关于AIVA
The Academy of International Visual Arts (AIVA), founded in 2005, is an independent art and design institution located in central Shanghai, China. Over the past 18 years, it has evolved into a thriving creative hub with a strong international network in the field of art and design higher education.
Recognizing the growing trend of Chinese students pursuing art and design education in the UK and acknowledging the significant differences between the British and Chinese educational systems, AIVA aims to design a bridging course to prepare students for their future studies in UK higher education.
AIVA offers two one-year programs: the Foundation and Pre-MA Studies in Art and Design. The concept behind these programs is to reconstruct the foundation courses by integrating curricula from both British and Chinese educational systems. These programs establish and maintain an accredited and regulated standard of further and higher education. The subjects covered in the programs include Fine Art, Visual Communication, Fashion, Jewellery, Product Design, Interior Design, Moving Image, Architecture, and Management.
The primary objective of AIVA is to develop students' academic proficiency in art and design practice and facilitate their transition from studying in China to studying in the UK. AIVA also takes responsibility for enhancing students' language skills to meet the qualifications required for studying in the UK and assists students with visa applications towards the end of the academic year. The innovation of AIVA's program will, on one hand, economically enable students to experience foundation training in their own country and, on the other hand, allow UK institutions to ensure the quality of recruited students from China.
AIVA's local teaching staff have all received training in UK higher education and graduated with distinctions. This includes both full-time staff based in Shanghai and visiting part-time lecturers from other leading institutions, such as the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing and the China Academy of Fine Art in Hangzhou. To foster this "international" course, AIVA welcomes suggestions and academic contributions from art institutions on a global scale..

AIVA国际艺术教育,成立于2005年，是一所位于中国上海市中心的独立艺术与设计机构。在过去的19年里，它已经发展成为一个繁荣的创意中心，在艺术和设计高等教育领域建立了强大的国际网络。
鉴于越来越多的中国学生选择在英国学习艺术与设计，以及英国和中国教育体系之间的显著差异，AIVA旨在设计一门过渡课程，以为学生未来在英国高等教育中的学习做准备。
我们提供两个为期一年的项目，分别是艺术与设计的基础课程（L3/L4 Foundation)和预硕士（L6 Pre-MA）研究。这些项目的背后理念是通过理解来自英国和中国教育体系的课程，重构基础课程。这两个项目建立并维持了进一步和高等教育的认可和规范标准。这些项目涵盖的学科包括美术、视觉传达、时装、珠宝、产品设计、室内设计、移动影像、建筑和管理。
AIVA的首要目标是培养学生在艺术与设计实践中的学术能力，并帮助他们顺利过渡到在中国的学习到英国的学习。AIVA还负责提升学生的语言能力，以满足在英国学习所需的资格，并在学年结束时协助学生进行签证申请。AIVA项目的创新将在一方面经济上帮助学生在自己的国家体验基础培训，另一方面，让英国机构确保从中国招募的学生的质量。
AIVA的本地教学人员都接受了英国高等教育的培训，并以优异的成绩毕业。这包括在上海的全职教职员工以及来自其他领先机构的兼职讲师，例如北京的中央美术学院和杭州的中国美术学院。为了培养这个“国际化”课程，AIVA欢迎全球艺术机构提出建议和学术贡献。
