Classification of foreign art research
Art study abroad is generally divided into two categories according to art students: art study abroad and music study abroad. When foreign universities recruit domestic art majors, they usually add additional tests for art majors on the basis of cultural courses. Art majors in overseas universities are generally divided into Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, sculpture, calligraphy, graphic design, industry, environmental art, clothing, animation, photography, advertising, music, dance, film and television, hosting and so on.
Career prospects
Art study abroad can be roughly divided into "applied art" and "traditional art". The former includes all kinds of design and production majors, while the latter refers to vocal music, dance and art majors in the traditional sense. From the overall situation of international students, the proportion of applied arts students is higher, because now international students pay more attention to employment and practicality after graduation, while the proportion of traditional art students studying abroad is slightly lower.
However, this difference is different in different countries, which is mainly determined by the different curriculum and subject advantages of art colleges in different countries. In colleges and universities in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, applied art is less than traditional art, accounting for 30% and traditional art for 70%. This is mainly because the traditional professional status of the three major national art colleges in the world is higher, the recognition is higher, the teaching staff is more advantageous, and the teaching tradition is better. In terms of employment, applied art and traditional art are also different. The employment of applied art students is more popular, while the employment of traditional art students depends on their personal situation, because each field is different under the influence of art.
How much do art students need to study abroad?
Briefly introduce the basic expenses around the major American art study intention colleges:
Tuition: about 40 thousand yuan/year.
Accommodation: about 10000 yuan/year.
Living expenses: about 20,000 yuan/year (clothing, food, communication, etc. )
Zero zero always adds up, which is common in 500 thousand years.
The above is the overall average of the cost of studying in the United States.
The group applying for undergraduate study in American art may be relatively rich in economy, because it has to bear the total cost of about * * * 2 million in four years. Moreover, at present, the trend of younger age is becoming more and more obvious. Going to the United States in junior high school and high school is not affordable for ordinary families.
However, the door to studying in the United States has not been closed to us, because the study time of graduate students is shorter than other stages, mostly two years, and some schools are three years.
Tip: By the way, although the two-year academic system has stricter admission standards for students than the three-year system, it can save one year's expenses, but in the high-quality teaching environment in the United States, students can gain more knowledge in one year and it is not easy to fall behind the teaching progress. For example, the interior design of new york Institute of Interior Design (NYSID) is divided into MFA- 1(3 years) and MFA-2(2 years), and the school will issue the admission results according to the quality of the portfolio when submitting the application.
In fact, in the preparation stage of studying abroad, the first factor to consider in terms of cost is family savings, followed by family annual income.
Britain, England
London: Consistent with the basic situation in the United States, the overall annual cost is around 500,000. However, RCA, UAL, UCL, AA, Goldsmith, Kingston and other first-class institutions are all concentrated on the choice of relatively wealthy families.
Outside London: such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Southampton, Nottingham, Birmingham and other places, the overall cost is about 300 thousand a year, and there are also good educational resources, but they need to be selected according to the specific majors of specific institutions. For example, the jewelry design in Birmingham is very good, but other majors are not as famous as jewelry design.
France
When sending children to study abroad, parents are probably most concerned about the cost. Because public universities in countries where art students aspire to study abroad, such as France and Germany, are free of tuition fees, they only need to bear the living expenses. Therefore, if you can apply for public schools, the cost of domestic and foreign consumption is comparable.
Tuition:
Studying in public schools is free of tuition, and you only need to pay the living expenses. Therefore, it takes about 6.5438 yuan +0.5 million yuan to finish the undergraduate course and 250,000 yuan to finish the master's degree.
Studying in a private school requires about RMB 300,000 to complete the undergraduate course.
Taking students majoring in fine arts as an example, the fees charged by public schools in China and France are as follows:
Tuition fee: in China, it ranges from 8,000 to 20,000 yuan due to different schools; France is free of tuition.
Years of study: four years for undergraduate and three years for master in China; France has a three-year undergraduate course and a two-year master's degree.
Living expenses: 7,000 ~ 25,000 yuan/year in China; France pays 30,000 ~ 40,000 yuan/year, but the state provides 40% ~ 60% subsidies.
Germany
Germany is the most developed country in industrial design in the world and the hometown of musicians. Students interested in this field can choose Germany. Many public universities in Germany do not charge or only charge a small amount of tuition fees, but they have requirements for German proficiency, and all the fees are 80,000-90,000 yuan a year. Well-known art colleges include: Berlin University of the Arts, Stuttgart National Academy of Plastic Arts, Weimar Liszt Conservatory of Music, Berlin Conservatory of Music and Hamburg Conservatory of Music. Their majors are product design, piano and artistic modeling.
The social order in Germany is good. The German government allows college students to work duty-free and has set a protective minimum remuneration standard. In addition to various benefits, such as free medical services, students can also enjoy other preferential policies for students, such as student tickets for transportation and entertainment. Students in China spend an average of 500-600 euros a month. (including accommodation, insurance, communication, transportation and food).
The above is a brief introduction about the cost of studying abroad for art students. I hope it can help art students who are preparing to study abroad, and they can choose a suitable country to study in according to their actual situation (economic situation).
