策展管理专业申请总攻略
2013-04-28
Curating也分为理论课程和设计实务课程。无论哪种，都是给有美术功底，美学研究，懂得设计和布展的同学开设的。理论课程的话，侧重研究美学理论与赏析，雅思要求较高，一般为7分，单项小分是6。试想需要完成一年的硕士理论课程的话，这种专业对雅思要求高是应当的。理论课程不需要作品集。但是申请过程中需要有essay提交。题目根据大学的课程设置范围有所不同。
例如：爱丁堡大学（University of Edinburgh) 要求：Writing sample - for Taught degrees this is a 2000 word essay on History of Art 推荐信必须要原件快递，不承认电子扫描件。
埃塞克斯大学（University of Essex）要求：there is a serious concern about the extent of your knowledge of contemporary art and theory. in order to further consider your application we would like you to write a short essay (ca. 1500 words) considering the following question: what are the challenges for the curation of contemporary art today?
第二种设计实务课程的话，设计作品就是必修的了。我今年申请成功的Miss LI 做了详细和广泛的作品提交。雅思要求没有理论课程那么高，总分6.5分，单项小分5.5分即可。另外，interview环节却是必须的了。
例如：金斯顿大学（Kingston University）要求：interview：We would like to arrange an opportunity for you to talk to a Chinese student currently on the course in Mandarin and to discuss in more detail if the course is suitable for you with a member of staff on the course. We would like to ask you what your careers plan are as a curator and how the experience of the course and study in London will support your career ambitions.
Miss LI 是山东工艺美院，工业设计（展示）专业本科毕业生，应届，GPA 85%以上。有作品，无雅思
学校申请方面，她确定是爱丁堡，埃塞克斯，金斯顿和伯明翰城市大学。细心的文案每一所大学都设计了不同的essay和作品体现，无一雷同，投入了大量的时间和人力，最终的结果当然大获全胜。满满的全是offer，丰收的喜悦让我和文案都很有成绩感，所以才会觉得很有必要把攻略总结出来给同是想申请的同学们做参考。如果你有同班同学想申请，也欢迎大家一起分析和指正。特别指明：伦艺的curating专业2013年暂停招生，2014年9月是否招生待定，因此Miss LI 没有尝试。如果你的雅思问题不大，我还觉得Goldsmith是个不错的选择。Kingston有美国实习机会，可以周游一下自由女神的大陆不失为留学经历中的加分机会。最后，祝大家顺利！
