請問有人在英國紐卡斯爾大學學習過嗎?感覺學校如何?


謝邀,叔覺得每個人的體驗度都不一樣,只有自己去感受了。紐卡的教育類很不錯,商科就一般了、


屬於比較傳統的英國大學,建築和樓房都比較舊了,當然近幾年也蓋了不少新樓,Business school和主校區的一個什麼building(忘了)都是新蓋的。(國際學生給輸送了不少金元啊...)

建築,醫學都是比較有名的專業。

還有其他想起來再補充


Feedback of Exchange in Newcastle and York St John By Bin Yu

這是我2016年在紐卡斯爾大學交換學習的親身體驗。

我的主要活動和學習區域在阿姆斯特朗樓,而不是紐卡斯爾的商學院。商學院是一棟新建築。

我不是中介,請中介不要用我的文章打廣告,謝謝。

Note: This feedback is based on the personal experience of Bin Yu, a Chinese student of Malmo University who was exchanged to the UK January 2016 - January 2017.

Part 1 Newcastle University. January - June 2016 spring term

Module:

1. Introduction to Public Relation.

2. Visual Culture.

3. Celebrity Culture.

Highlights of infrastructures:

1. Strong database

I could always get what I want. If the book is not available, I could still get it the next day.

The positive side is that I never experience frustrating due to lack of information. The negative side is that Im easy to get lost in reading papers.

學校的資料庫很齊全,各類學術文章都可以搜得到。如果一時找不到,向圖書館提出要求,圖書館會在一到兩天內幫你借到需要的教材,作為學生,這個真的很重要。很多偏門的有趣的材料都可以找到,包括甲午海戰當年在英國媒體上的報道,致遠艦,這艘在紐卡斯爾製造的清國戰艦,如何在黃海被日艦擊沉,史料非常詳盡。

2. 24 hours Library and 25 pounds for print each semester.

1) Each student is provided 25 pounds to print. 2-4 pennies per A4 sheet. It covers all my print tasks. The printers run like the newspaper machines.

圖書館是二十四小時開放的,充分滿足了夜貓的習慣,晝伏夜出的人們,總是有地方去。每個學生會提供25鎊的列印費,自動充值在學生卡里,這基本上覆蓋了我所有三門課程的列印費用,我覺得比較慷慨,雖然不是很環保。人多的時候,幾台印表機就像印鈔機一樣源源不斷的列印著論文。這個印表機很方便使用,在座位上點擊一下列印鍵,起身過去印表機,文件就已經在列印,或者在等

你了,效率非常高。

2) Four libraries around the campus.

Library Robinson is open 24 hours. The other three close at 24:00.

圖書館地下一層有很多舊文件和檔案可以撿看,半夜兩點在那裡看看各種關於歐洲藝術史的雜誌,還有英國皇家海軍情報處編製的吐尼西亞地圖,感覺很有趣,

3. Recap system.

The modules have been recapped, including PPTs. The students could access to recap via a system called "blackboard". The available situation of computer clusters is shown on campus app.

所有的課程是被錄音的,包括PPT都被完整的保存下來,課後可以一遍一遍的聽。對於英文不是很流利得同學,這個系統很有用。對於喜歡翹課的同學,這個系統也很有用。如果你上課發言很積極,你也可以聽到自己的聲音。可以供自慣用的電腦比比皆是,只要不是在上課,所有的教學資源都是對學生開放的。

4. Accommodation in Easton Flat is close to the library and half surround by a royal grammar school. Quite at night and lively in the morning.

宿舍是因人而異的,因為價格不同。我住的是很便宜的學生宿舍,距離圖書館走路7分鐘,前面是一片草坪,邊上是紐卡斯爾一所比較好的皇家女子學校,以及幾家語法學校,晚上十分安靜,早上會看見一隊隊打著領帶的小學生和三五成隊的女學生來上學。宿舍周圍總是停滿了接送孩子的車子。其實英國家長和中國家長一樣,也希望自己的孩子可以接受最好的教育,上最好的學校。

Highlight part of academic and student activities:

1. Abundant student activities 學生活動很豐富

The student activities are very job hunting orientated.

1) The student centre invites industrial employees and employer to share their experience. The guests could be the journalists from BBC and Newcastle local express or the officers of Air Force.Chance are there to build connections between students and the guests after each talk.

Seminars hold regularly by staff and employers, such as PWC. There is a routine lesson showing how to prepare interview for PWC at the student centre. Besides the student centre, each faculty and department have their own events, business school, education school, linguistic school, all have different events.

很多學生的活動都是以找工作為導向的,學校會邀請各種職場人士來學校講座,比如英國廣播公司,紐卡斯爾本地媒體,還有皇家海軍和空軍的長官來介紹他們的工作經驗。普華永道會在學校里定期的搞面試培訓,學生會被臨時分組,然後派給不同的工作任務,和來自不同國家的同學一起解決問題,這是一個很好的體驗。學生總是有機會和來賓交流,座談之後,會有香檳、葡萄酒、披薩還有一些簡單食品招待學生和來賓,如果自己願意,交流的機會總是存在的,可以認識很多朋友。

2. Abundant academic activities 豐富的學術活動

Each Tuesday has guest lectures. 每周二都有客座講座

Countless seminars and lectures I could drop in every week.

I even joined a faculty meeting of Media, Culture and Heritage Department, as the only student.

It is really open to EVERYONE.

Highlights of selective modules:

1. COM2023 Introduction to Public Relations (Ms Laurel Hetherington. Mrs Sally Keith, Mr Jonathan Ward)

Around 100 students. This classroom is always full. This module is highly related with the latest news and events around the world. It also includes the guest lectures in relation to PR and outside campus activity, which is held by a local PR company to share their industrial experience, I have chance to meet PR students from Northumerberland University. The seminars are to analysis the newspapers of that day and focus on the PR in UK context. 8 to 10 students

in each seminar.

The course literature book is called PR Today, an introduction book in relation to PR which shows the reader what is PR and how to organise PR events.

The exam has two parts: An exam which I have to write on 8 pages of PPT to introduction what is PR in an hour; And a PR plan.

2. COM2077 Visual Culture ( Prof. Christoper Whitehead )

A course around 20 students. The course I enjoy the most. It discusses the relation between paintings and politics, also includes the content of how an art gallery or museum display its objects in order to express their attitudes. It involves intensive observation of western painting and advertisement pictures. There are also practicalcourse that we have to work out how to display some real historical objects in a certain period of time. Michel Foucault is the name I hear quite often in this course. The others include Roger Fry, Pierre Bourdieu and John Berger.

The course literature which I should recommend is 1)"The Ways of Seeing" by John Berger. The another one is 2)Visual Culture by Richard Howell. Richard Howell summarised and comments on several theories in his book, which include John Bergers, Roger Frys and Ernst Gombrichs theory in relation to how to view a painting.

Besides these course literature, Id like to recommend Paul Gauguins 3)Noa Noa and 4)Letters to His Wife and Friends. And 5)Roger Fry by Virginia Woolf.

The exam has two parts: a group work presentation in relation to museum or art gallery display. An essay 2000 words.

3. COM2080 Celebrity Culture (Dr Gareth Longstaff )

A course around 90 people. A good chance to see the popular culture from a UK perspective. I learned what is "nostalgia" and "common memory" in this course. The seminar group is around 20 people.

Highlights of culture experience outside of campus:

1. Discovery museum, which has the Turbinia, the fastest steamboat of the world of 19th century.

2. Oriental Museum, Durham University.

3. Opera House. Drama - Oliver. For me, its a theatre enlightenment.

4. Scotland National Gallery. In Edinburgh but worth to visit.

5. Sage Gateshead. Newcastle student orchestra.

6. Boat Racing between Durham and Newcastle University on Tyne river.

7. Northumberland University sometimes has open lectures in relation to language acquisition which I followed.

8. Football Match between Newcastle and Manchester United.

Downsides:

1) Most modules are full before I arrive. My previous plan was totally changed after I arrived at Newcastle. (This change, of course, has its positive aspect. Its good to broaden my horizon ).

The module quality is high from my point of view, I do enjoy the life in Newcastle.

總的來說,我對於在紐卡斯爾的學習生活很滿意,我很喜歡紐卡斯爾。

我是在SIA上看到的,也不知道對不對,樓主可以去網站上看一下。藝術院校專業,怎麼考,怎麼報名,是與我們息息相關的問題,經常登錄一些藝術院校網,發現也沒有用。
