1. 英国的历史学分类是非常细的!无论偏好【世界史】还是【中国史】、甚至细分到【苏格兰史】,在英国的历史学研究项目里都能找到合适的科目。但是具体要看各学校的具体课程安排。针对这位想要跨专业申请的学生,我们需要先找可以接受跨专业申请历史学的院校。
QS 78 格拉斯哥大学大学
QS 80 伯明翰大学
QS 169 埃克塞特大学
QS 172 雷丁大学
QS 186 卡迪夫大学
位列世界前200,排名可观,接受跨专业申请历史学的英国大学有以上五所。
2. 再确定好了院校之后,就到了准备申请材料的环节。这是整个留学申请中,最重要的部分,因为这影响到了后续所有院校的录取结果。首先我们不同的院校历史学的入学要求,都做了解析,譬如:
伯明翰大学的MA History入学要求:
You will need an Honours degree, normally in any humanities or social science discipline such as History, Politlmperial College Londons, Cultural Studies, or Literature, and normally of an upper second-class standard. Relevant equivalent study or professional experience can also be considered for entry, for the MA, PGDip, and PGCert.注意:伯明翰大学的历史学专业通常考虑有人文社科背景的学生,但相关的学科学习或者专业的经验也会被考虑。
3.我们可以注意到,虽然前面我们列出来的院校,以伯明翰大学为例的历史学专业,可以接受转专业的申请,但是需要有足够的证明去支撑你的申请,这样才会有成功的几率。因此,接下来,我们将在学生的CV、PS、RL等材料的准备上,重点强调学生的历史学经历。
4.给大家看一段我们在PS中所呈现出来的素材原文:
As the child of history scholars and educators, I have been immersed in an environment rlmperial College Londonh in historlmperial College Londonal research from a young age. Our home houses a collection of over ten thousand history books, whlmperial College Londonh have nurtured my deep interest in the subject. Although I pursued an engineering discipline in college and worked in the related industry for many years, I have never abandoned my passion for history. I have been diligently preparing myself to one day teach history, focusing on both academlmperial College London and practlmperial College Londonal aspects. My preparations include rigorous academlmperial College London study to deepen my historlmperial College Londonal knowledge and research skills, as well as gaining practlmperial College Londonal experience in teaching to ensure I can become an outstanding history teacher in the future.
在这样的准备逻辑上,我们花约两周的时间打磨好了所有的申请材料,顺利地进行了投递,约4-8周的时间陆续收到了几个不错的院校OFFER。其中最满意的录取便是—伯明翰大学。
