First, the academic system is short, the cost performance is high, and the artistic atmosphere is strong.

Generally speaking, it takes only three years to study for a university honor (bachelor's degree) in Britain, and only 1 year to obtain most master's degrees, while master's degrees in other countries generally take 2-3 years. Therefore, choosing to study in the UK virtually saves money and time.

Second, the courses offered in Britain are rich and all kinds of pure design skills are available.

The following are several British professional colleges and their professional directions:

RCA: interior design, service design, graphic design, visual communication, fashion design, photography, contemporary practice, painting, architecture, sculpture, etc.

University of the arts london (UAL): university of the arts london is an education college of art, design, media communication and performing arts in Europe, which consists of six art, design and communication colleges. They are Camberwell College, Central Saint Martin College, Chelsea Art College, London Media College, London Institute of Fashion and Wimbledon College. The courses offered by each college have their own characteristics. For example, the Central Saint Martin College is the art palace that all designers dream of. For example, Chelsea Art Institute is one of the most prestigious art and design schools in London, offering design courses.

Glasgow School of Art (GSA): Glasgow School of Art is the oldest independent art school in Scotland, and its artistic design ranks among the top ten in the world, especially its excellent visual creativity discipline. Glasgow School of Art offers 26 courses, which are distributed in the School of Design, the School of Art and the McIntosh School of Architecture. Moreover, all the undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses of the college have obtained the degree certification of Glasgow University. This means that after graduation, students will get the diploma of 100 ranked in the world.

Edinburgh Art Institute (ECA): Edinburgh Art Institute merged with the University of Edinburgh on August 20th11,and students' diplomas were issued by the University of Edinburgh. The University of Edinburgh ranks in the top 20 in QS, which is quite proud for students. Edinburgh College of Art also contains quite rich courses, such as art, design, architecture and art history.

Third, the curriculum is flexible.

Art disciplines in Britain are all-encompassing, including formal art majors, design management, innovation management, fashion management and other courses combined with business. This can cultivate a lot of all-round talents, thus directly broadening the employment of students.

For example, a student who can draw can not only be a painter, but also be a teacher after entering and leaving society. If students choose the course of art management at the graduate stage, they will have many choices in employment, such as museum directors, gallery operators, art appraisers, art investors and so on. This is very helpful for self-development.

For example, after I graduated from Edinburgh Art College, I got a diploma from Edinburgh University, ranking in the top 20 in the world. Graduation from Glasgow Art Institute is a degree awarded to Glasgow University, ranking the top 80 in the world. The Royal Academy of Art or university of the arts london, which do not participate in the comprehensive ranking, are among the top in the industry, and there is no case of disapproval or low recognition.

In addition, comprehensive universities also offer the interdisciplinary subjects just mentioned. For example, Manchester University, Southampton University, Leeds University, Lancaster University and so on. These schools are top-notch in ranking and industry recognition. Students can choose to go to comprehensive colleges or professional colleges according to their own concerns. The choice is very rich.

Communication is barrier-free and the language level can be improved.

As we all know, English is now an essential language for world communication, and it is also the language we have been exposed to since primary school. Then it may be easier for us to learn English, which is also a language we must master. On the other hand, if students choose to go to a country with a small language, that is, to teach in English, they will inevitably need to learn a small language in their lives.

This is another challenge for students, not only to prepare academic materials, but also to learn another language from scratch. However, studying in the UK will not have this problem. When students come into contact with pure British English, their language level will be greatly improved both in study and life.

A large number of museums and art exhibitions can be visited and studied.

The artistic atmosphere in Britain is very strong, and there are countless large and small art exhibitions every year, which are generally concentrated in London. Fashion categories include Chanel Art Exhibition and London Fashion Week. Like painting, there are itinerant exhibitions of various masters, or the most classic paintings collected by museums.

What's more worth mentioning is the annual Edinburgh Art Festival. Both street performers and industry big coffee will participate in this grand event. Art students can feel this atmosphere from a distance. Therefore, studying art in Britain, whether you are a modern metropolis full of museums like London or Edinburgh full of classical charm, you can travel in the world of art at close range.

Sixth, pay attention to cultivating students' innovative consciousness.

Presumably, we all know that most students in China have excellent technical or professional abilities, but why do we need to study abroad? What have we learned? Personally, many students want to go to Britain because they want to learn the innovative thinking and the latest ideas of the industry in Britain. Judging from the curriculum of British universities, most universities will give students innovative curriculum choices.

Some schools will make it a compulsory course. It is particularly worth mentioning that students who apply for a portfolio should especially reflect their own way of thinking in their works. This is a very important highlight, and it may also be the decisive factor whether you can get an offer.

Extended reading: what art students in Britain need to know when applying.

First, the status quo

Britain is a country that people will pay attention to when they first understand the street phenomenon. There are many artistic creations everywhere in the street. Maybe at the crossroads, you can see a painting or watch a wonderful music performance. This country is really outstanding in art, and many art festivals are held every year. When it comes to the art and culture of this country, many people will think of the British Museum and all art-related museums ... as well as the whole architecture of this country, such as castles and churches, and many outstanding scholars in the art field. This is the art you can think of in this country, and it also reflects that the art in Britain is really unique. This country's art major can also rank among the top in the whole world. For art students, studying in this country is a better choice.

Second, colleges with good art classes.

There is not only one art college in this country, but also two. The first category is pure art, that is, specialized courses are offered to students, and no other courses are offered to students. The second is a comprehensive art college, which not only emphasizes students' majors, but also teaches students many comprehensive courses. It depends on which institutions students like. Below, there are institutions that rank well in the national art category, namely Royal Art, London Art, Glasgow Art, Edinburgh Art and Cotti Art..

Third, matters needing attention in applying for art colleges

Time:

The art collection process in this country will take a long time because of students' works. Moreover, many materials need to be prepared in advance, and the college needs to spend more time reviewing. Students are advised to prepare the materials to be submitted before September. The application time is very suitable in September-165438+10, which is the suitable time for the first application. However, some students may not be able to control their time well, so it is suggested that they can make a form to record it so as to know the progress of their application process.

Achievements:

Generally speaking, most of the language scores are IELTS and TOEFL, and the IELTS of universities in this country is 6.0-6.5, which is generally a common standard. But art students may have a common problem. It's just that English is not very good, and some art students do very well in their majors. It would be a pity if their cultural achievements are insufficient. I suggest you go to a language school to lay a good foundation in advance, or enroll in a one-year preparatory course. These are all reasonable solutions.
