In the past, the paper score points, now the domestic insurance research institute is also the same as the foreign comprehensive evaluation, and the portfolio, competition, practical experience, academic achievements, etc. in the comprehensive evaluation have become the new volume king track.
At the current stage of the development of art and design, the portfolio has become the standard, and the academic achievements in the past two years have also changed from a plus point to a baseline. Today we will talk about the necessity of internships and competitions.

Let's first take a look at the attitude of domestic insurance research institutes towards internships.
The era of grade point supremacy is passing, and now Baoyan pays more and more attention to the comprehensive quality of students, and internship experience has also become an important way to show comprehensive quality.
Especially for some of the top institutions, they are increasingly looking for students with extensive internship experience. The 2024 admission assessment of the Academy of Arts and Design, Tsinghua University, will be included in the comprehensive inspection scope.

Therefore, for applicants who want to study TOP design, internship experience is also crucial. Moreover, the internship experience in a large factory can not only improve the practical operation ability and understand the development of the industry, but also a strong proof of their comprehensive quality.
In addition, some design tutors may have a high reputation in the industry, so they are more inclined to recruit students with practical experience.

Among the 23 successful students of Hanyi, there are many students who have participated in internships in the four years of university, such as T from Tongji PSSD who has successfully participated in the design planning of a party A company in Shanghai, and C who has successfully participated in the design and planning of Tongji Interactive Design in Weilai UX at the internship post......

Let's take a look at studying abroad. There are two types of attitudes towards internship experience in foreign institutions:
One is.
Fashion design is a major that pays more attention to whether the applicant's undergraduate background is appropriate, and requires four years of experience in fashion production in college. For example, LCF's Fashion Master's program mentions that applicants are required to meet the academic foundation of fashion design.

However, students continue to look at the content in the red box in the picture above, and it is not impossible to apply across disciplines, and they can use relevant academic or work experience, the quality of their personal statement, etc. as evaluation criteria. It will make up for the lack of your academic background and lead to a formal offer.
The second is.
Master of Architecture in Urban Design and Master of Architecture in Urban Design and Landscape Architecture from GSD, Harvard University.

To sum up, if students want to go to top comprehensive colleges and universities at home and abroad, or prepare for interdisciplinary applications, then internships are a powerful tool to show their teamwork, communication creativity and creative implementation ability and fill the shortcomings of academic background.
Of course, sometimes when it comes to internships, students may be a little resistant, on the one hand, they are a little resistant to going to the "other world" of adults, and on the other hand, they do not have the experience of picking a good internship.
And like students who are preparing for graduate school and studying abroad, everyone usually has to prepare application materials and the creation of portfolios.
These difficulties are indeed understandable, but it is still recommended that students bravely step out of the campus and get in touch with the real workplace environment of the art and design industry. Even if students do not pursue further studies in the future, they will be directly employed after graduation, and internships will be very beneficial to their job resumes.
Hanyi has recently helped you find several internship programs, students in need may wish to take a look:

Competition mentions, like internships, have different requirements for each school.
For example, the Central Academy of Fine Arts' 2024 assessment method for accepting and exempting students, the application materials mention the "award certificate". It should be noted that there is no such thing as selection or if any, which means that if you want to protect CAFA, you must submit an award certificate.
In 2024, the Central Academy of Fine Arts will accept outstanding fresh undergraduate graduates from other universities to study for master's degree without examination
Not only CAFA, but also domestic design colleges and universities that can be called famous have basically taken out the award certificate from the selection materials and made it a mandatory material

When participating in the summer school program, it is not enough to simply complete the coursework of the summer school, actively connect with the professors, and strive to improve the chances of obtaining letters of recommendation, which will add substance to the background of the application to study abroad.
