[+]简介
进入这个课程是非常有挑战性的,这是一个全时间的课程,我们将设计师视为社会上一个重要的推进力量,因此课程集中在专业的设计案调查,策划与制作上。我们将有独立而完整的企业设计案计划,让学生能体验真实社会中的设计流程实况。透过坚强的师资及不定期的名设计师教学,我们的毕业生往往在设计界拥有极高的职位和知名度。
我们认为今日设计师面临两个挑战,一是科技的演变造成艺术创作手法大为不同。二是设计和科技对社会的影响越来越大。我们认为理念比视觉重要,设计与科技两者都对世界进步贡献良多,进入这个课程的学生将学着如何用研究理念去解决设计案中的问题。不论学生对未来的兴趣是大众化的,商业的还是学术界的,他们将不只是科技推广者,而是一个具有独特设计理念,充满天份的未来创造者。

[+]课程
设计与科技课程探索了数字科技和创意过程的世界。我们的领域在于多媒体,计算机学Physical Computing,动画和传播设计Broadcast Design。我们认为纯艺术和设计是没有什么分别的,但是我们将工艺与创作过程分开来,如此学生发展的范围就更大了。在这个课程里,学生将像是在大设计公司一样的发展设计案,并独立制作,或团体合作来完成这些设计案。
真实设计业界和这个课程的关系是相当紧密的。大部份的学生都将会有兼职的设计工作,毕业后也有一年的实习。申请这课程最理想的是在大学就要有BFA艺术创作学士学位。此外,我们也培养优良的纽约市设计师资与人才,在学术界和业界里都有与我们相关的机构,例如纽约市的Silicon Alley硅谷,卓越的设计公司等,都提供了非常好的工作机会。
[+]新设计中心介绍Center for New Design
1999年9月成立的新设计中心,是帕森斯学校所主持的。目前已经完成了多件卓越的设计案和理论发表。在这里就像是一个以设计案为基础的研究中心,我们探索与发展非常多的领域,如先进的设计媒材,新科技,新的产品制造与规划。
专业实习Professional Internship
研究生们拥有非常多的实习机会,我们和大设计公司的合作案非常多,学生可自行挑选有兴趣的领域来实习。与本研究所有合作关系的案主有下列知名公司: IBM Watson Research Labs (IBM华特森研究室),MoMa(当代美术馆),MTV(MTV音乐台),Sony Interactive (新力音乐),等等 执教机会Opportunities For Teaching
这个课程的研究生第一年将负责在教室内协助大学部的学生,想要增强执教能力的学生可以进修”Teaching Design教育课程设计”,部份卓越的学生可在第二年就执教大学部的课程。有兴趣追求更高学位与执教机会的学生可以再修由帕森斯设计学院和新社会研究大学所提供的课程。
可选修的课Support Electives
每一学期研究生都可选修二种或三种的技术学习的课程,例如软件使用,先进仪器使用等课程。共有数百种选修课程由帕森斯设计学院和新社会研究大学一起提供(计算机平面设计选修课也包括在内)。
[+]财力证明文件准备指南
摘译自学校目录2000~2001 Guidelines for Financial Documentation
New School University (NSU) is very strict about financial documentation. We try to be as demanding as the toughest US Embassy or Consulate. Our purpose is to insure that students are not denied visas because of financial problems. We require all students to meet these standards.
新学校大学(NSU)在财力证明文件上是非常严格的,我们试着像美国移民局那样严格。校方的目的是要保证学生不会因为财力问题的关系被美国移民局拒发签证,我们希望学生能遵守以下规定。
1.You must have sufficient funds to complete each year of study. You may rely on funds from personal bank accounts, stock accounts, mutual funds, bonds, or other similar sources. You may also rely on account that belong to your sponsor(s). In either case you must show at the time you submit your I-20 Request Form that you (or your sponsor) have or will have prior to the beginning of each academic year sufficient fund to pay for year of study in your program.
1.你必须要有足够的财力来完成你每年的学业,你可以靠你自己在银行的户头,股票,共同基金,抵押,或是其它类似的资源。你也可以依靠你的保证人。当你提出学生签证申请表时,都必须附上这两种资源中的一种。以表示你或你的保证人在每学年开始前都有足够的资金付你每年课程就读费用。
2. Personal Founs. Students can sponsor themselves in part or in full. Recent bank statements in your name must be provided for at least the current year (see #7 below). However, additional resource for continuing study must also be indicated, such as a trust fund, sponsor, etc. All students must prove that they will have support for each year of study.
2.个人担保.学生可以自己担保自己一部份或是全部。最近的银行存款证明(上面必须要有你的名字)一定要能提供至少是今年的学费。(请看下面第七项)不过,能继续念下去的钱也需要有信用证明,或是保证人提供。所有的学生必须都要证明自己能负担的了每年的学费。
3. Scholarships and assistantships. You can submit an original ( or certified copy of a ) letter on official letterhead from a private or government scholarship board stating how much money is to be given and for how many years. Award letter must be in English or a certified translation, and monetary amount must be converted to US dollars. If you received a scholarship award from New School University., you also need to send a copy of the award letter.
3.奖学金和助教奖学金.你可以提出一个原稿(或是复印件)证明你已拿到一个私人机构或是政府的奖学金。这份正式文件上必须要有记载共多少钱,共可拿多少元。文件也必须是英文或是已经合法翻译的,而且金额必须已换成美元。如果你是拿到NSU的奖学金,你同样也需要附上一份奖学金的复印件。
4.You may have one or more sponsors. A Sponsor’s Affidavit of Support (or sponsor’s sworn statement) and financial documents must be provided for each sponsor. It is highly recommended that at least part of your financial support originate from your home country. This shows that you have ties to your home country and usually make s it easier to get an F-1 visa. If you have several sponsors, photocopy the original form, but note that once these copies are filled out, each one with original writing must be notarized and submitted.
你可以有一位或是更多位的保证人,每个保证人都必须提出一封保证人宣誓书(或是宣誓文件)以及财力文件。我们强烈建议你这些财力最好都是来自你的母国。这代表你回国意愿较高,而学生签证对你而言也会较容易拿到。如果你有数字的保证人,请影印保证人填写表格,但是记得只要表格填好了(每一份都要是原始填写的那份),一定要拿去经过公证才会被接受。
Each Sponsor must submit at least two separate documents, and each of these documents must list the sponsor’s name in the same way. 每位保证人都需附上至少两份分开的文件,而且每份文件上写的保证人姓名必须写法相同。
a. A notarized affidavit stating the exact amount that the sponsor will provide per year (form in packet). All your sponsors must sign affidavits in the presence of notary publics who will verify the documents by signing and stamping them with an official seal.
a.一份写有保证人愿意支付费用的保证宣誓书。保证人必须在公证机构前公证签名,接着公证机构会验证这份宣誓书并在上面盖章。
b. A bank statement that states the date the account was opened and the current balance in US dollars. The statement must specify actual dollar amounts. If the sponsor does not want to disclose the exact amount of money in the account, enclose a letter on bank letterhead, with similar wording as on the clipboard.
b.一份银行文件,上面要有开户日期,以及当天存款金额(美金)。这份文件必须有确实的总存款金额。如果保证人不想要将所有的存款都公开出来,可以请银行开立如下表的简单信件证明保证金额。
Sample Bank Letter On Official Letterhead To Whom It May Concern:
(Sponsor’s name) has been a valued customer at our bank for _____years. According to the average annual balance, this client has more thank sufficient funds to cover the cost of $45,000 per year, for the four years of her son’s studies at New School University.
Sincerely,
Name & Title
c. Proof of income can be established by—
1) Letter from the employer on letterhead stating yearly income.
2) Copies of the sponsor’s most recent tax returns specifying income. If the sponsor is self-employed, the tax return should be done by a private banker or accountant, and must include an official statement with the salary paid to the owner.
c.收入证明可用以下方式
1)老板的信件,上面要有年收入金额。
2)保证人的纳税文件,如果保证人是自家公司,纳税文件可透过私人会计师开立证明,但是一定要详载金额和收入。
5.New School University cannot accept documents from banks, US government officials, or any other party that say you (or your sponsor) have “enough” or “sufficient” funds to support a student. Financial documents must state the actual dollar amounts you (or your sponsor) have at your disposal. We will accept documents stating that income or saving are “ in the high five figures in US dollars,” If those documents come from a bank or financial institution. Self-employed sponsors must submit proof of income (for example, income tax returns)
5.本校不接受下列文件,来自银行,美国政府或任何政党的文件,上面写着你或你的保证人有”足够”或”合格”的资金来支持这位学生。财力证明必须详载你或你保证人所能支付的金额。我们能接受的是文件上要有”美元的五位数字”,如果文件是来自银行或会计机构,在家工作的保证人必须提出收入证明。 |
