Undergraduate application
I. Application conditions
Most of the schools studying in Canada are public universities, and each university has its own admission criteria. Generally speaking, there are three basic requirements to apply for Canadian universities, which are also the three conditions for studying in Canada.
After graduating from high school, the average test score in high school is above 80.
The college entrance examination score is not less than 70% of the perfect score.
The TOEFL score is not less than 90, and the IELTS score is 6.0 or above.
If students want to go directly to Canada to study in universities, they must complete all secondary education to meet the requirements of studying in Canada, and they must have good academic performance and language performance.
At the same time, students need strong financial ability at home to ensure the smooth completion of their studies.
It should be noted that in addition to meeting the basic conditions for studying abroad, it is also necessary to determine institutions and majors.
The quality of teaching in Canadian universities is balanced, but different universities still have their own unique teaching characteristics. When choosing an institution, we should not only look at the ranking, but also look at the comprehensive level, learning atmosphere, professional direction and geographical location of the school.
For students whose major orientation is not very clear, you can determine the major direction first and then decide the major in the second year.
Second, the application skills
I. Basic achievements
Basic universities in Canada only need applicants to provide their usual grades and exam results, while comprehensive universities require students to provide college entrance examination results, which is only an important criterion for screening applicants.
Second, language proficiency.
In Canada, due to a large number of British and French immigrants, there are both English speakers and French speakers in China, but generally speaking, English is widely used, and English is the main teaching language in colleges and universities.
IELTS and TOEFL scores are recognized by Canadian universities.
Generally speaking, the higher the teaching level, the higher the ranking and the higher the language requirements. Excellent language scores will add points to your application.
Third, capital preparation.
Fund preparation includes two aspects, on the one hand, tuition and living expenses, on the other hand, security deposit.
The cost of studying in Canada is not cheap, so it is best to prepare in advance to prevent accidents, and prepare all the expenses at least three months in advance.
Master's application
1, must have a bachelor degree.
Generally speaking, the graduate school of Canadian universities requires applicants to have a four-year bachelor's degree from a regular university, or at least have completed the 1 semester of their senior year, and provide proof that they can obtain a diploma and a degree certificate 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, my GPA score is relatively high.
For 1 and master's degree universities, applicants are generally required to have a GPA of 3.0 or above in the next two years. However, if you don't work hard enough in the last two years, your GPA may be affected, which will interfere with your application plan.
You should learn English well.
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.
4. Choose professional courses consistent with the undergraduate stage.
Applying for a master's degree in Canada generally requires the applicant to have a relevant undergraduate background, that is to say, not all masters can apply for a bachelor's degree in Canada. Except MBA, almost all Canadian master's degrees require applicants to graduate from the same undergraduate major. And for some special majors, even if the applicant has an undergraduate professional background, it may not be accepted, such as law, accounting, medicine and so on.
5. Write a document that can reflect yourself.
Another important part of Canadian master's application is the preparation of application documents. Application documents include resume, 2-3 letters of recommendation and personal statement or letter of intent. These application documents are as important as the GPA of the applicant at the time of application, and the registration team of the graduate school will judge whether the applicant has the potential to continue research in this field beyond the transcript.
Then, the competition for postgraduate entrance in Canada is very fierce. In addition to the above conditions, students should pay attention to the application time. The application materials need to be well prepared and can reflect personal characteristics. At the same time, whether science and engineering applicants can be admitted depends on the opinions of the instructors. Tutors will select students who are helpful to their research projects according to their educational background and research experience in related fields.
