Conditions for Australian undergraduate students to apply for studying abroad I. Academic conditions
1, college entrance examination results: Australian universities can accept Chinese college entrance examination results to apply for undergraduate courses (except Mexican universities). Generally, the average score is required to be above 60%, and more than 80% can apply for G8 institutions in Australia.
2. High school grades: Students who have not participated in the college entrance examination can apply by virtue of their three-year high school grades. If you apply for the University of Melbourne, you need an average score of 85 or more.
3. Undergraduate scores: Domestic freshmen can apply for an Australian undergraduate with their freshman scores. When applying for G8 colleges and universities, the scores of students in 2 1 1/985 colleges and universities are relatively lower than those in double non-colleges and universities. The former needs 80 points, and the latter may need more than 85 points to be admitted.
Second, the language conditions.
IELTS must be at least 6.0. G8 colleges and universities generally require IELTS 6.5, and some majors such as education, medicine, law and translation require IELTS 7.0 or above.
Third, economic conditions.
1. Tuition: In Australia, top universities, especially the top ten universities, spend about12-200,000 yuan a year studying abroad, while universities in rich cities such as Sydney and Melbourne spend about16-200,000 yuan a year studying abroad. The better the campus facilities and courses, the more expensive.
According to the Notice on Publishing the List of World-class Universities and First-class Discipline Construction Universities and Disciplines issued by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance and the National Development and Reform Commission, there are 42 world-class universities, which are divided into 36 A-class universities and 6 B-class universities. Among the six B universities, Northeastern University, Hunan University and Northwest A&F University were all on the "985" list before, while Xinjiang University, Yunnan University and Zhengzhou University were not "985" universities. Compared with the previous 39 "985" universities, Xinjiang University, Yunnan University and Zhengzhou University rank among the 42 first-class construction universities.
So, what is a world-class university?
Ding Xueliang, a famous scholar, pointed out in his book What is a World-class University that the root of a university is universus, which means universality, wholeness, world and universe, so the spirit of a university is universalism from the day it was born. This spirit of universalism is embodied in three aspects:
First, the faculty of universities must come from all corners of the country, not just schools, places and countries, but from all countries and universities in the world.
Second, students should also be diverse. We can't recruit students from only one region (country), nor can we measure students by a standard, let alone use a model to shape students.
Third, the teaching courses and research projects of first-class universities must also be universal and cosmopolitan, that is, they can be in line with others when they are taken internationally. Take his three to measure domestic universities, and the distance is clear at a glance. Only when people with different backgrounds are treated equally can they inspire and compete with each other, activate their minds and broaden their thinking. Inbreeding is a taboo in the development of academic thought. From this point of view, many arguments in China shouting "building a world-class university" have at least no goal.
About Australia's "Double First-Class" Universities In the recently published QS World University Rankings, Australia's "Eight Famous Universities" are all among the top 100 in the world. In recent years, the Australian government has also issued a series of preferential policies for international students, attracting more and more students to study in Australia.
Eight famous universities in Australia, such as the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales, the University of Melbourne, Monash University, the University of Adelaide, the University of Western Australia, the University of Queensland and the Australian National University, are representatives of quality education in Australia.
As the most prestigious top universities in Australia, the "Big Eight" universities are still performing steadily in terms of teaching quality and scientific research level.
The influence of the list of "double first-class" universities on studying in Australia
At present, Australian universities have not responded to the double-class list. However, Australian universities recognize the 985 and 2 1 1 projects. In their eyes, 985 and 2 1 1 universities are the best schools in China. Therefore, almost all universities will relax the requirements of applicants from domestic 985 and 2 1 1 institutions on the average score of undergraduate courses by about 5 points. For example, the master of engineering major of Kunshan Blue University requires an average score of 70 for graduates from 2 1 1 colleges, but an average score of 75 for graduates from 2 1 1 colleges. And many universities refined these regulations as early as seven years ago. For example, the admission criteria of the School of Engineering of Australian National University require different admission scores according to three grades: "985", "2 1 1" and "non-2 1 1".
