【西迪斯翻譯公司】從象牙塔里出來(lái)的大學(xué)生，往往在復(fù)雜的社會(huì)問(wèn)題面前一籌莫展。為了更好地適應(yīng)現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的需求，西迪斯翻譯公司了解到英國(guó)將開辦一所新型跨學(xué)科大學(xué)，所設(shè)置的全部課程都將以解決現(xiàn)實(shí)問(wèn)題為目標(biāo)，比如兒童肥胖、持刀犯罪、塑料污染等。
Getting a university degree has never seemed more important: college graduates earn more money, live longer, and are happier. But college degrees are expensive (especially in the US), narrowly focused (especially in the UK), and often fail to build the skills employers want (true in most countries).
大學(xué)學(xué)位似乎從來(lái)不曾像現(xiàn)在這樣重要：大學(xué)畢業(yè)生收入更高、壽命更長(zhǎng)，也更幸福。但是大學(xué)學(xué)位很燒錢（尤其在美國(guó)），教學(xué)范圍太狹窄（尤其在英國(guó)），經(jīng)常不能培養(yǎng)出雇主想要的技能（在多數(shù)國(guó)家都是如此）。
A new university in the UK wants to change that.
英國(guó)的一所新大學(xué)想要改變這一現(xiàn)狀。
The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), which will launch in 2021 with a target of 100 students, will scrap traditional academic subjects and offer a three-year bachelor of arts and sciences degree designed to tackle real-world issues. The curriculum is built around interdisciplinary problems—knife crime, childhood obesity, palm oil in supply chains, plastic pollution—as well as quantitative and qualitative research skills. Employers like the Met Police, Innocent, and Virgin will provide project ideas and offer five-week work experience for students.
將于2021年成立的倫敦跨學(xué)科學(xué)院（LIS）將招收100名學(xué)生，該學(xué)院將摒棄傳統(tǒng)的學(xué)科，提供三年制文科和理科學(xué)士學(xué)位，以解決現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的問(wèn)題為目標(biāo)，圍繞持刀犯罪、兒童肥胖、棕櫚油供應(yīng)鏈、塑料污染等跨學(xué)科問(wèn)題以及定量和定性研究技能來(lái)設(shè)置課程。倫敦警察廳、天真飲料公司和維珍集團(tuán)等雇主將為學(xué)生提供項(xiàng)目創(chuàng)意以及五周的實(shí)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)。
The idea is similar to a US liberal arts degree (a rarity in the UK) but also more explicitly focused on “interdisciplinarity,” or drawing on multiple subjects—economics, psychology, sociology, statistics—to solve complex problems like childhood obesity. In other words, the problem, not the subject, sits at the center of the curriculum. The skills students develop, the founders hope, will more closely align with what an AI-infused, automated world demands: collaboration between people and machines, critical thinking, speaking and writing skills, and data management, to name just a few things.
該學(xué)院的理念類似于美國(guó)的人文科學(xué)學(xué)位（在英國(guó)很罕見(jiàn)），但顯然更注重“跨學(xué)科”，或利用多個(gè)學(xué)科——經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)、心理學(xué)、社會(huì)學(xué)、統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)——的內(nèi)容來(lái)解決兒童肥胖這樣的復(fù)雜問(wèn)題。換言之，問(wèn)題，而非學(xué)科，在課程設(shè)置中占據(jù)中心地位。創(chuàng)辦者希望，學(xué)生們發(fā)展的技能——人和機(jī)器的協(xié)作、批判性的思考、說(shuō)話和寫作技能、數(shù)據(jù)管理等等——將能和一個(gè)充斥著人工智能的自動(dòng)化世界的需求接軌。
Students will tackle problems through various disciplines: knife crime, for example, by understanding cultural and socioeconomic factors in different neighborhoods, data science, statistics, publicly available data, an economics or psychology lens.
學(xué)生們將利用多個(gè)學(xué)科的知識(shí)來(lái)解決問(wèn)題。以持刀犯罪為例，通過(guò)理解不同社區(qū)的文化和社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)因素，利用公開數(shù)據(jù)，從數(shù)據(jù)科學(xué)、統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)或心理學(xué)的角度來(lái)分析。
In the UK, students apply through a central clearinghouse, and exam results are paramount. At LIS, students will instead apply directly and all will be invited to a “selection day” which will include a face-to-face interview so that LIS can understand a student’s background, motivations, and passions. Interviews will be conducted by a panel to minimize bias. Conditional offers will be granted based on personal background, circumstances and, also, grades.
在英國(guó)，學(xué)生們通過(guò)招生服務(wù)中心申請(qǐng)大學(xué)，考試成績(jī)至關(guān)重要。在倫敦跨學(xué)科學(xué)院，學(xué)生可以直接申請(qǐng)，所有學(xué)生都會(huì)受邀在一個(gè)“選拔日”參加現(xiàn)場(chǎng)面試，學(xué)院借此來(lái)了解一個(gè)學(xué)生的背景、動(dòng)機(jī)和愛(ài)好。面試將由專門小組進(jìn)行，以將個(gè)人偏見(jiàn)的影響降到最低。學(xué)院將會(huì)基于學(xué)生的背景、情況以及分?jǐn)?shù)進(jìn)行擇優(yōu)錄取。
看到這里的你有沒(méi)有更加想去英國(guó)留學(xué)的沖動(dòng)呢？想要申請(qǐng)留學(xué)、出國(guó)旅行的護(hù)照證件等翻譯都可找我們西迪斯翻譯公司來(lái)幫您快速實(shí)現(xiàn)哦！ 西迪斯翻譯公司翻譯熱線：023-6122 0666
