1. What is the preparatory course? The content of the preparatory course for studying abroad is a prerequisite course for universities, which is designed for domestic students who cannot directly enter the undergraduate major. It is also an important way for high school students to enter ideal universities in Australia.
Second, preparatory schools are suitable for students of any age to study abroad. The preparatory program is set up for entering undergraduate study and training, so there are certain regulations on the age level of students. General colleges and universities require students who have finished Grade Two in China to prepare for Grade Three in advance, or students who are studying Grade Three or graduating from high school. Students and parents who plan to study in Australia should pay attention to this requirement.
Third, why choose the preparatory course? Preparatory course is a bridge course, which is dedicated to integrating international students into Australian classroom teaching and growth environment, improving students' English communication and coordination ability, and guiding students to master Australian educational concepts. According to the data, the test scores of students who enter the undergraduate major after studying in Australia are better than those who enter the university directly after the college entrance examination.
In addition, if high school students in China want to apply for the University of Melbourne, they need to enter the first year of the University of Melbourne through the content of preparatory study abroad. The University of Melbourne is the only university in Australia that refuses to accept the results of China's college entrance examination.
What is the preparatory course for studying in Australia? Australian preparatory course is the content of university basic course or highway and bridge course. Before going to college, we should make good preparations for cultural education. Generally, foreign high school graduates are required to study in the preparatory course 1 year to meet the overseas learning style. The contents of Australian preparatory courses are generally divided into four directions: literature and history, business majors, science and engineering, and scientific rationality. The undergraduate majors chosen in different directions will be different in the future, and the subjects of pre-university are also different.
The characteristic of preparatory courses in Australia is that the admission standard of preparatory courses will be smaller than that of undergraduate courses. Generally, high school transcripts plus IELTS scores can complete the application. The subjects of preparatory courses are generally the main courses plus elective courses in the direction that you want to study after college. The key subjects are generally English courses plus Australian history courses. It is important to choose different subjects from different universities. For Australian universities that don't agree with Chinese college entrance examination scores, students' matriculation test scores are very important.
To apply for Australian University Foundation, the minimum IELTS score is 4.5, and students need to pay attention to the preparation of language scores before registering. But be careful, don't think that 100% students can go to undergraduate courses just by attending college preparatory courses. According to different technical majors, Australian universities have different employment standards, and students may find it difficult to hire because their test scores are not up to standard, or their selection criteria must be lowered.
The above is a brief introduction to the difficult problems in the selection of preparatory courses for studying in Australia, and I look forward to helping domestic students who are interested in applying for studying in Australia.
