There are more and more students studying art abroad, and it is inevitable that some problems will arise during the application process. Therefore, today, the editor of Meixing Siyuan has compiled five major problems for music and art students studying abroad, hoping to help you.
1. Which country is best for music and art students to study abroad?
You can consider the following aspects:
1. Economic conditions:
United States (generally two years for postgraduate studies): public university tuition is 18,000-28,000 US dollars. Private university tuition is US$30,000-35,000 (excluding miscellaneous fees); living expenses in first-tier cities are US$1,000-2,000 per month, living expenses in second-tier cities are US$800-1,000 per month, living expenses in third-tier cities are US$600-800 per month, and living expenses in fourth-tier cities are US$450 per month. -$600.
UK (one year for graduate students at general comprehensive universities; two years for graduate students at professional conservatories): Tuition fees for comprehensive universities are 10,000-16,000 pounds, and tuition fees for professional conservatories are 15,000-20,000 pounds (excluding miscellaneous fees); living expenses in first-tier cities per year 90,000-150,000 RMB, and living expenses in second-tier cities are 70,000-100,000 RMB per year.
Europe (generally two years for postgraduate studies): Tuition is free at public universities or music schools; annual living expenses are around RMB 50,000-70,000.
2. Professional advantages:
Britain, America and Europe all have the best music schools in the world, but some schools have their own special advantages, such as the popular Berklee College of Music in the United States. He has made outstanding achievements in music, and the Leeds Conservatory of Music in the UK is a pioneer school of jazz, etc.
3. Language factor:
Whenever you go to any country, the courses will be taught in the local language. However, English is something that Chinese students have been exposed to since childhood, so it is easier than other international languages. Therefore, if the language is not up to standard at home, you can also go abroad to study in a language school.
To prepare for the English test, you can take the test and pass it in just two months with less review time; other national language tests require a longer time to prepare, such as German, which many universities list in their admission notices. Students are often required to take the DSH exam directly upon admission or to present other valid "language certificates" such as the "TeDaF" language certificate, which means that they must attend at least one and a half years of regular intensive German classes (minimum 20 hours/week) to cope with the exam.
2. How should music and art students choose a graduate school abroad?
1. Geographical location:
Different geographical locations have different climates. Try to choose a climate environment that you can easily adapt to. And you have to choose an environment that suits you. For example, if someone wants to travel more during the holidays and gain experience, then try to choose a city with an airport or a city close to the airport to facilitate travel.
2. Major rankings of colleges and universities:
In addition to looking at school rankings, major rankings are also very important. Some schools may not be ranked particularly high, but a certain major is particularly outstanding.
3. How do music and art students apply for postgraduate studies abroad?
The application for music and art students to study abroad is divided into the following steps:
1. Understand the application requirements of the institution; 2. Prepare application materials: application form, recommendation letter, personal information Statement, portfolio, highest academic qualifications and transcripts, highest academic diploma, etc.
3. Send the application materials and pay the application fee;
4. If the application is successful, you can apply Got a visa.
4. What are the requirements for music and art students to study abroad?
To go to Commonwealth countries, you need to pass IELTS (ranging from 6-7.5 points), and to the US Commonwealth countries, you need to pass TOEFL (ranging from 79-100 points). There are some schools that accept both IELTS and TOEFL; go In Germany, you need to pass TestDaf or DSH (meet certain course requirements or at least an intermediate level of German). If your language proficiency is not up to standard, you can choose to take language classes abroad, which usually last for several months and tuition fees are charged.
5. How should music and art students prepare for interviews for graduate studies abroad?
Music and art students need to have interviews, audio and video interviews or on-site interviews, or audio and video pre-review before on-site interviews. The repertoire requirements for the on-site audition (Audition) are generally 3-4 works from different periods and styles. Some schools will also have sight-singing and ear-training or sight-reading exams afterwards. Some schools come to China to recruit students every year, usually at the end of the year or the beginning of the year, and conduct on-site interviews in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
Some schools will have an interview after the interview. The professor will ask you about your past experience, future plans, study plans, etc. Applicants for theory majors and composition majors should be prepared to review their papers or essays. Statement of the work.
