With the continuous rise in domestic students' demand for overseas education, Canada has attracted the attention of many international students with its rich educational resources. However, when art students choose to study abroad, comprehensive rankings and major rankings often become a tangle of trouble.
So, when choosing a university to study in Canada, which ranking should we focus on? Generally speaking, the overall ranking symbolizes a broader international reputation, while the professional ranking represents a higher standard of excellence in the professional field.
These two completely different social cognitions are the root cause of many friends suffering from choice difficulties.
Comprehensive Ranking VS Professional Ranking
Comprehensive ranking advantage
1. The halo of a prestigious school brings more self-confidence and employment opportunities.
2. The school has more resources, which helps to broaden the horizons.
3. Better scholarship and bursary opportunities.
Comprehensive ranking drawbacks
If you want to go to a prestigious school, and your score is not very competitive, of course, art is more important for portfolio. It is recommended to choose a suitable art major as much as possible, because if you don't choose it properly, you will face a lot of difficulties in your future studies; In the future, you may also feel pressure and pain because you can't enter the right industry and take on work you don't like.
Professional ranking advantage
1. Learning is motivated and it is easier to achieve results.
2. Don't take detours, career development is smoother.
Professional ranking drawbacks
It also costs a lot of money to study abroad, and if you go to a not so good school, you are unwilling, and you are also worried that some job search companies do not understand the special row.
However, as an art freelancer, there are certain advantages when it comes to starting a business.
When to choose a professional ranking?
First of all, if you have a strong academic passion for your art major and are determined to specialize in this field, then it is recommended to prioritize the professional rankings.
Therefore, institutions with outstanding professional rankings will accumulate a large number of research results in a specific field, can absorb sufficient research funds, and most importantly, will gather professors and supervisors with a reputation in the industry, and the top network resources in the circle can be scarce. Even if you are employed in the middle of the job, it will be easier to be favored by employers with the recommendation of alumni networks in the industry.
Secondly, it is recommended that art students refer to the professional rankings, so that they can acquire high-quality art professional knowledge, which will be helpful for future employment or applying for a master's degree.
In addition, if a student intends to find a job in the local area after graduation, the ranking of majors can also be prioritized, as well as the comparison of the curriculum of different art universities. Different schools, even if the major ranking is the same, but the focus of the major is different.
When to choose the overall ranking?
Elite schools usually have more abundant resources, and when cultivating students, they will focus more on insight, thinking ability, humanistic accomplishment, civic awareness, communication skills, and so on. Therefore, from the perspective of personal comprehensive development, the comprehensive ranking will be more appropriate.
After all, the school's cultivation of comprehensive ability, the resources that the school can give and the "halo of a famous school" are basically based on the overall situation of a school. The overall ranking gives a better picture of the overall situation of the school.
If you plan to return to your home country for employment after graduation, it is also recommended to choose the comprehensive ranking. After all, after returning to China, domestic HR will indeed pay more attention to the background of famous schools, and some related welfare policies will also be directly related to the ranking of colleges and universities.
Preference is given to recommendations for comprehensive rankings
1. Be sure to refer to the university rankings in different rankings for comprehensive comparison and analysis.
2. Not only is it difficult to get into a prestigious school, but it is also not easy to graduate. It is important to enter a prestigious school, but you must consider your own strength.
3. Tuition fees and cost of living are to be considered. Tuition fees at elite schools tend to be higher, and the higher the rankings, the more expensive the tuition fees usually become.
4. The location of Canada schools is also important. Studying in a big city or a small township is really different.
