專業(yè)：經(jīng)濟學(xué)

Offer: 劍橋大學(xué)，規(guī)劃、發(fā)展與再生專業(yè)

BSc (Hons) Economics 

Offer: University of Cambridge, MPhil in Planning Growth and Regeneration

得知被錄取的時候我感到很釋然，因為在大一我就選擇了劍橋大學(xué)作為我的目標并一直為之努力。

在我看來，寧諾的多元化與國際平臺為我在申請國外研究生的時候“加分”不少，校園里豐富的硬件設(shè)施也為學(xué)生的努力創(chuàng)造了良好的基礎(chǔ)。與此同時，寧諾也培養(yǎng)了我獨自自主的能力，使我養(yǎng)成了對自己負責(zé)任的態(tài)度，從而不斷向著自己的目標追求。

當然，一切的申請都是以成績?yōu)榛A(chǔ)的，所以一定要努力學(xué)習(xí)，提高自己的均分。

I felt relieved when I received the offer because I chose Cambridge as my ambitious goal when I was in year one. 

As far as I am concerned, the international and diverse platform UNNC has provided us will certainly make us more competitive when applying for prestigious master’s programmes. And its excellent facilities like the new library have created a good foundation for students’ efforts. In addition, UNNC’s emphasis on self-study has stimulated my initiative and has developed the responsibility for myself, which encouraged me to constantly work for my goal. 

Of course, every application will be based on your academic results so it is essential to study hard and improve your grades. 

收到這份offer時，最大的感受是感恩。很感激經(jīng)濟系提供的研究助理機會，能讓我們在學(xué)習(xí)課堂理論知識之外鍛煉自己的實踐能力（比如，熟練運用軟件的能力），和老師的交流也極大拓展了我的知識面。

同時，我也覺得很幸運能夠參加到學(xué)校提供的眾多全球交換機會中去，增長了見識，是段有趣的、而且對我未來規(guī)劃影響很大的經(jīng)歷。

I felt extremely grateful, and then excited and surprised when I received this offer. 

I’m very grateful for the research assistant opportunities that the School of Economics offers, which has built up my practical skills and the ability of programming outside of class. Besides, discussions with the teachers have greatly broadened my mind. Also, I feel lucky that UNNC provides many chances to exchange abroad. During my exchange, I got the chance to have a taste of the teaching styles in another university.

It was a really intriguing experience for me and greatly influenced my plan for my future.

專業(yè)：經(jīng)濟學(xué)

Offer: 劍橋大學(xué)，

經(jīng)濟學(xué)專業(yè)

BSc (Hons) Economics 

Offer: University of Cambridge, MPhil in Economics

我覺得自己非常幸運可以就讀寧波諾丁漢大學(xué)，在這里，我不僅認識了很多優(yōu)秀的同學(xué)和朋友，開放包容的環(huán)境也讓我更愿意獨立思考，做自己想做的事情。我覺得寧諾和經(jīng)濟專業(yè)帶給我了最可貴的三件寶物：英語能力、邏輯思維和克服一切困難的勇氣。

從大一開始，我經(jīng)常在周末和外教、國際生朋友們參加學(xué)校體育部組織的活動。通過這些活動，我認識了很多國際生朋友和外國老師，和他們的互動和交流也讓我在玩樂中練習(xí)了英語。我認為，經(jīng)濟學(xué)是一門邏輯的藝術(shù)，而在學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)濟學(xué)的同時也讓我的邏輯思維能力得到了鍛煉和升級。在這種能力的加持下，我的學(xué)業(yè)和工作都變得更加有條理，這也讓我的研究生申請受益匪淺。經(jīng)濟系的課程是“硬核”的，學(xué)習(xí)也是充滿挑戰(zhàn)的。

在這樣的環(huán)境下，我和我身邊的同學(xué)更愿意選擇報團取暖，通過建立學(xué)習(xí)討論小組等方式交流學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)驗，相互之間討論難題，互相激勵共同面對挑戰(zhàn)。而我也在這樣的氛圍下修煉出了不懼任何困難的勇氣?，F(xiàn)在回頭來看，當初學(xué)習(xí)有多辛苦，現(xiàn)在拿到的offer就有多值得！

I think I am very lucky to study at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. In this campus, I not only met many excellent classmates and friends, but also became more willing to think independently and do what I want to do. UNNC and the School of Economics have offered me three most valuable treasures: English ability,logical thinking and courage to overcome all difficulties. 

Since year one, I frequently participated in sports with international students and staff. The interaction and communication with them have allowed me to practise my English while having fun. I think economics is the art of logic and my logical thinking ability has been exercised and upgraded by studying this programme. With the blessing of this ability, my studies and work have become more organised. In addition to this, my graduate application also benefited from this. Last but not least, economics is difficult and challenging. My classmates and I are more willing to choose to study together and motivate each other to face challenges. And I also cultivated the courage not to be afraid of any difficulties in such an atmosphere. 

Looking back now, it was so hard to study at the beginning, but it’s all been worthwhile to get the offer I have now.

剛收到offer的時候我是驚訝且開心的，因為這個項目錄取的人很少，這個offer也算是對自己三年努力的認可。

無論是師資還是第二課堂實踐，寧諾都為我的申請?zhí)峁┝撕艽蟮膸椭?。?jīng)濟系的老師富有耐心，也非常愿意跟同學(xué)們交流，為我們提供研究助理的機會，讓我初步體驗到了經(jīng)濟研究究竟是什么。經(jīng)常在學(xué)校里召開的學(xué)術(shù)會議也為我提供了寶貴的機會去了解經(jīng)濟學(xué)的各個領(lǐng)域，尋找自己感興趣的方向。

與此同時，經(jīng)濟系的老師們非常提倡獨立思考和批判性思維。比如Paolo Epifani教授, 我很喜歡他上課的方式，能夠把一個點進行深挖，將數(shù)學(xué)與經(jīng)濟理論相結(jié)合，且鼓勵大家不要一味地相信書本上的東西。這一切都為我的申請奠定了堅實的基礎(chǔ)。

*注：截稿前，姚懿航同學(xué)的申請為PAO狀態(tài)，即已通過劍橋經(jīng)濟學(xué)院認可，目前等待劍橋招生辦發(fā)放正式offer中。

After receiving the offer, I was really surprised as it is quite difficult to getting admitted to the programme due to its small size. But I think this offer can be a form of recognition of my previous efforts. 

In my opinion, UNNC has well equipped me for my postgraduate study. Our tutors in the School of Economics are quite patient and willing to communicate with students as well as offering research assistant opportunities. Academic conferences held at UNNC have helped me to learn about different areas in economics and find the area I am interested in. 

Besides, the School of Economics really encourages independent and critical thinking. For instance, I really like the teaching style of Prof. Paolo Epifani, who told us that we should never believe the textbook blindly.

吳文博

專業(yè)：國際學(xué)

Offer: 劍橋大學(xué)，

政治學(xué)與國際研究專業(yè)

BA (Hons) International Studies

Offer: University of Cambridge, MPhil in Politics and International Studies

我覺得這次拿到劍橋的offer和學(xué)校的教育，包括課程、老師、學(xué)習(xí)氛圍和資源等等是離不開的。國際事務(wù)與國際關(guān)系（IS）歷史學(xué)、國際關(guān)系學(xué)、政治學(xué)和社會學(xué)融合的多元化課程幫助我確立了對英國學(xué)派和建構(gòu)主義國際關(guān)系理論的興趣。在我學(xué)習(xí)的過程中，特別是在申請時準備研究計劃的時候，我的幾位導(dǎo)師們都給我提出了非常寶貴的意見，在我的申請里加入了一些我原本沒有想到過的視角和內(nèi)容。回想起來，其實IS的每一位老師都是“寶藏老師”，他們不僅自己的研究非常有趣，還非常樂于和學(xué)生分享，特別是會針對學(xué)生的興趣給他們推薦文獻和理論。

此外，我在大學(xué)期間都是寧諾模擬聯(lián)合國協(xié)會的成員，在大二時擔任了秘書長，四年來參與了許多各大高校舉辦的模聯(lián)活動，這對我的影響也非常大。因為正是高中階段參加過的模聯(lián)活動促使我在大學(xué)選擇國際事務(wù)與國際關(guān)系專業(yè)，也正是在模聯(lián)活動中我發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多同學(xué)對規(guī)范、話語、觀念等國際關(guān)系中的社會元素的忽視，也由此開始探索這些社會元素在國際組織的運行和全球治理的開展過程中的作用。

I am very grateful for the curriculum, tutors, learning environment and resources of the School of International Studies and UNNC, which have helped me establish interests in the English School and Neo-liberal Institutionalism. 

During both my study and application process, several of my tutors gave me very valuable opinions and added some perspectives and contents I had never thought of before for my application. I think every tutor in the School of International Studies is kind and lovely. They are always very happy to share thoughts with students. They especially like to recommend literature and theories to students according to our interests. 

Besides, my interests in the Model United Nations since high school has also influenced me a lot. It was in the Model United Nations activities that I found that many people ignored the social elements in international relations such as norms, discourse and ideas, and thus I began to explore the role of these social elements in the operation of international organisations and the development of global governance.

四年的學(xué)習(xí)通過教給我們一系列社哲理論，幫助我們建構(gòu)自己的思維體系，因而能夠跳出立場和視角的限制、剝開事情的表象，嘗試看清事件表面之下真正的邏輯。這種能力在我參與一系列國際活動和項目設(shè)計的時候起到了至關(guān)重要的作用。

教授們相當負責(zé)也很有趣，為我們的學(xué)術(shù)和人生道路提供了極寶貴的引導(dǎo)，于我們是非常平等的良師益友。

我們專業(yè)同學(xué)都很學(xué)術(shù)，而且可能因為要沉下心讀大量文獻，很少會有浮躁的情緒，也不太受外界影響。這種氛圍和劍橋的研究性風(fēng)格也非常適配，使我們提前適應(yīng)將來的研究生涯。

（畢業(yè)高中：江蘇省邳州市運河中學(xué)）

By delivering a range of political, social and philosophical theories, International Studies (IS) helps us to construct our own systems of thinking, so that we are able to transcend appearances and identify the logic beneath the surface of events regardless of the limits of our identity and perspectives. This has been crucial when I was involved in a number of international events and projects design. 

Tutors of IS are very responsible and interesting as well who have equal relationships with us students, providing valuable guidance on our academic and life decisions.

My peers at IS are quite academic and work hard because we are given a lot of reading to do. This atmosphere is also very compatible with the research-based style of Cambridge and has helped us to adapt to our future research careers in advance.

專業(yè)：國際學(xué)

Offer：劍橋大學(xué)，

政治學(xué)與國際研究專業(yè)

BA (Hons) International Studies 

Offer: University of Cambridge, MPhil in Politics and International Studies

這個項目是目前最符合我的研究興趣和研究方向的，讓我有一種夢想成真的感覺。我不但感到自己的學(xué)術(shù)能力得到了認可，也感覺自己離進入夢想的學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域又近了一些。我認為在寧諾國際事務(wù)與國際關(guān)系學(xué)系（IS）接受本科教育是一件很幸運的事情，它的課程涉及了人文社科領(lǐng)域的很多不同方面，也給了我們更多選擇的自由度。

IS的學(xué)術(shù)資源也非常強，教授們來自頂尖大學(xué)，也是對相關(guān)領(lǐng)域的學(xué)界貢獻很大、頗有建樹、治學(xué)嚴謹?shù)膶W(xué)者，與他們交談總能學(xué)到很多讀書、做人的道理。IS對我來說，更像是在不斷傳達一種思維方式——敢于追問、敢于創(chuàng)新、敢于挑戰(zhàn)權(quán)威。因此很感謝本科時光能夠在IS度過，也特別感激IS在過去的幾年中不斷引導(dǎo)我向不同的角度思考問題、培養(yǎng)了我的勇氣和思辨能力。擁有這些敢于打破、樂于創(chuàng)新的思維方式，外加在各類作業(yè)、學(xué)術(shù)訓(xùn)練中獲得的可轉(zhuǎn)移技能，我相信對未來的人生發(fā)展一定會受益無窮。

This MPhil programme is the most relevant to my research interest, I feel like my dream has come true. I think I am more than lucky to receive education at the School of International Studies (IS), UNNC. It requires students to read more, rather than to take more classes. The assigned readings cover a wide range of topics, as well as our course design, including international relations, politics, history, anthropology, philosophy, sociology and even economics. We also have many choices on optional courses and exchange programmes.

The School of International Studies is also known for its academic resource and research environment. The tutors are from prestigious universities and have contributed a lot to their fields of study in academia. Communicating with them has been one of the happiest times during my UG studies, as I can always acquire new knowledge and learn from their life philosophy. For me, IS is not merely a ‘subject’, but a way of thinking. It tells us to be brave and encourage us to inquire on the unknown, see the unseen and reveal the things behind the surface. Therefore, I am so grateful that IS has guided me to always think outside of the box. After four years of education in IS, I believe people will continuously benefit from the ‘IS way of thinking’ and the transferable skills gained here.
