The reasons for studying in Australia for one year before undergraduate study are as follows:
First of all, preparatory study helps to improve students' language ability. Because domestic IELTS training often focuses on the improvement of test-taking skills, some students lack the ability to adapt to foreign life even if their IELTS scores meet the entrance requirements before going abroad, so they can't study directly at undergraduate level. Preparatory courses can make up for this shortcoming. After studying and living in a pure English environment for one year, students' English listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities will be improved to varying degrees.
Secondly, in addition to cultivating language ability, preparatory study also offers some professional courses. Most of these specialized courses are set up according to the majors that students apply for, specifically to help students make up for the lack of knowledge background, and even some professional course credits for preparatory courses can be included in university credits.
Furthermore, adapt to the Australian teaching model. The differences in educational methods and concepts between China and the West will inevitably make students who have just arrived in China feel unable to adapt to the Australian teaching methods. Preparatory study will give students a transitional period to adapt to the teaching methods of Australian universities, which will help them get familiar with the university education, daily life and social environment here.
