先说说我的情况.我申请的是英国的大学,专业是textile design.~我知道伦敦艺术大学的切尔西和圣马Textiles都很好.可惜我没有录取还给那个面试老师批得一无是处!当时又伤心又担心就自己申请了很多所学校,没想到后来全部都录取了!果然伦艺就是变态啊...
现在拿到offer的有:
1. The glasgow school of art
2. Brighton Uni
3. loughborough uni
4. heriot-watt uni
6. nottingham trent uni
7. birmingham city uni
8. 还有hudderfield, lincoln uni 给力奖学金我
没想到我会拿到那么多录取!!现在纠结死了!!结果看了看times,卫报之类的art and design排名!雷焦了有木有!!!和美国的ranking差远了!英国那排名就是赤裸裸的玩笑啊!!!可怜了各位给它误导的学生!!!但是不看排名难道飞去英国慢慢看慢慢研究吗?!
纠结又着急之下只有在各个论坛请教:有学习艺术的师兄师姐吗? 想知道学校专业的情况啊~越详细越好!辛苦了!.也希望能在国外工作2,3年拿点经验再回国自己发展.请大家给些意见我!!!实在是选择困难呢!!谢谢大家!!一把面条泪~

其实感觉英国的艺术排名不仅对海外学生没帮助,感觉外国人也觉得不满.偶尔在一个论坛上看到外国学生讨,复制了下来,有兴趣的可以看看他们的感受:

It depends on what you're looking for. League tables and rankings are extremely misleading especially for art related things. For example Parson's is often cited as one of America's best art schools and while they've produced alot of big hitters in the realms of fashion and graphic design, they are yet to produce a notable contemporary artist. There's a big difference in quality and esteem between different programs at certain schools and likewise between the quality of undergrad programs and grad programs i.e a school with a highly regarded grad program won't necessarily have a good undergrad program and vice versa.

If you're interested in studying Fine Art in the US you might want to check out some of the following art schools for undergrad (BA):

Rhode Island School of Design
School of The Art Institute of Chicago
Maryland Institute College of Art
School of The Museum of Fine Art
The Cooper Union
School of Visual Arts
San Francisco Art Institute

As well as Bard, Wesleyan and Brown which are not art schools in themselves but have managed to produced a few popular contemporary artists and are reputed to have very good fine art programs.

For Grad School (i.e MA) in the US you should check out:

Yale
Columbia
UCLA
Calarts
SAIC

In Germany it's commonly accepted that the two best art schools
in the country are The HFBK Staedelschule and the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (where i currently am). There's also the visual arts academy in leipzig which has produced a burst of popular artists in the last few years

In the UK I get the impression that Chelsea, St Martin's, Slade, Goldsmith's and The Glasgow School of Art are the best places to do your BA. I have several friends doing their postgrad studies in London and the unanimous impression i get from them is that despite the Ruskin's high selectivity, its students don't seem to place well in any of the major grad programs. One said friend is currently studying at the RA and went on to say that his year is composed almost exclusively of slade and chelsea students. Oh and the best grad programs in London atm are supposed to be the RCA, Chelsea and the RA though the MA programs at Slade and Goldsmiths are also quite popular.

There's also the Danish Royal Academy of Art which has produced a few big hitters as well ( Olafur Eliasson and Tal R)

The Rietveld in holland was also supposed to be quite good but during my time in germany i've met a few students who began studying there but transferred to the kunstakademie dusseldorf. They all claim that for fine art, The Rietveld just isn't what it used to be.

Please keep in mind that this is by no means a definitive list and my suggestions are based on a fickle combination of hearsay and each schools individual track record of producing major contemporary artists. It's good to keep in mind that despite reputation and track record there is no such thing as an absolute best school, especially at the undergrad level.

I would assume they are in some kind of ranking, seeing as I can't see any other way they are sorted, but Slade is only on page 2, and they don't mention Rhode Island school of design on the top 5 pages (I stopped looking after that)

In america:

Top 10 Masters of Fine Arts Program Ranking:

1 Rhode Island School of Design
2 Yale
3 School of the Art Institute of Chicago
4 Cranbrook Academy
4 Maryland Institute
4 Virginia Commonwealth University
7 California Institute
7 CMU
7 UCLA
10 Alfred University

However, the Pratt Institute is often listed as one of the top american art schools, as is Parsons.

In the UK the art & design tables arent as accurate, with places like Kent, Lancaster, and Bangor appearing above the UAL schools, and Goldsmiths. Oxford (Ruskin) and UCL (Slade) usually top the charts, with GSA and ECA making an appearance in the top 10. However the Times did produce an article listing the UAL schools, UCL, Oxford, RCA, ECA, GSA as being the best british art schools (in no order).

I know that the University of Art and Design Helsinki, the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, and Oslo National Academy of the Arts are highly rated.

As for my personal views on these places, I don't know, but this should give you some ground to research these places on.
