牛津大学将增加对来自低收入背景学生的奖学金，旨在增加包容性。

从2020年起，来自低收入背景的学生每年可以获得高达£5,000的不可偿还奖学金。这一决定是在该大学强调吸引“未受代表和处于劣势地位的背景学生”的重要性后做出的。

去年，英国顶尖大学牛津和剑桥被指责具有社会排外性，未能吸引英国公立学校合格学生。

去年12月，牛津大学发表声明称，他们“非常清楚”自己“必须更加努力”。

目前，该大学为其学生提供了价值约800万英镑的财政支持，尽管有资格获得[[http://www.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate/fees-and-funding/oxford-support/moritz-heyman-scholarship|Moritz-Heyman奖学金]]的学生将会比目前的£3,700奖学金获得更多的资金。

目前，父母或监护人年收入高达£27,500的学生每年可获得£3,700至£1,700不等的奖学金，这一数字将在2020年增加到£5,000至£4,200。 

牛津大学和剑桥大学从私立学校招生人数“超标”

在有关牛津和剑桥“社会排外”太严重的指控下，[[https://www.suttontrust.com/research-paper/access-to-advantage-university-admissions/|Sutton Trust]]流动性慈善机构表示，顶尖大学吸引的才华范围有限。该慈善机构的新研究显示，牛津和剑桥大学录取了比近3000所英国公立学校合并在一起的学生更多的来自八所顶尖学校的学生。

该研究观察了2015年至2017年的牛津剑桥大学招生情况，发现大多数私立学校，以及少数表现优秀的公立学校和学院，在获得名额方面占据了不成比例的地位。 

Trust创始人彼得·兰普尔爵士表示，所有年轻人都需要“公平机会”，因为研究表明，在三年内，来自八所学校的学生填满了牛津和剑桥的1310个名额，而来自其他2900所学校的学生仅填满了1220个名额。

去年，工党议员大卫·拉米（David Lammy）在一份[[https://news.sky.com/story/oxford-university-told-it-must-do-better-over-diversity-11382531|报告]]发布后对牛津大学进行了抨击，该报告显示，2017年该大学的新本科生中，只有11%来自弱势背景，而英国白人申请者被录取的可能性是他们的黑人同行的两倍。

牛津代表将这一发现归因于大学收到的申请，本娜·汗（Samina Khan），本科招生主任表示：“我们没有获得足够多有才华的黑人申请者。”

牛津大学学生会也强调了“学校存在巨大且无法接受的成绩差距，极大地劣势了黑人学生和那些来自低收入背景等其他未受代表的群体”。   

牛津大学正在尽一切努力“支持来自未受代表和劣势背景的本科生”

该大学学费和资助主任简·戈弗（Jane Gover）表示，牛津学生强烈要求获得更多的“前期资金，以帮助他们在学生时代”。她补充说，这是他们“增加这些资金水平”的唯一原因。

她还表示：“这是大学吸引和支持来自未受代表和劣势背景的本科生工作的重要组成部分。

“我们不希望学生因担心生活费用或参与大学生活的能力而退缩。”

去年，牛津还[[http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2018-05-23-uniq-give-500-extra-students-chance-oxford-success|宣布]]扩大了一个专门面向学术才华出众的来自弱势背景的学生的春季和夏季学校项目。

Choosing a business course is one of the most important decisions you will make in your career, both in terms of what you will learn and the opportunities it will generate throughout your working life, so you should come at it fully informed and prepared.

WMG (formerly Warwick Manufacturing Group) is an academic department at the University of Warwick, with teaching embedded in industry. WMG’s postgraduate courses have been designed to meet the needs and requirements of global industry, while placing an emphasis on innovation and a creative learning environment, so there’s nobody better to speak to for useful tips on how to ensure you end up on a master’s in management program which will boost your career prospects and challenge you intellectually. Here’s what they had to say.

Consult QS rankings and consider location

While university league tables don’t paint the full picture, they can be a useful resource to get a sense of a university’s reputation and how they compare to other institutions.

The University of Warwick, for example, was named in the UK’s top ten universities and was one of the world’s top 60 universities in the QS World University Rankings 2019. It’s position is no fluke either; it’s climbed 10 places globally since 2014.

The city you’ll live in while you study should also be considered, and our QS Best Student Cities ranking enables you to get a sense of how cities compare and the opportunities they offer.

Coventry, for example, which is north of the University of Warwick’s 700-acre campus, was ranked 44th in the latest QS Best Student Cities ranking. Situated in the West Midlands, 6.4 percent of Coventry’s population are students, ensuring you’ll be surrounded by like-minded young people. Of the number of total enrolments, 41 percent are international students, which means campus has a real multicultural feel.

Ensure you choose a program with industry application

You can learn all of the theory in the world, but it will never be able to replicate the experience of having direct contact with industry. Employers are looking for graduates who already possess an understanding of how different aspects of a business work together, and that’s not something you’ll learn in a lecture hall.

WMG students at the University of Warwick benefit from master’s programs with industry relevance which are designed to give you the skills and confidence in the world of work to make effective decisions and manage people. Plus, their lecturers enter the classroom with industry expertise which enables them to keep their teaching relevant to the modern workplace.

Sybella studied Management for Business Excellence at the university, a program which is notably rich in applied exercises and research-based projects. She says: "The practical focus of the course was something I noticed right from the first module. It wasn’t just theoretical learning. The group exercises and simulations meant you could put the theory to work and solve actual business issues. That way, you don’t just absorb information, but find out how to apply it, which is extremely valuable."

Is the learning environment and curriculum right for you?

While all master’s in management degrees ultimately aim to train candidates for the same types of leadership roles, each one will be organised differently, both in terms of its syllabus and the teaching style.

The University of Warwick’s MSc in Management for Business Excellence has a distinctive learning style which focuses on training students to develop critical autonomy and achieve deep learning.

Taught with the WMG department, the course makes use of an e-learning website with interactive content, as well as tutorials, seminars and applied exercises to encourage candidates to think critically and assume responsibility for their own learning.

The MSc covers every aspect of business you would expect a management course to cover, such as financial analysis and control systems, organization, people and performance, leadership and robust decision making.

Talk to faculty, alumni and current students

Of course, one of the best places to gather information about a particular course is from people who’ve already studied it, and a quick search on LinkedIn and Twitter will produce dozens of names of professionals who have attended courses you’re interested in.

It can feel intimidating to email a complete stranger out of the blue, but the feeling wears off once you’ve contacted a few people this way. Try to find profiles of people who are a bit more senior and who you have a connection to - no matter how tenuous. For example, it might be they have attended the same university as you or work for a company you’re interested in joining.

Contact alumni with a short message on Linkedin, something along the lines of: “Dear Jane Smith, I noticed that you’re an alumni of WMG at the University of Warwick and I’m interested in applying to their MSc in Management for Business Excellence. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your experience there. Please let me know if you are interested. Regards.”

Or, you can contact the department or the university directly, and they’ll be happy to put you in touch with alumni.

Don’t be afraid to ask direct questions about what your contact feels the course has brought them and their career trajectory, and treat every coffee meetup as a networking opportunity.

It’s also worth getting in touch with faculty and current students. To do this, you can sign up for open days aimed at prospective students on campus to get a sense of student life there and meet with faculty. The University of Warwick organises regular campus visits and talks for postgraduate students.

The QS World University Rankings by Subject 2019, released today, includes a ranking of the 600 (extended from 500) top universities around the world for computer science, based on a methodology which includes academic reputation, research impact and other factors.

If you want to study computer science in the US, you’re spoilt for choice, with 109 US universities featuring in the 2019 table. Read on as we count down the study destination’s top 10, all of which make the global top 20.

10. New York University (NYU)

Up an impressive 13 spots to rank 20^th in this year’s computer science ranking, New York University (NYU) is one of the highest ranked universities in New York City, and receives a very high score for the ‘citations per paper’ indicator, a measure of research impact.

NYU has been associated with 37 Nobel Laureates and seven Turing Award winners, as well as a large number of inventions and discoveries, ranging from defibrillators, pacemakers, television, cordless telephones, contact lenses and many more.

9. Columbia University

Also based in New York, Columbia University climbed six places this year to rank joint 18^th for computer science alongside China’s Peking University. Like NYU, it gains its best score in the citations per paper indicator, and is well known as a center of important research. It benefits from its location in the huge metropolis of New York City and aims to attract a diverse student body and faculty.  One of the most selective US universities, Columbia counts 38 billionaires among its alumni.

8. University of Washington

Ranked 17^th for computer science this year and eighth in the US, the University of Washington receives high scores for both citations per paper and the ‘H-index’, another measure of research impact. The university’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, which opened its doors in 2003, is a state-of-the-art, 85,000 square-foot facility which cost $72 million. Computer science is one of the most popular majors at Washington, but admission is highly competitive, with only a third of undergraduate applicants successful.

=7. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) is ranked joint 13^th with Princeton University this year and earns its strongest score in the citations per paper category of the computer science ranking. UCLA is known for being the birthplace of the Internet, as nearly 50 years ago in October 1969 a team from the university sent the very first message over the ARPANET, an early computer network which formed the basis for the Internet.

=7. Princeton University

Next in our look at the top computer science schools in the US is Princeton University, down slightly this year at joint 13^th. An Ivy League university, Princeton achieves a near-perfect score for citations per faculty member as well as a high score for the H-index. Its Department of Computer Science within the School of Engineering and Applied Science has educated numerous notable figures such as the ‘father of computer science’ Alan Turing, Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos, and Google executive Eric Schmidt.

5. Harvard University

Harvard University is ranked seventh among the world’s top computer science schools and may be an ideal choice if you’re concerned about your chosen university’s reputation among graduate employers, as it receives a consistently perfect score in the employer reputation indicator. Its John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is involved in ground-breaking research to tackle some of the fundamental problems in science and engineering, and will open a new state-of-the-art expanded campus in Allston in 2020.

4. University of California, Berkeley (UCB)

Ranked fourth both in the US and globally in the computer science ranking, the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) offers two flexible, highly selective undergraduate programs, including the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS), which combines the fundamentals of electrical engineering and computer science in one major. The other option, a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science, gives students the flexibility to explore other fields of interest. 

3. Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon University is ranked third in the world and among the top computer science schools in the US this year, once again achieving a perfect score in the academic reputation category. It’s another school known for being a center of many discoveries and innovations in this field, such as the first Wi-Fi network (created on campus in 1993), several of the first artificial intelligence software programs and programming languages, and Navlab, the first autonomous car program.

2. Stanford University

Although many of the top computer science schools featured in this list have claimed impressive scores in the citations per faculty and/or H-index indicators (both measures of research impact), none of them can overtake Stanford University, which achieved perfect scores for both.

Founded in 1965, Stanford’s Computer Science Department is unique for its location in Silicon Valley, as well as its impressive cohort of successful alumni, such as the founders or co-founders of Netflix, Google, YouTube, Instagram and WhatsApp.

1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

And finally, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) continues to be the world leader in this year’s computer science ranking (as well as claiming the overall number one spot in the QS World University Rankings® for seven years in a row).

Students at MIT’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science benefit from a vast range of programs and resources, including the Advanced Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (SuperUROP), the EECS Communication Lab, the 6-A MEng Thesis Program, and more. Like Stanford, its alumni includes the founders of household names such as Buzzfeed, DropBox, Intel, HuffPost and Hewlett-Packard.

Other top universities in the US for computer science

提到著名的金融区，你首先想到的可能是华尔街或者伦敦金融城，但是经济与商业研究中心（CEBR）在《标准晚报》上的一篇报告指出，由于英国脱欧的困境短期内不太可能结束，因此法国有望超过英国，成为欧洲第二大经济体。

金融中心的蓬勃发展也为法国带来了光明的未来，这意味着世界各地的学生都把法国当成了攻读金融硕士学位的理想目的地。在下文中我们将一一说明四个你们应当考虑去法国攻读金融硕士学位的原因。

法国的高等教育体系久负盛名

法国拥有世界上最著名的大学以及最出色的商学院，难怪它是世界上第四大最受欢迎的留学目的地。

法国商学院地位尤其之高，世界级项目课程也同样得到重视。根据QS世界大学排名中的2019年法国金融硕士排行榜，里昂商学院的金融硕士在法国排名第三。

在这个为期18月的全日制理科硕士项目中，学生们通过学习投资银行学、公司金融学、战略分析以及与投资者的金融沟通等专业，来了解如何在国际金融领域取得成功。

法国有着许多世界最受欢迎留学城市

出国留学在学术方面和文化方面都会打开许多大门。根据QS 2018年度最佳留学城市排名榜，排在全球前100位的城市中，法国占有四个，巴黎和里昂轻松位居前50名，图卢兹和蒙彼利埃则紧随其后。这些城市从羊角面包、香槟到完美无瑕的风景，再到成熟的城市建筑，无不洋溢着迷人的风情。

希望在首都的留学生可以在那里见识丰富的文化、悠久的历史和高雅的情趣。巴黎的著名地标如埃菲尔铁塔、卢浮宫和凯旋门组成的亮丽风景线就在眼前，使它成为世界上最受欢迎的城市之一。

如果说巴黎是爱情之都，里昂则是世界闻名、首屈一指的美食之城。地理位置得天独厚，靠近瑞士与意大利边境，濒临阿尔卑斯山的法国一侧，是全世界学生必去的景点。对学生来说也是一个更实惠的选择，在QS 2018年度最佳留学城市排行榜中，就费用而言，里昂排名21位。

如果你打算攻读里昂商学院金融硕士学位，就更好了。如上所言，你可以选择在里昂和巴黎两地分开学习（取决于你所学的专业），这样在学习和生活两方面都能获得最佳体验——你就不必纠结去哪个城市生活、哪个城市学习，进行这种两难的选择了。

谈到性价比问题，法国政府持续在为提高本国高等教育体系的质量方面进行慷慨投资，从而对来自世界各地的留学生来说，费用极具吸引力，这意味着法国国内和国际学生的学费完全相同。

法国的签证制度也非常便利。不过，具体规定取决于你的国籍，如果你来自欧盟或欧洲经济体（包括瑞士、挪威、冰岛和列支敦士登），那就无需申请学生签证，只有欧盟或欧洲经济区以外的学生在前往法国之前需要获得学生签证。

法国是充满了令人兴奋职业发展机会的就业中心

法国位于欧洲中心，因此也成为国际商业和金融的全球热区，同时有着良好的工作保障和较高的薪资预期。在2018年度QS最佳留学城市排行榜中，巴黎在毕业生就业前景方面位居第七。

你可以熟练掌握世界上最美丽的语言之一   

在这里学习，你不是必需精通法语，因为很多研究生课程都是用英语或法语授课的，比如里昂商学院的金融硕士课程。.

然而，当你浸入当地的文化和生活方式中时，你自然会掌握当地语言。更重要的是，熟悉法语可以改善你未来的职业前景，因为法语在商业和金融领域起着重要作用。

以丰富的学术经历和广阔的职业前景来说，管理硕士学位（MiM）真可谓是帮你成就理想及必要人生高度的黄金门票。对于那些寻求职业转变的人而言，管理硕士项目也是一次极具价值的尝试，也就是说你不一定要有商业、金融或经济背景才能攻读这个学位。

欧洲商学院在管理硕士课程教学方面处于领先地位，尤其法国的一些项目已经达到顶级水平。图卢兹商学院在“2019年QS商科硕士排名” 中一路攀升，目前排在世界第71位，法国第13位。

我们采访了两位来自图卢兹商学院的管理学硕士学生Charlotte Velarde和Aurelien Dexionne，了解下他们迄今为止的学术课程，同时如果你决定攻读这门管理硕士，你还会了解到自己能从管理学硕士课程那里收获哪些东西。

你能学到什么

管理硕士项目大致上教学目标包括确保学生发展全面的技能和管理、金融、营销和商业方面的广泛知识，为进入管理界做好准备。

图卢兹商学院的管理硕士(MiM)可以提供定制课程，取决于你第二学期选则哪个校区学习。例如，你可能想扩展下大数据和数字社会的知识面，那就要前往伦敦校区学习。如果你希望深入学习数字化转型和创意方面知识，那就要前往巴塞罗那校区。选择权在你自己！

有拿到双学位毕业的机会

从佐治亚州立大学到布拉德福德大学管理学院，图卢兹商学院是唯一的可以与合作大学共同提供双学位的法国商学院。双学位（有时也称为联合学位）受欢迎程度越来越高，意味着学生可以同时获得两个学位。

Charlotte是一名管理硕士项目学生，他的目标就是要获得双学位。她说：“通过参加在巴塞罗那学习的额外课程，我可以获得双学位——加泰罗尼亚理工大学（UPC）的理学硕士学位和TBS的管理学硕士学位。”

除了课内，你也可以在课外学习

将管理的理论应用于现实世界代表你可以真正了解到管理角色是如何发挥作用的。在图卢兹商学院，管理学硕士课程鼓励学生们通过参加“学习应用于企业管理战略研讨会”来测试他们的管理理论知识，期间他们能够与实际公司合作，为他们面临的真实问题提出解决方案。

Charlotte说：“我喜欢参加战略研讨会的挑战，通过这个活动，我们在第二学期开始时就为一家实体公司做了三周的咨询项目。”

学生们还面临公司提出的挑战，例如“为新一代员工调整工作环境”，以及“如何更好地开展外部线上线下交流”。

在课堂之外拓展学术视野的机会

在当今真正全球化的世界里，许多管理学硕士课程都为学生提供了机会，可通过在海外学习、工作的方式拓展自己的学术视野和职业社交技能。

图卢兹商学院有五个校区，Charlotte选择了在其中三处学习。她告诉我们：“我在图卢兹和巴塞罗那上过学，还在巴黎实习过两次，在佛罗伦萨和罗马度过了间隔年的那个学期。我现在对打包行李这件事很在行，可以更加流利地说四种语言（法语、英语、西班牙语和意大利语），我还见到过来自许多国家的奇人异事。这也有助于加强我的适应能力。”

“我接触过许多在巴塞罗那工作的管理人才，这扩大了我的人脉关系，我也和许多国际学生成为了朋友。”

不仅自己的语言表达能力和人际交往技能会提高，你还会将自己沉浸在一种新的文化中，你的全球眼界也将受益于此。图卢兹商学院的管理学硕士学位可以让你在专业实习环境中工作12个月，或者如果你愿意的话，还可以选择6个月的专业实习和6个月的海外学习。

作为学位课程的一部分，Aurelien在日本三菱公司实习了六个月。

他认为这是一种基础的锻炼：“从文化和专业的角度来看，我在日本的经历非常丰富。在商学院学习时，国际实习是必不可少的环节。你会发现新的工作实践，发展新的技能，如今，公司都在寻找国际和多元文化背景的人才，那些对新观点持开放态度的人。”

你将获得学位（和经验）征服竞争激烈的就业市场

管理领域的职业道路具有多样性，图卢兹商学院的管理学硕士学位就反映了这一点。所以说管理硕士学位不仅可以帮助你发展和提高自己的技术管理能力，还会给你带来一份“软技能”证书，证明你的管理和人际沟通技能。

Charlotte非常自信地认为管理硕士学位为她奠定了坚实的基础，可以帮助毕业后发展未来的职业生涯。她说：“我希望找到一份自己喜欢的工作，因为我已经建立了（并且仍在建立）一定的实习背景和社交网络，所以知道自己不必太过担心未来的就业问题。图卢兹商学院让我懂得：如果有动力，那我们就可以或多或少地做任何我们想做的事情，没有典型的职业道路，我有能力不断地更换工作，甚至建立自己的初创公司！”
