This paper contains two parts: 1. Does the country have any requirements for college entrance examination results? 2. Four ways to study abroad after the college entrance examination.
First, countries that have requirements for college entrance examination results
1. Canada
Most famous schools need college entrance examination results, and some universities also need test results.
Other schools generally only need to provide high school scores and IELTS scores. These schools also have top professional rankings, such as Concordia University, which ranks seventh in finance. Brook University ranked tenth in accounting, and so on. There are also some preparatory schools, such as Columbia International College and Imbili College, which can apply for preparatory courses for six months to one year, and then apply for Canadian universities, including prestigious schools, after graduation!
2. Australia
Similar to Canada, generally good universities need college entrance examination scores, and the higher the score, the better. But if they don't do well in the college entrance examination, they can also use diploma courses and preparatory courses as springboard. You can apply for a prestigious Australian school after graduating from a one-year course. Two-year tafe courses can not only upgrade students, but also apply for skilled immigrants.
Second, the results of the college entrance examination are for reference, but they are not necessary for the country.
1. United States of America
As a reference condition, college entrance examination results are not necessary.
The average score of high school is above 80, and the TOEFL 100 is above. No matter what your sat scores are, you have the opportunity to apply to the top universities in the United States 100. Students with good sat 1 and sat2 scores have a good chance to apply for scholarships. If there are no language scores such as IELTS or TOEFL after the college entrance examination, you can choose "language+degree" for conditional admission.
Third, countries that do not need college entrance examination results.
1.uk
There is no need to provide college entrance examination results.
You only need to provide HKCEE scores and high school average, and enroll in the preparatory course of 1 year. Here are two options. One is to enroll in the preparatory course offered by the university you apply for; The second is to attend the preparatory courses offered by public colleges, and after completing the preparatory courses, enter the university through the British college entrance examination system.
2. Netherlands
H-class universities do not need to provide college entrance examination results.
The so-called H-type university is an applied technology-oriented university that focuses on cultivating applied talents. Among these H-class universities, there are many world-renowned universities, such as the hotel management major of Stanford University, which ranks eighth in the world, and the mba program of Rotterdam Business School, which ranks 10 in the world. Moreover, most H-class schools can add preparatory courses, which lowers the threshold for students with poor English.
3. Switzerland
There is no need to provide college entrance examination results, and IELTS needs 4.5 points.
4. Singapore
You can apply for a private university. Generally, you don't need college entrance examination results. You can study language+undergraduate course in Singapore. There are many joint projects with European and American universities in private schools in Singapore, which are also the springboard to European and American countries.
5. Japan
The results of the college entrance examination are not important, but mainly depends on the interview.
In Japan, you don't need to provide college entrance examination scores, you need to provide test scores or average scores. The general college entrance examination results have no effect on Japanese visas. The important thing is the interview. Good Japanese is a must!
6. Malaysia
You don't need to provide college entrance examination results, just provide college entrance examination results and high school graduation certificate. Malaysia has a very high visa rate and has joint projects with many schools in Europe and America, which is also a powerful springboard to European and American countries!
7. North Korea; South Korea
You don't need the college entrance examination, it's easy to get in.
Korean students who choose to study in Korea do not need to provide college entrance examination results, as long as they provide high school average scores. After the college entrance examination, students who go to Korea can use their spare time to lay a good foundation of Korean in China in order to integrate into the learning atmosphere in Korea. Most colleges and universities in South Korea only closed their applications at the end of June, and there is still time to register after the college entrance examination.
8. Denmark, Switzerland, Finland
Denmark, Sweden; Finland, three countries do not require college entrance examination results, but the undergraduate stage is basically local language teaching, which requires learning the local language, and there are few professional options for individual English courses.
What are the ways to study abroad?
Path 1: Apply for the preparatory course of American undergraduate university, and start regular undergraduate study after completing the preparatory course.
Apply for the preparatory course of American undergraduate university, and start regular undergraduate study after completing the preparatory course. Many universities offer preparatory courses, so that students who have not taken relevant exams can enter universities first through preparatory courses. For example, American universities and the University of Delaware are among the top 100 universities in the United States. American universities, for example, rank around 70 in the United States and are located in Washington, USA. Within 6 months after graduation, 90% of AU undergraduates find jobs or enter graduate schools for further study. 89% of undergraduates participated in the internship in the undergraduate stage.
Path 2: Apply to a community college, transfer to a prestigious school two years later, complete the next two years of study, and get this science degree.
Apply for a community college, transfer to a regular university two years later, study for another two years, and get a bachelor's degree. Community colleges have low tuition fees. After getting excellent grades in community colleges, you can apply for transfer to regular universities two years later. Community college is not equal to diploma workshop. Community college is an indispensable part of American higher education. As a two-year university, it provides undergraduate basic education, non-degree courses and weekend courses at low prices. Most community colleges have also signed transfer agreements with the top four-year universities in the local education system to ensure that qualified students can enter the contracted schools, and provide international and local students with transfer-related resources and guidance. So this process is particularly popular in California. Most students can successfully transfer to various branches of the University of California through community colleges.
Path 3: The United States and Canada can take the road of "double admission"
Double admission, also known as "conditional admission", is mainly aimed at children who want to study abroad and have no TOEFL or IELTS scores. The school will provide two admission notices, one for the language center and the other for the university specialized course. As long as you meet the language requirements, you can study directly in university specialized courses, that is, the prerequisite is to complete the language requirements. Double admission is more suitable for China students who want to study in the United States or Canada. After students arrive in the country of study, they first enter the language center to study English courses. After the language meets the requirements of the school, they can directly enter all courses of undergraduate or graduate students without applying separately. Therefore, if you apply for a dual admission school, students can take the college entrance examination seriously without any burden!
At present, the "double admission" program is mainly concentrated in Canada and the United States. Among the students who applied to study in Canada and the United States, many were refused visas because of their poor language. In order to avoid visa rejection and improve students' English level after going abroad, some universities have launched a "double admission" program, which makes students' study plans complete and they can apply for visas smoothly. At present, "double admission" is mainly aimed at undergraduate students studying abroad.
The advantage of "double admission" is that it is suitable for high school students who have insufficient language preparation or relatively weak English ability and want to study abroad quickly, or who get high marks in standardized exams but have weak practical English application ability. After completing the language course, you can successfully enter the formal course of the school without re-applying. At the same time, we can adapt to the school environment and learning atmosphere through this language learning time.
Challenge: If you choose double admission, students will spend more time and money on language reinforcement than students who enroll directly. Most students complete the transition through one semester of language learning, so students may complete the whole learning stage in four and a half years. Of course, because the school is a credit system, if students take more courses in the next few semesters and speed up the process of taking credits, they can graduate in four years or even longer. In terms of fees, the tuition fee is about $65,438+0,500/month. Most students study languages for one semester, about 4-5 months, plus living expenses, so the budget is generally above $65,438+0,000.
Application conditions: you need to prepare school transcripts, proof of study, teacher's recommendation letter, bank deposit certificate, personal statement, resume, etc. If a student has no language achievement for the time being or fails to meet the requirements of the school, the school will first review the academic ability of the student and consider giving the student conditional admission.
Although both "double admission" and preparatory courses have language learning problems, "double admission" cannot completely replace preparatory courses. Students who are "double-admitted" must attend language training first, and only after the language meets the requirements can they take professional courses; Preparatory courses include language training and comprehensive study of some professional courses.
Path 4: Taking the "Bridge Course" is also a way.
If the applicant's language ability has not yet reached the direct admission requirements of the school, the school will offer bridge courses such as "language strengthening and basic academic courses" in order to let students successfully meet the admission requirements. This course will strengthen students' academic English application ability, such as teaching students how to write papers, how to make presentations and other academic English skills.
Advantages: Students can not only adapt to the learning environment quickly, but also improve their language expression ability. At the same time, they can get credits by taking some academic courses of specific majors, thus reducing the burden of entering formal courses.
Challenge: Students need to have a certain English background to test both languages and majors. Students who take this course will have less credits after one semester, so they need to take more credits next semester or take some courses in summer vacation to make up their credits, or they will graduate in about one semester.
Application conditions: you need to prepare school transcripts, proof of study, teacher's recommendation letter, bank deposit certificate, personal statement, resume and other materials from a formal applicant institution. If students' academic ability meets the requirements of the school, they have no language scores for the time being or their language scores can't meet the requirements of the school, the school needs students to take some language courses while studying university courses.
Path 5: read foreign preparatory courses first, and you don't need college entrance examination results.
According to the education system of most western countries, if overseas high school students want to enter universities in Australia, the United States, New Zealand, Canada and European countries for undergraduate study, they must first pass the preparatory course of the university 1 year, that is, the preparatory course of the university, in order to obtain admission qualifications, and they do not need to take the university unified examination. The design of preparatory courses is provided by foreign universities. In addition to passing the language barrier, preparatory students have to study the preparatory courses of their universities. Only by passing the graduation exams in all subjects and obtaining the matriculation diploma can they study in foreign universities. At present, the preparatory courses in the domestic market can be divided into university (undergraduate) preparatory courses and postgraduate (master's and doctoral) preparatory courses. Reasonable study plan.
In Britain, the United States, New Zealand, Australia and other western countries, students can continue their undergraduate studies after completing 13 years of basic education. The educational system of primary and secondary schools in China is 12 years, which is one year behind the western countries. Therefore, domestic high school students or other students with equivalent education, whether abroad or at home after graduation, must take a one-year undergraduate preparatory course before applying for undergraduate courses in foreign universities.
Most British universities offer pre-university courses. The undergraduate course in Commonwealth countries is three years, plus the preparatory course of 1 year, which is the same as that in domestic universities, and the number of courses in foreign three-year undergraduate courses is not less than that in domestic universities. It will be difficult for students to study without preview. Universities in Scotland have a four-year system, while universities in other regions have a three-year system. Therefore, if high school graduates pass English, they can go directly to the undergraduate course of the University of Scotland without having to go to the preparatory course.
Some universities in Australia recognize the results of the college entrance examination and draw lots for scores. Students can enter undergraduate study directly if their grades reach the standard and their language scores meet the requirements. Otherwise, students must study preparatory courses before they can enter university professional courses. Generally speaking, the pre-university courses in Australia last for six months to one year, offering five or six courses, mainly business, liberal arts, science, engineering and law. Students can choose according to the major to be studied in the university, and then choose a specific major after completing the preparatory course and entering the university. In terms of curriculum, English is the main compulsory course, except for the compulsory courses and elective courses for majors according to the preparatory direction.
Preparatory courses have a complete set of courses in these countries. Through the preparatory study, foreign students mainly adapt to the future university study in terms of language, learning methods and cultural life, and learn some professional basic knowledge and learning skills to be learned in the university stage.
Choose the right preparatory course at three o'clock: look at the qualifications. As a high-quality regular preparatory teaching institution, its school-running projects need to be filed or approved by the education authorities. While looking at qualifications, we should also pay attention to the number of cooperative institutions and the quality of education. Generally speaking, the more cooperative institutions there are, the wider the range that students can choose in the future; At the same time, the higher the popularity of cooperative colleges, the better the teaching quality and the better the education for students. Look at the quality. Preparatory course is not only a process of language strengthening, but also a process of professional learning. Therefore, good preparatory institutions generally have strict quality control systems. Third, look at the strength of teachers. Good preparatory education will be taught by all foreign teachers. This teaching method is helpful to improve students' English level at first. Because when students apply for studying abroad after completing the domestic preparatory course, most foreign cooperative institutions require TOEFL or IELTS scores. Generally, TOEFL scores are above 80 and IELTS scores are above 6.5. Only a few institutions are allowed to substitute internal language test scores. In addition to the transition of language, all foreign teachers also have the connection between thinking mode and learning mode.
Advantages: improve the language level and study the professional courses of the university at the same time. If you take the course of transferring credits at the same time, you can save the time of undergraduate study.
Challenge: the preparatory course lasts for half a year to 1 year, which is longer than the students who go directly to college, and the cost will naturally be higher.
Application conditions: language and college entrance examination scores are not required, only junior high school or high school scores are required.
