Matters needing attention
Australian schools will arrange a week or so for students to register, register and attend classes in the new semester before the start of school. Usually this week is called "Welcome Week", and the school will arrange special teaching staff to lead freshmen to familiarize themselves with the campus.
The week before the start of each semester is the orientation week for freshmen. The orientation week for freshmen has the following contents: 1. School visits, 2. Registration, 3. Register online.
Study abroad expenses
First, the preliminary preparation
The first is language training and exam registration. Although everyone has the basic knowledge of English learning, they still need to be familiar with the questions and contents before they can accept the standardized assessment. The training fee is about 5,000 yuan, and the registration fee is about 2,000 yuan.
To submit an application to the school, you need to sort out the materials, one of which is notarized academic materials, and the other needs to be around 500 yuan; To submit an application to the school, you need to pay the application fee. A school needs 500-700 yuan, and some schools don't charge.
Secondly, everyone prepares materials, of which the physical examination needs about 1.500 yuan, which will include basic vaccination, purchasing basic occupational safety and health insurance, about 2,000 yuan a year, and the official delivery fee is about 2,500 yuan.
If you entrust the application and visa to a special agency, you need to pay the agency fee, which is generally 1-20000 yuan. According to the different services you get, the probability of successful application through the agent will be greater.
Second, study abroad in the later period
1. Tuition
The tuition fees for attending prestigious schools, especially the Eighth National Congress, are set higher than those for ordinary colleges and universities. Due to the professional influence, I have to prepare15-18,000 yuan a month, and pay a sum of miscellaneous fees to pay for all kinds of services I enjoy during my study, which is about1000-2,000 yuan a year.
Generally, colleges and universities, especially those in non-popular cities, charge high fees, and everyone's professional study is basically between 90- 1.5 million yuan a year, among which business and medical studies will be relatively expensive and miscellaneous fees will be cheaper.
2. Living expenses
The main living expenses are food, housing, transportation, shopping, socializing and insurance, which are basically fixed every month. Plus the annual round-trip air ticket, the annual expenses are also fixed, and the budget is relatively easy to do.
However, there will be differences between cities. Sydney is 800-1.2000 a year, Moby Bay is 800-110000 a year, Canberra is 800-110000 a year, Brisbane is 70,000-90,000 a year, Adelaide is 60,000-80,000 a year, Perth is 60,000-80,000 a year and other cities are 50,000-60,000.
Study abroad and entry
I. Qualification restrictions
The number of students going to Australia is very large, especially at the beginning of the semester, and the number of people who need immigration inspection will increase sharply. After getting off the plane, everyone had to wait in line in the face of a long queue waiting for review, wasting time.
However, in recent years, the qualification of self-service customs clearance has been gradually opened to people with different entry status, and international students belong to the first batch. As long as 16 years old or older, you can check the machine by yourself and clear customs by yourself, which greatly saves time.
Students are required to hold electronic passports, and the customs clearance machine will scan everyone's electronic passports to confirm the identity of the inspected person. Therefore, everyone should prepare a mobile phone with internet connection and their own e-passport certificate. The recently updated passport will have a chip, or it can be scanned directly.
If you want to save time and pass the customs inspection by self-service, you need to replace a new passport with a chip logo in China. Only New Zealand, Britain, the United States and Singapore took the lead in opening up, but China has recently joined the ranks of self-help.
Second, the customs clearance process
1. customs clearance cabinet machine
The process is also very simple. When you get off the plane, find SmartGate Kiosk, then scan the e-passport on the cabinet, confirm your identity according to the upgrade, and answer the corresponding questions through the touch screen. They are all relatively simple basic questions and can be answered in order.
After the Q&A, the counter will print and display the SmartGate tickets, and everyone needs to take them out for safekeeping. If you don't pass the cabinet question and answer, you need to go to the population check, accept the manual check, and release it after confirming that there is no problem.
2. Customs clearance
Students who pass the cabinet or manual inspection need to go to the gate. At this time, they need to bring their own customs clearance documents and their own luggage knowledge. The camera at the customs gate will automatically match the information of the student's identity and e-passport. If it succeeds, the door will open. Remember to take out the receipt and pass it.
Similarly, if the verification is unsuccessful, everyone needs to go to the window for a second inspection and accept the audit of the staff. You don't need to wait in line, go directly to the counter for inspection, and then enter the lobby to collect the checked baggage after passing.
