How to choose a suitable master's degree is undoubtedly the top priority of studying in Australia. What kind of Australian master program major to choose will directly affect students' immigration opportunities and employment opportunities in Australia. Summarize the following six criteria to guide you how to choose the right major to apply for the Australian master's program. (1) Admission Feasibility "Apply for graduate students in Australia-can you be admitted to a certain major?" . In terms of categories, Australia's master's degree programs can be divided into 6 categories and 30 sub-categories. The six categories are arts, business, law, science, engineering and medicine. Whether an applicant can be admitted to a certain professional category depends mainly on the professional background of the undergraduate course. For example, applying for a master of arts (such as translation and media) has no special requirements for the applicant's undergraduate professional background; To apply for a master's degree in business, the 1.5-2 program has no special requirements for the applicant's undergraduate professional background, but the 1 year master's program generally requires the applicant to have a business background and may also require some work experience; To apply for master's courses in science and engineering or medicine, applicants must have the same or similar undergraduate professional background, and individual courses have no requirements for undergraduate professional background (such as some two-year master's courses in computer science). (B) their own advantages "Can I learn my major well?" . The successful completion of the Australian master's study abroad program requires applicants to have strong knowledge and skills, including professional ability, English (forum) ability, mathematics ability and so on. If English ability is strong, but math ability is weak, liberal arts or law major can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses; If English ability and math ability are average or good, it will be more appropriate to study business major; If you have average English ability and strong math ability, you will have an advantage in studying computer or engineering. If students can give full play to their comparative advantages in master's degree, they are likely to get better grades, and a student with excellent grades will also have a comparative advantage when looking for a job after graduation. (3) Australian immigration opportunities "Can I immigrate after finishing my major in Australia?" . The way to apply for immigration to Australia through studying abroad is called "skilled immigration for Australian students". 20 10 in may, the Australian immigration bureau published a new list of skilled occupations, which came into effect in July of 20 10. The new list of skilled occupations (ordinary skilled immigrants) * * * has 183 occupations. Common immigrant liberal arts majors include preschool education, middle school teachers and social work. Immigrant business majors include accounting, auditing and actuarial science. Immigration majors include agronomy and chemistry; Immigration survey majors include quantity measurement, surveying and mapping, etc. Immigration engineering majors include chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, material engineering, mechanical engineering, mining engineering and so on. Immigration computer major includes program analysis, program development and system analysis. Immigrant architecture majors include architecture, landscape architecture and town planning; Immigration medicine majors include dentistry, nursing, occupational physiotherapy, general practitioners and veterinarians. (4) Occupation interest "Are you interested in the occupation corresponding to or related to a certain major?" . For example, studying for a master's degree in accounting in Australia, the corresponding occupation is accountant or auditor, and the related occupations include investment analyst and tax consultant. If students can study their favorite major and engage in their favorite career, they will be more likely to get professional satisfaction and sense of accomplishment. There are many factors that affect career interests, such as personal character, family background, academic background and so on.

(V) Career prospects "Is it easy to find a job after graduation from a major, and is the salary high?" . From the perspective of job opportunities, for China students studying in Australia, if they want to work in Australia, technology-intensive occupations (such as accounting, engineers, computer professionals) provide more job opportunities; Management-intensive or communication-intensive occupations often set a high threshold in terms of cultural background and English communication ability, which makes it difficult for China students to compete with local students or other international students. Judging from the starting salary of graduates, the starting salary of engineering and computer majors is higher, while the starting salary of business and liberal arts graduates is relatively low. (VI) Industry Prospects "Is there a development prospect for the industry to which a certain major belongs?" . From the perspective of ownership, some Australian master's programs have no clear industry ownership, such as accounting and computer. After graduation, students majoring in accounting can work in an accounting firm, or in any industry or enterprise. Therefore, it is difficult for a certain industry to directly affect the employment opportunities of students majoring in this type. Some master's courses have a clear industry affiliation, such as hotel management, finance, etc., and the prosperity index of the industry will directly affect the employment opportunities of students majoring in this major.
