic design and visual communication, and what is called urban planning? What are you studying in these majors? What does real graphic design include?

But since they want to continue their studies in school, they must have something that they are fascinated with. At this time, they can deeply study the part they are interested in, and then find out what they really want to do. Maybe it will become a career you can develop in the future.

So when we are choosing schools and majors to study abroad, if we don't understand the true meaning of these majors, we'd better make a list first, write down everything you are interested in on paper, and then go to find some closer directions and colleges.

Secondly, we will see the teaching philosophy of this school. Because the essence of design is to find and solve problems, some schools attach great importance to innovation, creative thinking, and future leadership; In some schools, the educational philosophy attaches great importance to practical ability, Know yourself as well as the colleges and universities, and follow the result oriented principle to obtain the highest "return rate" of study abroad planning.

But at the same time, we should be clear that, To compete with students who have been preparing for a period of time for an offer from the same university, the total amount of money needed to pay is the same, and the difficulty will not be discounted. So we should be more efficient and planning in the process of preparing to study abroad, but the premise of all this is that we should establish a clear understanding of art study abroad.

Of course, for the postgraduate entrance examination party, the long-term independent learning mode, the students have accumulated a good foundation of hand painting and hands-on ability, which can save a lot of professional learning time and adjustment of learning state. Compared with the emphasis on skills in the domestic postgraduate entrance examination, the review of the work collection of foreign colleges and universities pays more attention to students' creativity and potential. Students are breaking through the way of learning, The creation process of finding self style also needs to find the correct teaching system to help.

Above all, I have listed in detail the parallel paths of overseas art study and domestic postgraduate entrance examination, hoping that through objective analysis, students' prejudice and underestimation of art study and art majors can be dispelled.

With the development of the times, the demand for cutting-edge talents in all walks of life is more urgent. Foreign art and design disciplines have been differentiated and integrated into a variety of emerging disciplines that will function in the future with the development of society. The contents taught by different majors in different universities are quite different.

How to choose an interesting, developing and powerful major and college according to its future development direction, ability improvement, social future development trend, and talent demand in the domestic employment market... is the best time for change in life at any time.
