[ 学校简介 ]
Simon Fraser University (SFU) 西蒙弗雷泽大学是以加拿大一位十九世纪探险家Simon Fraser的名字命名,创建于1965年9月,是加拿大享有盛名的大学之一,在教学质量、未来领导者、综合实力以及最具创新方面,被加拿大权威时事杂志Maclean’s Magazine评为全加综合类大学第二,有“加拿大最有价值的综合性大学”的美誉。
西蒙弗雷泽大学位于加拿大大不列颠哥伦比亚省伯纳比市,伯纳比市是加拿大西海岸最大的商业、工业和金融中心。西蒙弗雷泽大学现有3个校区,它们分别是Burnaby,Vancouver和Surrey校区。主校区在Burnaby,大学主要的学院和行政部门都设在这里,Vancouver和Surrey校区,主要是半日制(Part Time)和夜校课程。Burnaby校区的面积为174万平方米,拥有建筑物260,000立方米,海拔400米。Vancouver校区拥有建筑物19,509立方米,该校区开放于1989年,每学期约有1,800名本科生及400名研究生就读于Vancouver校区。Surrey校区在2006年秋季正式投入使用,在此之前Surrey校区的教学都在临时的教学楼进行。现在Surrey校区拥有本科生1,100名,研究生100名。该校区现提供arts and social sciences,interactive arts and technology,computing science,science and business administration方面的本科课程及interactive arts and technology方面的研究生课程,还提供一些继续教育课程等。
SFU是加拿大的一所中等规模的文理科综合性大学,现有在校师生27,429名,其中师资人数759名,本科学生人数23,480名,研究生3,190名,国外留学生人数861名,所占比例为5%。作为一所综合性大学,西蒙弗雷泽设置的专业较全面,涉及艺术、科学、应用科学、商业与教育,课程也较灵活。学期有春、夏、秋三季,学生可任意选择申请入学。同时,函授教育与夜校课程使得许多人可以兼顾学习与工作。该校的合作教育也搞得有声有色,学生在毕业之前就已在将来可能从事的岗位上实习。
[ 学术介绍 ]
西蒙弗雷泽大学的课程采用教学和导修互相配合,大部分科目每周会安排两堂教学和一堂导修,让学生之间有更多的讨论机会。
另外,大学实行三学期制的实习课程(Co-op Program),分九月、一月和五月三个学期,除第一学年外,其余三学年是上课与实习相间,即学生在大学上一学期课后,便到与课程有关的机关实习一学期,再回大学上课,如此类推。这类课程的好处是学生有把课堂的理论用于实践的机会,增加工作经验,以及赚取生活费;坏处则较其他大学的学生迟一二年才毕业。所以,学生宜先把各自的好处、坏处和自己的兴趣、经济能力一并考虑清楚,才报读这类Co-op课程。它注重教学的实用性,课堂教学与课外实践紧密结合,帮助学生在专业相关领域参加带薪实习以扩大知识面,为将来适应社会做好准备。
