493 recruit immigrants?

If you want to study landscape architecture, study abroad for graduate students and have scholarships, you can only consider the United States first ... However, with all due respect, it is not easy.

The first is professional issues. Landscape architecture is the main part of undergraduate education of landscape architecture in China, and most of them are set up in agricultural and forestry colleges, which has a big gap with foreign countries in curriculum system. In foreign modern design disciplines, architecture, landscape design (landscape architecture) and urban planning and design coexist, and the professional name is mostly Master of Landscape Architecture. In China, these three parts not only belong to different disciplines, but also are not set up in the same university. Most agricultural and forestry colleges do not have architecture, and it seems to be a common practice for engineering colleges not to open botany and afforestation. In recent years, famous architectural schools such as Tsinghua, Tianda and Southeast University began to invite professors from Forestry University to offer undergraduate courses in landscape botany, and agricultural and forestry colleges also offered some basic courses in architecture, but with little effect ... Therefore, the first problem encountered by undergraduates studying landscape architecture in the United States is "changing majors". From garden plants to landscape architecture, not only need to have a very high GPA (at least 3.5), GRE( 1300+) and TOEFL (100+), but also have a good architectural foundation, preferably with relevant research background. Otherwise, even if you are admitted, you will have to make up classes in the first year. As we all know, this kind of make-up lessons not only won't be awarded, but also the tuition is very expensive ~ ~ ~

Secondly, the issue of "scholarship". It is a fact that there are few foreign master scholarships. Only research-oriented masters and doctors will have "research funds". Therefore, one of the biggest problems faced by domestic undergraduates going abroad is "Master or Doctor?" We all know that doctors in the United States are basically awarded full prizes, but few people know that 4-year undergraduates can apply for doctors directly. Why? Because for domestic undergraduates, there are too few people who can apply for doctoral studies. Although our undergraduate course is also four years, it is only recognized by foreign people as "three-year undergraduate equivalent education" (similarly, after deducting Mao Sandeng's ideological and political education, it will be three years at most), mainly because of insufficient professional practice and low research ability. Therefore, if you want to go abroad to study as a "graduate student" and get a scholarship, you must have good design works, dazzling internship experience, at least published a thesis, and directly apply for a doctorate. For undergraduates, if a paper can be published, it will have the icing on the cake effect. Paper makes you stand out in all applications. When other applicants are ahead of others with high GPA, you have proved to the Admissions Committee that you have research ability. It is best to publish SCI papers in English, which not only proves that you have the research ability, but also proves that you have passed the English writing barrier and can write articles for future tutors ~ ~ ~

After reading the above two articles, you must have understood what you should do to achieve your goal. Here is a brief introduction to the foreign landscape design major I know.

1) USA

Landscape-related majors in the United States can be roughly divided into two categories:

(1) Design discipline: architecture, landscape design, urban planning and design. The most typical example is Harvard University, where the architecture, landscape design and urban planning and design of the graduate school of design merged. The School of Architecture and Environmental Design of California Polytechnic State University has established five departments: Department of Architectural Engineering, Department of Architecture, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Department of Building Management and UCLA. Iowa State Agricultural College, University of Arizona and other colleges separated gardens from agricultural colleges and developed a complete design discipline group. The Department of Landscape Design and Regional Planning of Massachusetts University is tied, and the Department of Architecture and Landscape Design of North Dakota State University is tied. In some universities, LA is only a major in architecture or planning.

(2) Landscape-related disciplines offered by agricultural colleges. In some colleges and universities in the United States, LA majors are still located in agricultural colleges together with horticulture majors. For example, the LA major of Colorado State University is in the Department of Horticulture, and LA is under the Academy of Agricultural Sciences; LA of the University of Connecticut is affiliated to the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The Los Angeles and Horticulture Department of Washington State University is located in the College of Agriculture and Home Economics. The University of Wisconsin is the Department of Urban and Regional Planning.

In some schools, LA majors are closely related to art, with strong artistic design colors, and are juxtaposed with interior design and other disciplines. For example, university of idaho is located in the College of Art and Architecture, the University of Pennsylvania is located in the Graduate School of Fine Arts, and the University of Illinois is located under the College of Fine Arts and Applied Arts. Some schools also set the LA major under geography. Like Michigan State University.

4) New Zealand

New Zealand's landscape design is also very distinctive, and the whole country is a big garden. Moreover, "landscape architecture" is a major in shortage of immigrants in New Zealand. You can apply for immigration if you find a job after graduating from a master's degree. More importantly, the tuition fees in New Zealand are lower than those in the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada, and the master's tuition and living expenses are about 17- 18 a year. If you are a doctor, you can enjoy the treatment of local students. The annual tuition fee is more than NZ $4,700, and the living expenses are about RMB 80,000 ~ ~ ~

Recommended institutions:

1. Victoria University of Wellington. Its campus is the best among all design schools in New Zealand, and its software and hardware facilities are among the best, even better than RMIT and UNSW in Australia. Note that I'm talking about equipment, not comprehensive strength.

2. Lincoln University Lincoln University is the only university that offers undergraduate courses in landscape design when Victoria University of New Zealand does not offer landscape design, and has a two-year master's program. You can apply for this two-year landscape discipline and get a degree in two years. Many students who graduated from landscape department were recruited by some American and British companies.

Some schools have also brought it here. AUT is famous for its fine arts and fashion design, and now the Media Design School has become a private 3D animation school because of the great success of The Lord of the Rings and King Kong. This private college has also gradually grown up. In addition, after Weta Digital and Peter Jackson started to invest in Macy's University to set up a film academy, Victoria University also announced that in addition to the newly opened landscape design, it now provides digital media.

5) Australia

1. The architecture department of Melbourne University is very famous, which can be said to be one of the best in Australia. In addition, its landscape specialty is also quite level and pays great attention to research. It has three ways: through course work, design or thesis. According to the course assignment, there are 100 points, 150 points and 200 points. You can complete your own learning level according to your previous study. Its master of landscape design is also divided into 100 and 200 points. If you have had an undergraduate course in landscape design for four years before, and your average score in the latest year is over 70%, or your average score in a postgraduate diploma in landscape design is over 70%, you can get a score of 100. The 200-point master of landscape is: you have four years of architecture, urban planning, environmental art and forestry. And the average score in the last year is above 70% or a considerable diploma. The second is that you have graduated from any undergraduate course for three years, but you have completed the postgraduate certificate of landscape architecture, with an average score of more than 70% or a diploma.

2.RMIT (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) RMIT is a relatively strong polytechnic in Australia and is quite famous in digital architecture. When someone gave it the ranking of architecture school, its principal said: We are a design school, not a simple architecture school. Because its architectural school includes graphic design, fashion design and digital film and television, it is a good choice for you to learn digital architecture and architectural CAD.

3.UNSW. The University of New South Wales is the largest traditional model college, and its establishment time cannot be compared with other established schools. But his growth is obvious to all. If you want to find a job after graduation, please go to New South Wales. It is equivalent to a big boiler, which can refine some people, and many people are more willing to apply for this college. The ranking of architecture is also above average. However, it is worth mentioning that its master's degree in urban planning is quite famous, and it is also the first college to develop this course.

4. Queensland University of Technology

I introduced it because it has a master's degree in landscape design. As far as I know, only it and Melbourne University have such undergraduate courses, but you want to take a master's degree in landscape design. That is to say, you will get a master's degree in landscape design in three years, which is very attractive for students majoring in interior design, graphic design, environmental art and other design majors ~ ~ ~
