一年一共有六门课(不包括毕业论文),三门必修课、三门选修课:
上学期一门必修(Contested Culture),下学期两门必修(Analysing CCI & Research Approaches)。学校的建议是,上学期选两门,下学期选一门~
授课方式
一门课分别有一个lecture和一个seminar,分别一小时!
lecture
lecture是老师纯讲课,必修课的lecture主要是系里的老师轮着讲,偶尔会请隔壁专业(如DCS)和外面的人(研究机构)来讲一两节~
seminar
seminar的话一般都要轮着做presentation,通常两三人一组,然后剩下时间基本就小组讨论了。
毕业论文
开学之后每个人都会有自己的personal tutor,带自己的毕业论文。如果自己已经有了明确的research interest,可以写信给系里面的小米或者直接跟导师表明一下心迹,这样往后写毕业论文就会比较理想。
课程特色
① Inside Today's Museum: Tate Modern和Towards Tomorrow's Museum: Tate Modern
KCL的CCI有两门很特别的课程——Inside Today's Museum: Tate Modern和Towards Tomorrow's Museum: Tate Modern,这两门课程是是需要提交简历和statement这些材料申请的哟,只会选18个人~
这门课程和泰特现代美术馆合作的,是在美术馆里上课。因为课程对外开放,所以课上有一半是自己的同学,有一半是社会人士~该课程的带课老师讲一半时间,中间穿插着各种问答、讨论,偶尔也会给点时间去Tate里面看展。
② 论文写写写!
KCL对写作的要求一直都很高,雅思写作要求7.0是常有的事,因为他们家真的有很多地方需要你写写写!
CCI的选修课全部都是写论文的考核方式,4000字。老师会给你五个题目,选其中一个写就是。
必修课也都是写论文的方式,考试卷子题目是五选二,题目来自于每周课的topic,一共写两个小时,分配下来就是一个题目一个小时,写小essay(每篇大概写个一千字左右吧),闭卷!
所以其实这是一个偏理论的专业╮(╯▽╰)╭写作不好的孩子会学哭的~~
③ 关于实习
有宝宝注意到选修课的最后一门吗——Internship!!不过……这门Internship不是说选了就等着学校给你安排实习的……实习是要自己去找的……
而且这门实习课的考核方式居然……也是写写写…一个一千字的internship proposal和一个三千字的final critical evaluation report……
④ 你还可以去选修其他专业的选修课哟~
不过只能选一门,一般而言,DCS和CCI专业的选修课出现互选的情况会比较多。
申请要求
1.雅思总分7.0,写作阅读7.0,听力口语6.5!
2.需要提交一份2000字以上的Writing Sample;
3.PS字数最多500字;
4.专业背景不限。
