去美国留学暑校也是一个很不错的选择,对自己的留学也是有帮助的,今天中学教育网小编就给大家介绍背景提升 | 读暑校真的对留学申请有帮助吗?附美国暑校推荐,欢迎点击中学教育网网,下面和中学教育网网小编一起来看看吧。
01
什么是暑校?参加暑校有什么作用?
暑校又叫夏校,英文Summer school/program,是目前国内外流行的一种设置在正式学位课程之外的特色项目,学习内容主要以通识课程的授课为主。
相比交换生(Exchange student)、暑研(Summer research),暑校的存在就像授课型硕士那样,被人认为没什么含金量,学习的经历没太大实际作用。
不过从申请留学的角度来看,暑校作用还是比较明显的,主要表现在以下几点:
1)首先,申请国际暑校的过程,本身就像申请留学一样。
你需要调研海外高校暑校的课程特色、招生偏好、申请流程等问题,这对你自己申请正式留学学位是有帮助的,而且无形中给了你提前试错的机会。
暑校课程一般只有短短2-4周的学习周期,而且正常情况下都是在校园内面授。
因此,你可以申请目标留学院校的暑校项目,提前感受学校的学习氛围、当地的生活状态,给自己正式的留学生活一个缓冲期和犹豫期。
暑校的费用相比留学并不高,住宿方面也是由学校统一安排管理的,从试错成本角度来说,很值得将来打算留学的学生作为留学考察项目去体验。
2)其次,回到暑校本身,在经过100多年的延续和发展中,已经成为包括美国藤校、英国G5等世界级名校进行国际交流的一种重要形式。
目前针对本科生的暑校项目,主要有学分课程和非学分课程。
如果你的本科学校刚好有世界名校的交换生资格,那么申请这些学校的暑校项目就比较容易,而且还可以申请学分课程替换自己本校选修科目的学分;
如果你的本科学校没有交换生资格,就要自己去目标高校官网查找符合申请要求的暑校项目,然后像申请正式留学那样,递交相关申请材料(包括成绩单、语言成绩等)。
不过个人申请会比有学校推荐信申请更困难一些,尤其是美国藤校、英国G5、新二港三这些名校的热门暑校项目。
拿到以上级别名校的暑校名额,对于你将来申请留学来说,个人经历上会加分很多。
尤其在这几年主流留学地区申请好学校越来越卷的情况下,差异化的竞争优势非常重要。
3)除了以上两点,参加国际暑校项目,还可以让你有机会接触到海外名校的教授,获得教授的留学申请推荐信。
如果有海外教授的推荐信,对你的留学申请加分自然就更大了!
不过你在申请之前要提前确认好——课程是否跟自己将来申请的留学专业相关、是否一定会给参加的学生写推荐信、拿到推荐信的比例有多高。
搞清楚这些问题之后再去申请,不然稀里糊涂参加完,自己光当成兴趣班去体验生活了,别最后说暑校没用、暑校就是用来圈钱的......
看到这里,如果你还是不明白在科研竞赛/实习/暑校之间怎么选、自己适合什么类型的暑校,赶紧来找学姐问清楚!!
02
申请暑校有哪些途径?申请流程如何?
通过本校国际交流部官网申请
关于暑校申请,前面学姐也提到了如果你本校有交换生资格,申请会更容易。
所以建议大家先去本校的国际交流部(或者海外留学部门等)官网查找相关公告,一般有合作的学校和项目都会第一时间公布在门户网站,直接按照本校的申请流程操作即可。
以北大为例,他们的“国际合作部-海外学习-出国交流-暑期学校”就会公布全球合作院校的暑校项目开放情况,像基本的项目官网、申请链接(本校网申/对方网申)、项目时间、申请资格、截止时间、咨询邮箱、申请注意事项等都会写得很清楚。
直接在本校官网查找信息、通过本校提交网申,好处是你不需要额外花时间搜集各种信息,提交的申请也会更快被审核,拿到offer概率也更大。
但同时也需要注意,本校提供的合作项目不一定是海外院校开放的所有项目,有些不针对你本科学校特别合作的课程是没法在本科官网查到的,你的选择空间会比较小。
因此就有了第二种申请方式——在海外大学官网,以国际学生的个人身份直接递交申请。
在境外大学官网以个人身份申请
大部分海外大学官网都有summer school的申请列表,如果你在主页找不到,直接在搜索栏中输入“summer school/program”,点击搜索后就会跳转所有暑校相关的信息了,找到最新开放的暑校列表,进入查询相关课程设置、申请要求、截止时间和申请链接等。
以已经开放23年summer school申请的香港大学为例,暑校申请的界面如下:
开放的课程包含科学、商业、人文艺术等类型,共十余门,本科学生可以参加的课程信息官网链接如下:
/programmes/undergraduate-postgraduate-programmes
在境外学校官网以个人身份申请,一般都是课程最全的,而且能及时了解到新开专业或者专业截止的时间,但申请通过的概率会更低。
03
申请暑校的大概流程是怎样的?——以香港大学为例
第一步:查阅相关申请信息,确认申请资格
阅读计划信息和具体要求(课程列表可以在本科课程和中学课程中找到);
确保满足香港大学暑期学院语言要求和课程资格。
第二步:准备相关申请材料,递交个人申请
在香港大学暑期学院-在线申请系统-注册并创建个人申请帐户(确认将立即发送到注册邮件地址);
填写在线申请表并上传所有必需的证明文件;
通过万事达卡、维萨卡、银联卡、微信支付、香港支付宝、支付宝或转数快在线支付申请费(不退还)。
*只有截止日期前成功提交所有证明文件和申请费,申请才会被处理;
*一旦提交不得修改申请,如果想在提交后更改个人资料,联系官方;
*强烈建议申请人提交申请前,仔细检查详细信息,并保留提交记录。
第三步:跟踪申请动态,确认申请结果
收到通知后,通过在线申请系统确认接受录取通知书(在邮件规定接受截止日期前完成);
按照以下程序接受您的报价:
-登入香港大学暑期学院网上申请系统;
-点击“接受报价”(有些项目要求上传回执,请参考录取通知书);
-单击“确定”以确认接受;
-点击“ Upload Reply Slip and Accept Offer ”上传回执。
第四步:缴纳相关费用,获得暑校资格
课程费用支付:仔细阅读付款说明,在截止日期前支付课程费用、住宿费(如适用)和社会文化活动费(如适用)。
*与官方联系的所有邮件必须注明课程代码(如适用)、申请编号和全名(资料不足的查询将不获受理)。
总结一下:
从目前留学申请的激烈形势来看,有一个国际名校的暑校经历,对于你的留学申请肯定是加分的,但加分的前提是:
你的其他条件必须达标,也就是在基本学术背景、标化成绩、实践经历都还不错的情况下,暑校经历才会对你起到提分的作用,才会变成你跟相同背景申请者的竞争优势;
暑校的课程最好跟你申请的留学课程一致,在相关性强的情况下加分效果更明显;
要有实际的暑校成果,比如授课老师的推荐信、高分的结课成绩、获得了相应的学分等等,这样的暑校经历对于申请更有说服力。
也就是说,暑校对于留学申请到底有没有用,其实就像授课型硕士学位对找工作有没有用是一个道理:
暑校经历或硕士学位本身只是一个敲门砖,起到让老师或招聘官关注你个人简历的作用,但最终能不能凭借暑校经历/硕士学位拿到满意的硕士/工作offer,还得看你在这段经历中具体突出的相关能力。
这些相关能力才是你区别于其他竞争者的优势,而不是暑校经历或者硕士学位本身。
所以申请暑校一定是有目的的选择,比如为了深入了解某所境外大学、增加相关领域的知识、获得教授的留学申请推荐资格等等。
