For high school graduates, they have systematically mastered the necessary basic knowledge, and many people also want to get in touch with different educational models, learn a brand-new way of thinking and further improve themselves. Different from the single teaching method in China, the foreign teaching mode is more flexible and diverse, and pays more attention to the cultivation of students' personal interests and specialties. Foreign countries emphasize the development of individual creativity, so they have advantages in personalized talents and creativity. Some international students who have completed basic education in China will gradually show their advantages in basic skills abroad. It is precisely because of this that some students who are not necessarily "good students" in the eyes of teachers when studying in China often have more room for development abroad.
There are significant differences in learning efficiency between foreign universities and domestic universities. On the one hand, developed countries are more advanced in educational methods, concepts and teaching facilities. Another advantage is time. The standard study time in domestic universities is 4 years for undergraduates and 3 years for master students, while in Australia, Britain, New Zealand and other countries, undergraduates only need 3 years and master students only need 1 year, so they can start their careers earlier than their domestic peers.
In addition, foreign universities offer a wide range of majors, many of which are still blank in China or are not generally recognized abroad. If you want to get a job abroad by studying these majors, then you have to choose to get a foreign degree. The scientific research level of some foreign majors is higher than that of China (such as some fields of science and engineering and social sciences), so it is more favorable for students who want to study these majors to choose to go abroad for further study.
2 cultivate students' independence
Self-care ability is exercised, and study abroad experience can undoubtedly cultivate students' independent ability. Being single abroad, no matter whether you live or study, you have to solve most problems by yourself. From understanding to integrating into foreign lifestyles, international students can continuously enhance their independent living ability.
Guo Ning, director of Guangzhou Overseas Students Service Management Center, said that most of the post-80s and post-90s generation in China are only children, and their parents love their children very much. Living abroad is a good exercise for their independence.
3 Enjoy a good language environment
Language environment is very important for a person to improve his language level. Although English is the main foreign language studied in China, most students can successfully pass the CET-4 and CET-6 in college, but in the actual application process, they are "high marks but low abilities", and even some life conversations are difficult to cope with, let alone professional communication in English. Studying abroad can provide a good language environment for students to integrate into local life and learn another way of thinking on the basis of in-depth understanding of western culture, so as to master a language more comprehensively and profoundly.
4. Create stronger employment competitiveness
As far as the current employment situation is concerned, although there has been a phenomenon of "waiting for international students" in recent years, the overall employment situation of "returnees" is still good, and the competitiveness and development potential of international students will be stronger and they can have a higher career starting point. On the one hand, it is because the current recruitment units still attach great importance to students' academic qualifications. If they have a foreign degree certificate, they will add a lot of weight to themselves when looking for a job; On the other hand, the experience of studying abroad has also brought rich experience, novel way of thinking, independent ability and excellent professional quality to foreign students, and they have become better than others when looking for a job.
Li Zhu, president of Kai Tak Education, believes that the current domestic employment competition is too fierce, and both undergraduate graduates, junior college graduates and higher vocational graduates will face a severe employment situation. A large number of college graduates are under great employment pressure after graduation, even facing unemployment, or have to join the employment force from a very low starting point. In order to alleviate the current employment pressure and gain stronger employment competitiveness, studying abroad is a good choice.
5. Accumulate foreign working experience as early as possible.
All major countries studying abroad have clear regulations for international students to work. Generally speaking, international students can work off campus for about 20 hours a week, and generally during the long vacation, international students can find full-time jobs. A large number of part-time jobs abroad also provide a good training environment for international students. The work done by international students can not only subsidize part of the living expenses for studying abroad, but also make international students better understand the foreign society, better integrate into the local society, and exercise their language level at work, which is more meaningful. The work experience gained by foreign students in the course of work is also a valuable asset, which may pave the way for future work.
6 study abroad before immigration
There are not a few students who plan to emigrate after studying abroad, and some students have already considered the immigration problem when they began to choose their majors. For major immigrant countries, they always hope that international students can stay after graduation, because compared with new immigrants, international students who graduated from their own countries can integrate into the local society faster and find jobs faster, thus reducing the social burden.
