关于英国留学入学时间,大家普遍了解的情况是秋季入学,第二年夏天结束一学年的学习。普遍说来,英国大学的入学时间跟国内相同,都是秋季(9或10月份)入学,到第二年夏天(6或7月份)为一学年,每学年分为三学期,称之为:第一学期autumn term 9月底-12月初,之后是圣诞假期;第二学期Spring term 1月初-3月中下旬,之后为复活节假期;第三个学期summer term 4月中旬-6月中旬下旬,之后为暑假。一般每个学期10周,这个时间安排称之为Academic Calendar。
这里说一下题外话,关于学期安排大部分大学几乎相差不大,当然也有一些例外的情况,比如:
1 对每个学期的名称称呼有不同,比例,剑桥大学的三个学期称之为 Michaelmas, Lent, Easter ,牛津大学称之为 Michaelmas, Hilary, Trinity;
2 并不是每个学期都正好是10周,很多大学第一和第二学期的时间稍长,第三个学期时间较短,而且最后一个学期后面的时间主要是考试,基本考试结束就相当于该学期结束;
3 同一个大学每年有时会由于每年节假日的不同而进行调整,所以学期分配每年会有调整;
4 部分大学在第二学期中间有一个”reading week”,没有课堂教学,相当于放假一周;
5 部分苏格兰大学只开设两个学期,如圣安德鲁University of St Andrews: Martinmas, Candlemas,第一个学期为秋季开学到圣诞节,第二个学期为1月份到5月底,期间3月中下旬有两周的春假。
但是,优越教育的资深顾问婷婷老师表示,尽管英国大多数的课程都开始于秋季,但是依然有不少大学提供春季开学的课程(英国本科与硕士预科,大一文凭课程,以及少部分的本科与硕士课程都提供春季入学)。而适合申请英国春季入学的主要有以下几类学生:
1 由于之前有其他打算错过了秋季入学申请机会,临时需要申请英国留学的,比如参加高考、考研失败的同学或者本科毕业后找工作不理想的同学;
2 秋季申请由于竞争太激烈而导致申请失败的同学;
3 准备语言考试太晚,没来得及申请秋季入学的同学;
4 之前由于重修或者补考,没有达到秋季入学通知书要求的条件的同学。
接下来,婷婷老师具体说明一下英国春季入学本科和硕士的特色。显然,对于秋季入学,不管是从专业还是学校角度,可选择的范围更广,但是春季入学有其自身的优势:
1 首先,如果等到第二年秋季再入学其实相当于白白浪费了一年,如果达到直接入读的条件,不需要再上语言班或者预科班的,春季直接入学可以节省等待的时间;
2 普遍说来,英国大学春季入学申请人数比秋季少,申请成功率相对会比较高,我们都了解,秋季申请过程中,由于申请人数过多,很多满足入学要求的学生由于名额竞争压力大而拿不到录取通知书;
3春季入学也很理想地避免了秋季入学带来的签证申请高峰。
另外,要提醒大家的是,有的同学会担心春季开学的课程不如秋季开学的正规,教学质量比秋季开学低,但这一点是丝毫不用担心的,因为两类课程唯一的区别就是开学时间,其他都是一样的,不管是课程设置、教学质量、所能享受的教学资源、学习评估方法标准还是所获证书的认可程度。
然后,我们简单说一下一般的申请时间计划表:
8、9月份:选择申请院校,准备制作申请材料;
9、10月份:递交材料,准备语言考试;
10、11月份:收到通知书,满足学校相关录取通知书条件,选择入读院校。交押金申请签证所需CAS;
11、12月份:安排好住宿、递交签证申请;
12、01月份:获得签证,准备入学。
接下来,同学们会担心春季开学后,课时如何安排,具体的毕业时间等。一般来说,不同学校会有不同的安排,春季开学学生毕业时间分两种。一种是比秋季入学的同学晚一个学期毕业(Courses with a January start will finish a semester later than those that started in September ),比如伦敦都市大学等,这种普遍适用于硕士;第二种是,将第一学年的课程压缩,假期减短,这样第二年跟前一年秋季入学同步开设课程(Studying from January through to July, with a short break at Easter, allows students to join the second-years in September),比如考文垂大学等,这种普遍适用于本科。
最后,我们选取一些伦敦地区春季开学的本科与硕士课程供大家参:
