1.1.3 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

RCA對於作品集的要求比較綜合，既要求較強的設計能力，也要求比較強的設計呈現，在此基礎上，學校還要求項目的豐富性與執行過程的展示。

1.2 關於課程的解讀

1.2.1 RCA課程主幹：

Platform 22. Design Through Making

Platform 23. Design for Manufacture

Platform 24. Object Mediated Interactions

Platform 25. Design as Catalyst

Platform 26. Exploring Emergent Futures

1.2.2 關鍵詞：

Making

Manufacture

Interaction

Strategy/Downstream

Explore

1.2.3 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

RCA的主幹課程體系（平台）中能看出學校對於實際設計部分的重視，從模型製作、生產加工、戰略與下游等等內容。所以作品集中需要有一個強有力的包含設計全程的項目，並且需要體現出一定的CMP的內容。

2.CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS | 倫藝中央聖馬丁

MA INDUSTRIAL DESIGN

學制：2年

費用：12365英鎊/年

語言：雅思總分6.5分，單科不低於5.5分

2.1.2 關鍵詞：

A rang of

A number of

Generate

Communicate

Design Process

Analysis

2.1.3 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

CSM的作品集要求中多次提到 a range of 或 a number of 等辭彙，意思是比較強調多種方法和多種思路的運用。同時，由於設計思維的抽象性，設計師需要能夠很好地溝通和表達自己的想法，所以CSM的要求中也寫到了communicate一詞。

2.2 關於課程的解讀

2.2.1 CSM課程主幹：

Unit 1: Critical and Methodological Approaches to Design consists of a series of projects varying in length from one to six weeks. These introduce a variety of research methods and issues relevant to the discipline, which are then directly implemented in the creation/realisation of design work. The unit also concludes collaborative projects with students from other courses across the college.

Unit 2: Positioning and Professional Practice focuses on positioning design practice through a review of professional design practice, by engaging external agencies and expertise, and reflection of this activity through design practice. The unit consist of 1×8 week project, 3×1 week projects and 6 weeks of studio practice.

Unit 3: Self-Directed Design Research requires the student to specify, manage, implement and evaluate a Self-Directed Design Project informed by themes and issues identified in Unit 2. This unit consist of 20 weeks self-directed study with tutorial support.

2.2.2 關鍵詞：

Research Methods

Collaborative

Multi-Discipline

Self-Directed

Tutorial

2.2.3 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

作品集的要求中體現出學校對差異化思路的要求，而主幹課程中也能體現出這一點，學校的「Multi-Discipline」的思維貫穿課程的第一部分，同時也要求學習眾多思維和方法。所以，基於CSM這一風格，作品集中需要體現出各種「方法」的運用，並且體現出能夠綜合運用的設計能力。

3.The University of Edinburgh | 愛丁堡大學

MA Product Design

學制：1年

費用：19000英鎊/年

語言：雅思總分6.5分，單科不低於6.0分

3.1 關於作品集的解讀

3.1.1 作品集要求：

Your portfolio should demonstrate evidence of:

-excellent ability to think critically through drawing and making

-strong ability to critically analyse current situations involving the interactions between people and products

-strong ability to communicate preferred design-led future situations through the development and resolution of drawings, models, prototypes, and mock-ups in various physical and material media formats

-strong understanding of contemporary design challenges and themes relevant to designed products and the people for whom they are designed

-ability to engage people centred research activities relevant to product design

-a high level of individuality, originality and creativity

3.1.2 關鍵詞：

critically

communicate

drawing

mock-up/model/prototype

people-centred

research

individuality/originality/creativity

3.1.3 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

愛丁堡的要求中，比較在乎嚴謹的思路和執行，學校的作品集要求中甚至詳細提到設計執行的幾大步驟，並且相關模型的詞多次出現：models, prototypes, mock-ups，這些內容都是需要在項目創作過程中運用和體現的。 另外，學校在要求中也提到people-centred research, 所以項目最好能幹體現出UCD的設計思維。

3.2 關於課程的解讀

3.2.1 愛丁堡大學課程主幹：

One-year MA degree

If you choose to pursue the one year MA degree, you will engage your dissertation in the summer period following the first year of study, focusing on the development of an individual project which emphasises product theory in context.

Emphasis on the MA degree pathway is to prepare students with interests in design management, policy or direction, or pursuing further academic research programmes such as the PhD.

3.2.2 關鍵詞：

One-Year MA:

Product Theory

Context

Design Management

Policy Direction

Two-Year MFA:

Research

Develop

Deliver

Making

Prototyping

Manufacture

3.2.3 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

由於絕大部分申請都是一年的，所以在一年的課程設置中，在除了設計思維和方法的內容外，學校比較強調理論方法和實際設計的「語境（context）」，也就是平時我們常說的design for real needs. 所以輔導過程中會結合作品集要求和課程梗概加強真實與落地項目部分。

4.Loughborough University | 拉夫堡大學

MA Industrial Design and Technology

4.2.3 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

拉夫堡的課程體系比較均衡，既強調設計本身的能力如設計技法和思路，也包含設計下游的拓展，如商業化和生產加工等。所以在作品集輔導的策略上，需要在內容安排上兼顧前後，並且在呈現層次上儘可能豐富。

5.Glasgow School of Art | 格拉斯哥藝術學院

Product Design Engineering MSc

學制：1年

費用：15240 英鎊/年

5.1.2/ 關鍵詞：

25 image

self-explanatory

research

development

technical

5.1.3/ 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

因為是MSc的專業，所以作品集要求了強調了 development 和 technical 這類辭彙，這個與大部分國內本科生工業設計知識體系是有區別的，特別是藝術類工業設計方向。 所以在GSA的作品集準備上，會比較注重材料、結構等方面的分析，以適應院校要求。

5.2 關於課程的解讀

5.2.1 格拉斯哥藝術學院課程主幹：

Core courses

-Advanced manufacture

-Core research skills for postgraduates

-Human factors

Data

5.2.3 馬克筆設計留學獨家解讀：

主幹課程里有很多關於engineering 和 manufacture 的內容，這部分內容需要通過作品後期的CMP分析來完成；而院校提到的 Human Factor 和 Ergonomics 部分內容，最好能夠通過製作過程中對於人機的分析與提升部分來做體現。
