从象牙塔里出来的大学生,往往在复杂的社会问题面前一筹莫展。为了更好地适应现代社会的需求,英国将开办一所新型跨学科大学,所设置的全部课程都将以解决现实问题为目标,比如儿童肥胖、持刀犯罪、塑料污染等。
Getting a university degree has never seemed more important: college graduates earn more money, live longer, and are happier. But college degrees are expensive (especially in the US), narrowly focused (especially in the UK), and often fail to build the skills employers want (true in most countries).
大学学位似乎从来不曾像现在这样重要:大学毕业生收入更高、寿命更长,也更幸福。但是大学学位很烧钱(尤其在美国),教学范围太狭窄(尤其在英国),经常不能培养出雇主想要的技能(在多数国家都是如此)。
A new university in the UK wants to change that.
英国的一所新大学想要改变这一现状。
The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), which will launch in 2021 with a target of 100 students, will scrap traditional academic subjects and offer a three-year bachelor of arts and sciences degree designed to tackle real-world issues. The curriculum is built around interdisciplinary problems—knife crime, childhood obesity, palm oil in supply chains, plastic pollution—as well as quantitative and qualitative research skills. Employers like the Met Police, Innocent, and Virgin will provide project ideas and offer five-week work experience for students.
