Second, the advantages of Australian undergraduate study abroad
1. Different educational models
Education in Australia has always been combining leniency with severity, focusing on cultivating students' research and logical thinking ability. Students should fully understand and learn knowledge through papers, demonstrations, homework and group discussions. Students pay more attention to self-study and break the traditional teaching and learning mode.
2. The evaluation method of upgrading to undergraduate course is different.
For Australian undergraduate students, they can pass the state examination and meet the admission requirements. And the evaluation method is different from that in China. Usually, grades plus test scores are common evaluation methods.
3. The arrangement of Australian undergraduate education system is very reasonable.
Undergraduate programs in Australia are mainly 3-5 years, general business, liberal arts and IT programs are 3 years, engineering and education programs are 4 years, and medical programs are 5 years. In addition, the starting time is reasonable, most courses are started twice a year, and individual schools have three opportunities to start school.
4. Curriculum setting
Australian courses closely meet the needs of the Australian market, and many schools have internship courses. Students can study and practice at the undergraduate stage to enhance their future employment competitiveness.
It is good to study further.
If students want to study for a research-oriented master's degree or doctor's degree in the future, they can study for an honorary bachelor's degree for another year after three years of undergraduate courses, and do experiments with their tutors to improve their research ability, so as to apply for research-oriented courses.
Three. Frequently asked questions about studying in Australia
1. Do I have to emigrate to study in Australia? Do I have to apply for a hot major?
First of all, studying abroad is by no means equal to immigration. Students are advised to be cautious when choosing a major in studying in Australia, and never follow suit blindly. For example, some students have heard that immigration accounting is easier, so they report to accounting. Although I am particularly disgusted with numbers, I have no interest in accounting.
2. Can I apply for an Australian university only if I get IELTS scores?
You can apply for an Australian university without IELTS scores. You can prepare for the IELTS test in the process of Australian universities. Before you have an IELTS score, the school can issue a conditional admission notice and then make up the IELTS score. Another advantage of Australian universities is that they have language courses. If your English is not up to standard, you can apply for language courses at school.
3. if the score is not enough, you must apply for a prestigious school. What if it succeeds?
Some friends have the motivation to enter Australian universities, even if their grades are almost the same, they should insist on applying. This idea is really too simple. Australian universities have strict requirements for academic qualifications, and it is impossible to apply successfully if the scores are not enough.
However, you can apply for an Australian university that meets your own conditions first, and then consider applying or transferring after studying hard in Australia for a period of time.
4. Can I transfer to another school after I arrive in Australia?
It's ok to transfer in Australia. Transfer is divided into two situations, one is active and the other is naturally passive. If you feel that you can't keep up with the progress or don't want it after studying in the Australian university you applied for, for example, some schools pay more attention to theoretical research, but you want to learn some skills, then you can take the initiative to apply for transfer. In another case, when you fail the course seriously, the school thinks that you can't keep up with your study progress at present, and some schools will gently persuade you to transfer.
