1, the family has a certain economic foundation;

2. Have a good foreign language foundation. For example, IELTS, TOEFL, Japanese and so on. Different universities have different requirements for language according to different destinations;

3. Have good self-care ability. When going abroad, you may be alone, you can adapt to the local living and learning environment as soon as possible, and you can also find a good partner in the local area as soon as possible. These are the foundations for the success of studying abroad.

4. Choose a good major. Since studying abroad costs a lot of money, it is necessary to choose a good professional employment to lay a good foundation for future development.

In China, there is a master's preparatory course in which college graduates go abroad for one year and then go directly to overseas universities to study for a master's degree in business. It only takes two years to complete all the master's courses, which saves 1 year compared with studying abroad directly. Judging from the current graduates of preparatory courses, more than half of the students can apply to the top 200 universities in the world.

Second, the conditions for postgraduate study in the UK

Language requirements

Usually, if you apply for a direct master's degree (not taking a language course), your IELTS score should be above 6.5, and the requirements of prestigious schools will be higher, around 7-7.5, and the IELTS score of top business schools in the UK is generally above 7.5. IELTS scores require different schools and majors.

The school will provide language courses ranging from 5 to 20 weeks for students whose language scores are not up to standard, and some language centers will be set up by the school itself. The majors that require higher language scores are: business, media, education, law, etc.

Academic background requirements

The requirements of famous universities in Britain for GPA are: 2 1 1 the school requires about 85 points; Non-2 1 1 schools require about 90 points. Some majors require students' professional background at the undergraduate level, such as accounting, finance and engineering. At the same time, they will require excellent math scores.

For applicants whose background has not yet reached the level of direct admission to British graduate schools, it is recommended to take a one-year master's preparatory course. Preparatory courses can make up for the weakness of students' professional knowledge and basic knowledge in the upcoming master's courses, cultivate students to fully adapt to British learning methods, teaching methods and ways of thinking, improve students' English level, and help students finally make a smooth transition to master's courses.

Third, the conditions for graduate students studying in Canada

Have a bachelor's degree.

Generally speaking, graduate schools of Canadian universities require applicants to have a four-year bachelor's degree from regular universities (except three-year bachelor's degrees in Britain and Australia), or at least have finished the first semester of their senior year, and provide proof that they can obtain a diploma and a degree certificate in that year. In addition, it is difficult for many students to apply for graduate students in Canada, but this will not rule out some exceptions.

After two years of hard work, the GPA score is relatively high. GPA is the average score of college grades, and some schools use American scores to express it (that is, out of 4.0). Master's first-and second-class universities generally require applicants to have a GPA of 3.0 or above in the last two years. General universities will require an average score of more than 80%, and better universities will also require a professional course score of more than 85% in the next two years. If you don't work hard enough in the last two years, your GPA may be affected, which will interfere with your application plan.

Get good English and other related results. Canadian masters generally only require applicants to have TOEFL or IELTS scores or other English tests such as MELAB and CanTest. GRE is only needed for science and engineering majors in some schools. Of course, GMAT is also necessary for students applying for MBA. Therefore, before applying, you must first understand the requirements of applying for a school and be targeted.
