1, Australian colleges belong to vocational education. There are vocational courses in Australia. After completing this training course (usually two years), you will get a TAFE diploma recognized by the Australian government (similar to the junior college diploma in China). This diploma can be linked with the professional undergraduate courses of some Australian comprehensive universities and get some credit relief.
2. Undergraduate degree is the basic part of higher education. Australia's general undergraduate education system is three years, and you can get a degree certificate after graduation.
3. Preparatory course is the basic course or bridge course of the university, which belongs to the preparatory education before the university. Generally, overseas senior high school graduates are required to study in the preparatory course for about 65,438+0 years in order to adapt to foreign learning methods. Foreign universities generally have preparatory courses or designated colleges to teach preparatory courses. After completing the preparatory course of 1 year, international students can decide whether they can enter the initially chosen institution or transfer to other better universities according to their grades.
Accommodation is an important issue for a person to study in Australia! Many international students and parents are worried about this. Choosing a good living environment has a great influence on their future study and making friends. So what are the main accommodation methods in Australia? What's the cost of each?
1. Host family
There are many advantages to living with local families. Someone can help cook and practice oral English. However, students who choose this kind of accommodation should respect the landlord's habits, ask clearly before acting, and try not to go home late. Diet should also adapt to the living habits of host families.
Cost: 250-230 Australian dollars per week.
Advantages: it is very conducive to integrating into Australian life and enjoying public home facilities.
2. Student accommodation
Very different from China, there are few dormitory resources in Australian universities, so it is difficult to apply and the management is not very strict. Generally, they are independent bedrooms, sharing public facilities, which are close to schools or shopping centers, so the price is more expensive.
Cost: AUD 285-4 10 per week.
Advantages: There are many different people and good learning facilities. Even if you don't like cooking, you can enjoy the function of being "fed". It is good news for foodies who can't cook.
3. Shared rent (lease)
Sharing a house with classmates or friends has less burden and greater freedom. If you rent a house from an intermediary, you must pay attention to the appointment, don't break the contract, find the shared tenants to know each other and try to be close friends. If you need to buy furniture for an empty house, you can look at weekend newspapers and school advertising columns. Many places sell second-hand furniture every weekend. Accommodation is basically calculated on a weekly basis, and a deposit of 2-4 weeks is required. Generally, the money is paid first and then checked in. Remember to ask for the receipt and contract, and learn the details carefully.
Cost: weekly 100-400 Australian dollars.
Advantages: you can meet new people, decorate your living space freely, and the price is relatively cheap.
