面對今年多變的國際形勢
有人開始猶豫是否還要出國留學
教育部最近頻發政策積極推進留學問題
因為我們無法否定留學本身的價值：
接觸前沿的知識、管理、技術的接觸和體驗
留學路上更多同學選擇多國混申
如果你還在糾結國家和專業
可以看下今天的加拿大視覺藝術專業推薦院校
一說到留學，可能同學們更偏重於英美國家，但其實加拿大留學也是一個不錯的選擇。地理位置優越、安全性更高、生活質量好、花費比美國少、院校資源豐富、在就業和移民方面也更有優勢。
視覺藝術專業是加拿大的強勢專業之一，視覺藝術是通過「視覺」作為交流和呈現現的一種方法，通過文字、透過多種方式來製作和聚集符號文字以及圖片，製作出來傳遞思想或者是信息的視覺表現方式，其以特殊的藝術魅力影響著人們日常生活。
一般情況下視覺藝術科系包括平面設計、插畫設計、互動設計、遊戲設計、動畫設計、攝影、電影、純藝術。
