Students who are preparing to apply for art and design majors for studying abroad, how do you prepare a collection of art works for studying abroad? What are the common problems in art study abroad? The following Natural Light Art Study Abroad FAQ will help you apply for art study abroad. However, for students applying for arts and design majors, it is suggested that they should start preparing in their sophomore year/junior year! To get down to business, the following are the most common concerns of international students majoring in art and design:

　　 1、 Application for art study abroad Time planning issues

This is definitely a platitude. Every year, how many students delay the application for art study and art study abroad due to lack of time planning. Study abroad should be prepared as early as possible, and do not cram temporarily. For most students, they hope that they will finish the college entrance examination in June/graduate from college, and go to study in September/autumn of the same year. For art and design students, it is recommended that they begin to prepare for their sophomore year/junior year!

　　 For example:

Xiao Zhang is a junior student this year and graduated in June 2018. He wants to study art in September 2018.

Now, Xiao Zhang will begin to prepare his art study abroad portfolio (the production cycle of the portfolio is generally about 6 months) and learn the language (IELTS, TOEFL or small languages). Then, he will prepare all the art study abroad portfolio, language and art study abroad application materials at the end of this year and submit the application. At the beginning of the next year, he will generally receive the admission results from the school.

After receiving the offer, they began to prepare for visa application, ticket purchase, etc.

At the same time, wait until June 2018, when you graduate from high school/university, and get your diploma, degree certificate, and transcripts of three years of high school/four years of college, you will complete the application materials.

Everything is ready, and the study abroad career begins in September.

You can not apply for colleges and universities just because you want to apply. There is a specific application time. If you miss this time, then, unfortunately, you have to wait for the next year.

　　 2. Questions about the language of application for art study abroad

There is a reference to "language" in the above time plan, which refers to different kinds of language requirements that need to be submitted according to different countries' colleges and universities, such as IELTS, TOEFL, Italian, German, Japanese and other minor language examinations.

Language is the rigid demand for studying abroad. It determines whether you can go abroad to study.

Language can not be attacked in a short time. It takes time and energy to accumulate.

Of course, some countries have also set up "preparatory courses", "language courses" and "double admission", lowering the language requirements. However, learning language well is not only helpful for your application, but also beneficial for your future classes abroad and life.

　　 3. How to prepare a collection of overseas art works?

Different from the traditional study abroad majors (business, science, management, etc.), the application for study abroad in art and design majors needs to submit a "collection of works". This collection of works for study abroad in art is very important for students to apply. It is also a new need for study abroad in art, and determines whether you can go to a good foreign school.

Different schools and majors have different requirements for the collection of works. For example, CSM Fashion Design undergraduate requires that a mini portfolio be submitted before the collection of works is submitted, and only after it is approved can it be qualified to submit a complete collection of works. For example, Parsons requires applicants to submit an additional "Parsons Challenge" project when applying.

This requires students to determine their own school selection before making the work collection, and then make the work collection according to the requirements and style of the school.

Compared with the application documents and transcripts, the collection of works is the part that best reflects a student's professional level, design style and potential. Students need to take it seriously. The most basic two principles are to share with everyone: original and complete projects.

As for personal style, content logic, work meaning, etc. are higher requirements for a good collection of works.

　　 4. Selection of colleges and universities applying for art study abroad

Of course, everyone wants to go to a good school, such as Harvard, Imperial College, Cambridge and other famous schools. No one does not want to go, but many people do not think about these two problems:

1. Is a good college suitable for you?

2. Those famous schools have admitted you. Are you able to graduate successfully?

　　 Take the famous art and design schools for example:

When it comes to studying abroad in fashion design, students can only think of two schools, Parsons in the United States and CSM in the United Kingdom. Study Abroad in Fashion Design | Study Abroad in Art What are the characteristics and advantages of the four major fashion design colleges in the world

First of all, it is not easy for these two schools to apply for study abroad in fashion design. Every year, the number of Chinese students applying for study abroad can exceed three figures, but the number of students admitted is very small.

Then, let's talk about the style of colleges and universities. CSM likes to fly in the air and look strange. Parsons is more commercial than CSM.

If you are a student who likes to innovate and doesn't like to play tricks, St. Martin is more suitable for you. If you want to be your own clothing brand after graduation, Parsons may be more suitable for you.

Finally, let's talk about graduation. A famous school sounds awe inspiring, but it also means that the competition here is more fierce. If there is no student who can do both, even if he applies to such a school, he may be eliminated because he can't keep pace with other students. The competition is fierce and cruel.

School selection can be summed up in one sentence: ranking first, style second, comprehensive consideration, is the correct solution.

　　 5. Budget for applying for studying abroad in arts

This part is generally combined with the choice of countries studying abroad, because different countries spend different amounts of money on studying abroad.

The cost of studying abroad mainly consists of two parts: tuition+living expenses.

About 300000 to 400000 a year in the United States;

About 200000 to 400000 a year in Britain;

About 200000 to 300000 yuan a year in Australia;

In Italy, France, Germany and other European countries, the amount is about 150000 to 250000 private and 100000 public;

Japan and other Asian countries account for about 200000 yuan a year.

Students can choose their country according to their family's actual situation, and act according to their ability.
