如果要給理工學(xué)院建筑系學(xué)生吳辰的本科四年打上一個(gè)標(biāo)簽，時(shí)下流行的“跨界”一詞，無疑最能形象地描繪他在寧諾的成長軌跡。“寧諾精神賦予了我打破常規(guī)的勇氣，讓我意識到生命的高度從來不會、也不應(yīng)該被設(shè)限，更讓我對‘卓越’一詞有了新的認(rèn)知?！?/strong>吳辰深有感觸地說。

吳辰

建筑學(xué)專業(yè)

在寧諾這片充滿多元化和無限可能的土壤里，吳辰在玩轉(zhuǎn)“跨界”學(xué)科的過程中找到了內(nèi)心的向往，面對數(shù)份全球頂級學(xué)府的碩士錄取通知書，他懷著一顆“把跨界進(jìn)行到底”的決心，最終選擇了美國康奈爾大學(xué)的區(qū)域規(guī)劃offer——一個(gè)橫跨市政工程學(xué)、政府管理政策、環(huán)境保護(hù)等多個(gè)領(lǐng)域的研究生項(xiàng)目。在他看來，正是寧諾豐富的跨學(xué)科成功經(jīng)歷為自己叩開了常青藤名校的大門。

少數(shù)派——

走進(jìn)商科課堂的建筑系學(xué)生

吳辰高中畢業(yè)于山東省實(shí)驗(yàn)中學(xué)，受父母職業(yè)影響的他選擇了建筑學(xué)專業(yè)?！敖ㄖ煹陌l(fā)展其實(shí)是一條規(guī)劃好的軌道?！?吳辰說，“比如在校期間要去學(xué)特定的課程，進(jìn)入建筑事務(wù)所或設(shè)計(jì)院做實(shí)習(xí)，最后完成特定的考試、獲取特定的證書。一切都有跡可循。”

誠然，寧諾建筑學(xué)專業(yè)獲英國皇家建筑師學(xué)會（簡稱RIBA）認(rèn)證，這意味著建筑學(xué)本科生在畢業(yè)時(shí)就已完成了英國皇家建筑師認(rèn)證的第一階段，同時(shí)也意味著該專業(yè)的課程體系需要嚴(yán)格遵循RIBA的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。“即便在這樣嚴(yán)格的條件下，寧諾仍給予了我自由發(fā)展的空間。于是，我在專業(yè)課之余選修了商學(xué)院的課程?！?他回憶道。

就這樣，建筑系學(xué)生吳辰走進(jìn)了商學(xué)院的課堂。在《管理與戰(zhàn)略》課程學(xué)習(xí)中，他結(jié)合自己的專業(yè)，學(xué)到了許多市場策略和企業(yè)管理的知識?！斑@門課給我?guī)砹嗽S多獨(dú)特的視角。其中，我最大的收獲是學(xué)會了在項(xiàng)目中不要只扮演一個(gè)利益相關(guān)者的思維模式。” 他解釋說：“例如在商業(yè)建筑項(xiàng)目中，地產(chǎn)的利益相關(guān)者最看重投資與回報(bào)。但如果拔高維度，這時(shí)的利益相關(guān)者就變成了城市管理者，重點(diǎn)也相應(yīng)地變成了社會的可持續(xù)性穩(wěn)定和區(qū)域發(fā)展?！边@為他建筑學(xué)專業(yè)的學(xué)習(xí)和探索帶來了啟發(fā)。

玩轉(zhuǎn)“跨界”學(xué)科

照亮未來之路

選修商學(xué)院的課程并不是一個(gè)偶然的決定。事實(shí)上，這更像是吳辰在跨學(xué)科學(xué)習(xí)中不斷探索的必經(jīng)之路。得益于系里豐富的學(xué)術(shù)資源和科研機(jī)會，他以助理研究員的身份先后跟隨多名教授和導(dǎo)師開展了城市可持續(xù)發(fā)展、住宅區(qū)設(shè)計(jì)規(guī)劃、城市間關(guān)系研究等不同方向的科研項(xiàng)目，對不同細(xì)分領(lǐng)域的前沿發(fā)展進(jìn)行了深入的探索。此外，他還充分利用假期開展實(shí)習(xí)，清華大學(xué)建筑設(shè)計(jì)研究、查普門泰勒設(shè)計(jì)咨詢公司都曾留下過他的身影。

“我在跨學(xué)科學(xué)習(xí)的過程中萌生了新的想法，希望在自己專業(yè)的前提下做一些額外的嘗試。在鎖定了城市規(guī)劃這個(gè)方向后，我便順理成章地選擇了與之相關(guān)的商學(xué)院課程?！眳浅秸J(rèn)為，學(xué)校靈活的選修課程體系、豐富的科研項(xiàng)目和眾多的社會實(shí)踐機(jī)會在潛移默化中形成了一套系統(tǒng)且專業(yè)的跨學(xué)科教學(xué)模式，幫助自己在探索中明確了未來發(fā)展的方向。

同時(shí)，跨學(xué)科的經(jīng)歷和多彩的校園生活還給吳辰帶來了自信。他說：“我在和商學(xué)院同學(xué)參與商賽時(shí)，提出的見解和想法經(jīng)常能受到大家的認(rèn)可。此外，從參加辯論社到最終與團(tuán)隊(duì)共同贏得寧波市高校辯論冠軍，以及作為理工學(xué)生收獲新加坡國立大學(xué)商學(xué)院地產(chǎn)項(xiàng)目的offer等一系列經(jīng)歷，更讓我明白了只要秉持著敢想敢做的寧諾精神，生命的高度就不會被設(shè)限?！?/p>

03

“卓越”與“人”的思考

曾經(jīng)，吳辰把“超預(yù)期地完成工作”作為卓越的定義。而在寧諾的四年則讓他體會到了獨(dú)有的人文關(guān)懷氣息，從而開始以“人”的維度重新思考卓越。

吳辰認(rèn)為，一所學(xué)校無論是否做人文關(guān)懷、或者做到什么程度，對其本職教學(xué)任務(wù)和科研產(chǎn)出的影響其實(shí)是很難量化的。“但是，寧諾仍不遺余力地投入到人文關(guān)懷的工作中，而這不僅僅只停留在對學(xué)生無微不至的支持和關(guān)懷?！彼f，“我曾在寧諾戰(zhàn)略規(guī)劃部門的實(shí)習(xí)中參與了面向社會招募?xì)埣矄T工的項(xiàng)目。對學(xué)校而言，無論是他們的身體狀況，還是樓梯、扶手等基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，都需要進(jìn)行大量的投入。寧諾對于特殊人群的關(guān)懷和對社會的貢獻(xiàn)讓我感受到了濃厚的人文氣息?！?/p>

在吳辰有條不紊的敘述中，不難發(fā)現(xiàn)這些經(jīng)歷給他帶來了許多收獲和成長，“這讓我意識到在團(tuán)隊(duì)合作中同樣不能忽視人文關(guān)懷，特別當(dāng)我的身份是項(xiàng)目領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者時(shí)，我需要時(shí)刻關(guān)注每一位組員的情緒和狀態(tài)。而當(dāng)團(tuán)隊(duì)中有來自其它國家和地區(qū)的成員時(shí)，我還需要確保少數(shù)人的聲音也能被聽到，并讓所有人掌握的信息都是相同、平等的?！?/p>

懷著一顆感恩的心，吳辰希望自己的經(jīng)歷能給更多人帶來啟發(fā)和靈感。他說：“我在寧諾深刻意識到了跨學(xué)科思維對學(xué)術(shù)研究和探索的重要性。只要勇于不斷挑戰(zhàn)自己的探索邊界和思維模式，就能在多學(xué)科的碰撞中發(fā)現(xiàn)自己內(nèi)心的熱愛。”

UNNC student heading to Ivy League School through interdisciplinary study

Having received multiple master’s offer letters from top universities around the world, Chen Wu, an Architecture student of the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC), ultimately chose a regional planning programme from Cornell University in the United States - a postgraduate programme that spans multiple fields including municipal engineering, government management policies, and environmental protection. In his view, it was his rich interdisciplinary experience at UNNC that helped him successfully open the doors to an Ivy League School.

Chen graduated from Shandong Experimental High School and his parents' professions influenced him to choose to study architecture. "The career development of an architect is actually a well-planned track," he said.

The undergraduate programme architecture at UNNC is accredited by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), which means that undergraduate architecture students would have completed the first phase of the RIBA certification upon graduation. It also means that the curriculum of this major must strictly adhere to RIBA standards. "Even so, UNNC still gave me the space to learn freely. In addition to my major courses, I also took courses from the business school," he recalled. While undergoing the Management and Strategy course, he combined the knowledge he gained from his major and learnt much about market strategies and business management. "This course brought me many unique perspectives. My greatest gain was learning not to think solely as a stakeholder in a project."

Chen believes that the university's flexible module selection system, rich research projects, and abundant social practice opportunities have subliminally formed a systematic and professional interdisciplinary teaching model, helping him explore and clarify the direction of his future development.

At the same time, his interdisciplinary experience and colorful campus life also gave Chen much confidence. "When participating in business competitions with students from the business school, my insights and ideas were often acknowledged by everyone. Furthermore, my series of experiences in participating in the debate club, ultimately winning the championship of the Ningbo Collegiate Debate Contest with my team, and receiving an offer for a real estate project from the National University of Singapore Business School as an engineering student helped me understand that as long as you think big and just do it as UNNC advocates, there are no limits to the heights you can scale."

Once, Chen regarded "completing work beyond expectations" as the definition of excellence. However, the unique humanistic care that UNNC offered during his four years there prompted him to rethink excellence from the "human" dimension.

"UNNC spares no effort in investing in humanistic care, which does not stop at providing students with meticulous support and care," he said. "I once participated in a project to recruit employees with a disability during my internship in the strategic planning department at UNNC. Its concern for special groups and contributions to society made me feel a strong sense of humanistic culture."

Chen has gained much and grown much from these experiences. "It made me realise that humanistic care can't be ignored in teamwork as well, especially when I am the team leader. I need to always pay attention to the emotions and well-being of each member. When there are members from other countries and regions in the team, I also need to ensure that the voices of the minority are heard, and that everyone has the same and equal information."

Chen is grateful for his experiences at UNNC and hopes that he can inspire more people. He said, "At UNNC, I deeply recognised the importance of interdisciplinary thinking. As long as you courageously break through boundaries and thinking modes in your exploration, you can discover your inner passion amidst the collision of multiple disciplines."
