The first Australian scholarship was a government scholarship. As the name implies, this Australian scholarship is funded by the Australian government. According to the classification of Australian scholarships, we divide Australian scholarships into government scholarships, college scholarships and professional scholarships. Australian government scholarships mainly include Australian Development Scholarship ADS and Australian International Postgraduate Research Scholarship IPRS. The Australian Agency for International Development (AU-SAID) and the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of China jointly issued ADS to China government officials. However, at present, the scholarship does not accept individual applications, and interested applicants need to contact the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation or the local foreign economic and trade commission. However, IPRS are mainly distributed to overseas masters or doctors who do research projects, with only 300 places each year, and the scholarships provided are used to pay tuition fees and health insurance premiums. The average university has 20 to 30 places every year, almost two to three universities every year.
In order to attract more students to study in Australia, the Australian government has specially implemented the Australian Scholarship Program. According to statistics, the single amount of these government scholarships can reach 95,000 Australian dollars. However, judging from the application feedback in recent years, Australian government scholarships have attracted a large number of applicants, but at the same time, their variety, strict evaluation and long application period have also discouraged more and more applicants.
The second kind of Australian scholarship is the scholarship of colleges and universities, which is also the way that Australian study abroad schools come up with to attract more students. In addition to government scholarships, many Australian universities have set up various scholarships for international students in order to enhance their international reputation and attract international students. The amount ranges from a few hundred Australian dollars to 20 thousand Australian dollars, and the acquisition methods are not the same. Some have passed grades, some have passed interviews, and some even need some special experiences or recommendations from designated institutions. The majors involved have become more and more popular in recent years.
The third kind of Australian scholarship is a professional scholarship, which is set up by the specific department of the Australian study abroad school. The affiliated colleges of Australian universities also provide various scholarships for international students. This kind of scholarship has a high amount, but few places. Among the eight prestigious universities, the School of Engineering and Computer Science of National University provides 5,000 Australian dollars of international student scholarships (CECS) for China students who are studying for master's degrees in engineering, computer science and information technology. Applicants who graduated from 265,438+065,438+0 engineering universities need to get a score of 90 or above.
If you want to apply for an Australian scholarship, you need to know in advance and make preparations early. Some Australian schools will select Australian scholarship winners on a first-come-first-served basis. The competition for Australian scholarships is fierce, and students need to go all out.
2. Application conditions for studying in Australia at different stages
First, the conditions for entering the exam at a young age
Although many students choose to go to college here after finishing high school, it is not without students who have come here to go to college since junior high school. After all, they can contact the environment here as soon as possible.
In Australia, middle school is four years and high school is two years. Students can apply for Grade 7 when they are in Grade 6, and Grade 8 when they are in Grade 1. However, students in grade 12 cannot enter directly, and students in senior two and senior three can also enter the preparatory course directly.
The application for middle school is different from that for high school. There is no hard and fast requirement for language at this time, but students have to take their language classes. However, because the students in this period are basically underage, schools usually let their parents accompany them.
Second, the conditions of the preparatory course
In order to let these foreign students adapt to the teaching here first, ordinary schools will let students take elective courses. Only after finishing the preparatory course can they know whether they can go to the university they planned to attend. If their grades are better, they can go to better universities.
You should also have IELTS scores in the preparatory course, generally above 5.0. In the preparatory course, we will also distinguish which preparatory course to study according to students' IELTS scores and so on.
Third, the conditions of undergraduate course
Most schools in Australia can apply based on the results of the college entrance examination, and of course they have their own requirements. For example, the Eighth National Congress generally needs one line, and other schools need more than two lines.
Then if the college entrance examination score is not enough, you can go to the preparatory course. But how long the preparatory course can last depends on the results of the college entrance examination. If the language is not very good, then you want to take a language course, and the length of the course depends on your grades.
Four, the master's conditions
The first requirement for a master's degree is IELTS, which is generally 0.5 points higher. Of course, there are generally requirements for the average score of students, but it depends on what major the students studied before. If it is a double non-school, there must be more than 90% in general. And some majors also require internship experience.

These colleges include: art, trade, engineering design, law, music and fine arts, forestry and science. The college has 39 departments. 17 the research center has extensive international cooperation with other countries. For example, the New Zealand Human-Computer Interface Science and Technology Laboratory is an affiliated laboratory of the Human-Computer Interface Science and Technology Laboratory of the University of Washington, USA, which is dedicated to the research on the innovation of human-computer communication.
3. Massey University
Massey University is unique in theoretical science, applied science (including agriculture, horticulture and veterinary medicine), commerce, education, social science, science and technology, engineering and information science.

2. University of Sydney
As the first university in Australia, the University of Sydney is also one of the top five universities in Sydney and one of the top eight universities.
At present, most majors in the University of Sydney also pay more attention to technical and mathematical skills, rather than management and leadership in business. Therefore, Sita University has more limited choices than other universities. Its business degree is more suitable for students who pursue careers in technical fields, such as finance, accounting and economics.
Small class counseling at the University of Sydney focuses on the ability to solve problems, and discussing actual cases is also a major feature.
Third, the southern region.
1, University of New South Wales
The University of New South Wales, which has been focusing on engineering and business, is one of the eight universities in Australia with a relatively high employment rate.
The business school of this school attaches great importance to professional skills, such as accounting, finance, or other math skills related to the economy, rather than the management part of business.
Therefore, UNSW is a good choice for those small partners who are interested in banks and economy.
The admission time for Australian graduate students is February and July every year, so students who want to apply for Australian graduate students need to prepare six months to one year in advance;
University of Sydney's rival University of New South Wales killed the University of Sydney in a 20 18 increase in business tuition fees.
