【AIP名校面对面】法尔茅斯大学Ross Hulbert访谈-我们期待的学生

We found these students at AIP are, have a really, they are really strong for all the different subject areas. Say, somewhere like Falmouth, we offer such a variety of creative subjects. But the AIP students don’t all abide for any one course. So it’s not like if you study at AIP, you can only do fine art.We have applications for graphic design, fine art, and architecture. And this strengthens the portfolio and strengthens the work that we received from AIP students. It’s very… very …strong

我们法尔茅斯的各个学院对于AIP的学生都非常有信心。当我告诉他们这是一个来自广美AIP学生的申请之后，他们几乎马上就决定要录取该生。因为他们在前年和去年已经收到了许多广美AIP学生的入学申请。

And our academies in Falmouth havereally good confidence that when I tell them that this is an application from aGAFA student they are already very likely to make an offer, ‘cause they’ve seenlots of applications from students last year and the year before.

所以，我认为AIP为学生前往英国接受国际教育做好了准备，也让我们非常高兴能够每年来到AIP和学生一起创作。

So I think AIP really prepares students well for aninternational education in the UK, so makes us very happy to come herethroughout the year and work with the students.

Well, another thing that’s different about how you get into Falmouth University, which is the most important for us, is your portfolio and your work in which we’ll be able to see your creative journey as whatever type of artists you are, whenever type of your creation you are. Say, if you are going to traditional university, you will know you will have to get top marks in your exams, that will probably be all they want to see.

然而在法尔茅斯，我们希望你们能够顺利地从AIP毕业，但这并不是全部，我们还希望看到你的作品集，这也是为什么我们会来AIP，也许一年会来两至三次。并且会有一些来自于法尔茅斯或其他设计课程的专家和我一起过来。我和学生在一起以确保他们的作品集真实地反应了他们的最高的水平和最好的能力。但这和考试并不一样。所以当你在六月通过邮件递交你的作品集时,你应该会收到很多来自法尔茅斯大学以及其他一些学校的反馈。

While at Falmouth, we’ll want you tograduate well from AIP course. But that in itself won’t be enough. We’ll wantto see your portfolio, and that’s why we’ll come to AIP, maybe two or threetimes a year. And I usually come with academics from Falmouth or other designcourses. And I really work with students to ensure that what they are includingin their portfolios is really true to their skills and really shows off theirabilities to the best that they can be. So it’s not like exams. So when yousubmit your portfolio in mail in June, you should hopefully catch a lot offeedback from Falmouth and other optional universities I’m sure about.

大量的反馈意味着你的作品集深受好评，你不会被学校拒绝或被告知作品集不够理想。所以对于我们来说，这非常的重要。所以如果有一些学生有时候在理论知识上并不是那么有天赋，如果他们的作品集非常的好，非常有说服力，那么我们也会尽可能大的放宽条件，因为我们希望能够拥有最好的插画家和最好的平面设计师。

Lots of feedback so you know that it’sgonna be well received and it’s not just gonna get rejected or told that it’snot relevant.So for us, that’s really important. So if students in some casesmay not be that gifted academically, and…if their portfolios were strong, wecould make as much allowances as possible, cause we want the best illustratorsand the best graphic designers.

我们对于学生的学术成绩也许并不是那么感兴趣。另一件我认为AIP做的非常好的事情是，如果你来英国学习，有一件我们需要确定的事情是学生的英语水平。所以你需要有一个雅思6分的成绩单来申请本科的学习。但是我们拥有语言预备课程，所以如果你现在的雅思成绩略低，没有问题，我们可以接受最低5分及以上的雅思成绩并且在正式课程开始之前帮助他们进行语言的学习。

Weare lese interested potentially in that academic grades. But the other goodthing about AIP, if you come to study in the UK, the one thing that we have toensure is students’ English language. So you need to have you IELTS level for6.0 for an undergraduate degree. But we have pre-sessional courses. So if youare slightly below that, that’s no problem. We can accept you to 5.0 and aboveand help them with that to work in advance of the course starting.

但有一件我们需要澄清的事情是，这并不是法尔茅斯所规定的，而是英国政府。所以每一个学生都必须遵守这个规定。但是AIP课程能够帮助学生们做好语言方面的准备。我们的语言预备课程，我希望能够全年自始至终地帮助学生进行学习。我们不会把问题全部堆置到年尾。在语言方面，我们有提供有非常非常多的支持和帮助。所以这就是你要思考的问题了，作品集和语言，这是学生应该最关注的两件事情。

But that’s something we need to be clear on, causethat’s not Falmouth, that’s the government in the UK. So all students will needto do that. But together with the AIP program here, which prepares studentsvery well, our pre-sessional and hopefully working with students throughout theyear. We won’t get to the situation where that’s the problem for the end of theyear. We have lots and lots of support for English language. So that’s for youto think. Portfolio and language, that’s two things students should reallyconcentrate on the thing.

OK. Well, Falmouth University is a bit different as far as we are specialist art university. So that means, like AIP, all students at Falmouth have to decide to come for creative subjects, so whether it’s that graphic design, interior design, architecture, performance, fine art, illustration, everyone of that specialist art community is studying for creative subjects. That means all of the facilities in Falmouth are useful and relevant to you regardless what you are studying. So you don’t need to choose one subject and only study that in isolation that you might do at traditional university. And we are the top grand art university in the whole country.

法尔茅斯与众不同的另外一点体现在我们的课程能够为你找到专业对口的工作，比如室内设计，平面设计或者建筑。我们和上述三门课程的相关产业合作紧密。我们95%的毕业生在毕业后的六个月内都获得了工作。如果你清楚地知道你想成为平面设计师或者插画师，那么法尔茅斯就是你学习技巧和获得相关工作的最佳选择。这也是法尔茅斯与传统大学不同的地方。

So we work very closely withindustries through three of these courses and 95% of our students have a jobwithin six months after graduating.

Say, if you know you want to be agraphic designer or you know you want to be an illustrator, it’s a great placeto come and learn the skills which actually get yourself a job. And that’s whyit’s different to a traditional university.
