In recent years, the number of students holding self-taught diplomas or college diplomas has been increasing. With the severe employment situation and increasingly fierce social competition, more self-taught students and college students began to look abroad for further study. At present, China's self-taught examination and junior college diploma have been recognized by many countries and schools, including the United States, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Australia, Malaysia and more than 20 popular countries for studying abroad, all of which recognize the self-taught examination and junior college diploma issued by the Ministry of Education of China. This recognition includes mutual recognition of academic qualifications and credits, so there are still many countries and majors that these people can choose to study abroad, but their application is more difficult than that of ordinary undergraduates. In addition, the majors of college students and self-taught candidates studying abroad are generally continuous with the original majors, otherwise they will start studying in the first year of undergraduate course. Compared with self-taught exams and college degrees, students from night universities, TV universities and correspondence schools have a more tortuous and difficult road to go abroad. Because for this diploma, the recognition of foreign universities is very low. So how far are these five types of "special" graduates from studying abroad, and where should they go? Self-taught candidates: getting a degree is the key. Self-taught candidates want to apply for a master's degree abroad, and getting a degree is the key. If you get a bachelor's degree but no degree, you still have to start studying in some countries. Compared with college students, it is more difficult for self-taught candidates to apply for a master's degree. Generally speaking, when a school examines students, it first looks at TOEFL or IELTS scores, followed by the majors it has studied. If you study engineering or science, you have to take GRE. If you study business, you must take the GMAT. College students: There are two ways to study abroad. For college students, there are two ways to study abroad, namely "college-upgraded undergraduate course" and "college-upgraded undergraduate course". One way of "upgrading from college to undergraduate" is to transfer classes directly. After calculating the improved credits, college students directly transfer to foreign schools to continue their original sophomore or junior courses; Another way is to break through the limitations of previous majors and re-select your favorite majors from the first year of undergraduate studies in foreign universities. "Specialist Master" is divided into "pre-preparatory course" or "direct master". "Pre-matriculation" requires students to take a six-month to one-year master's matriculation course, then learn the language, and then get a master's degree. There is no requirement for students' English ability. Another kind of "direct master's degree" means that students directly enroll in master's courses on the premise of professional counterparts. Present situation of studying abroad: it is difficult to apply in the United States. In theory, all universities in the United States recognize China's self-taught exam and other related academic qualifications, but in fact, because there is no form of self-taught exam in the United States, many schools will think that it is risky to admit such students. Compared with undergraduate courses, there are fewer self-taught courses. American colleges and universities will require transcripts when enrolling students, but the transcripts of self-taught courses generally only have subjects and scores, so they need to go to the education department to issue certificates when applying. However, some schools can accept China's self-taught examination and college education. Such as Santa Monica College, Ohio University, San Francisco State University, St. John's University, etc. However, China students must obtain degrees and diplomas before they can successfully apply. In addition, the graduates of TV University and Night University are not well recognized, so if they go to the United States, they can only continue their undergraduate studies. Some universities in Canada accept self-taught candidates and junior college students from Canada. Generally, the qualifications of night universities, TV universities and correspondence courses are rarely recognized. Only some schools are willing to accept self-taught candidates and junior college students from China. Some private colleges similar to the domestic "ordinary undergraduate" level will be willing to accept self-taught students and junior college students from China. It is difficult for such students to apply to a prestigious school in Canada. As for the transfer to undergraduate courses, some schools can transfer credits, but generally only a few credits can be transferred, and the recognition is relatively low. And some schools can't transfer credits. Britain can apply for universities with lower rankings. Britain is one of the few countries to study abroad, and its policy clearly states that it can accept college students to study for graduate students, so it is very popular with college students. British universities recognize the qualifications of graduates from self-taught examinations, junior colleges, night universities, TV universities and correspondence courses, but relatively speaking, there are many students with good backgrounds in good British schools who can apply, so graduates from self-taught examinations are less competitive and have lower admission opportunities. For those universities ranked after 70, such as Hertfordshire University, Midas University and so on. Graduates from self-study, junior college, night university, TV university and correspondence school can be well recognized. If the applicant does not get a degree certificate, he can go to the master's preparatory course for one year, which generally requires IELTS score of 5.5 or above; If the applicant has 3-5 years of work experience and the IELTS score is above 6.5, he can go directly to study for a master's degree. These schools generally require applicants to pass the exam. The current situation in Japan and Singapore is unfavorable. At present, the study abroad policies in Japan and Singapore are not very favorable to graduates from self-taught examinations, junior colleges, night universities, TV universities and correspondence courses. For the students who graduated from self-taught examinations and adult education in China, more and more Japanese universities began to recognize their college or undergraduate degrees. However, Japanese universities require students to have 65,438+06 years of educational experience or obtain a bachelor's degree. Because there is no limit on the number of years of self-taught examination in China, applicants can't prove their years of education, which is difficult to operate in practice. Singapore's public schools generally don't recognize China's self-taught examination and adult education, while some private schools do, and they can also accept junior college students to take master's courses. However, the Ministry of Education of China does not recognize the diplomas of Singaporean private schools. Most universities in Australia recognize degrees. Almost all universities in Australia, including famous universities, recognize five types of students' academic degrees: self-taught students, junior college students, evening students, TV university students and correspondence students. Only a few well-known universities do not accept these five types of students' applications because of the large number of applicants. If you get a bachelor's degree, you can apply for master's courses in most schools in Australia. Russia and Ukraine can apply for first-class universities. Both Russia and Ukraine accept China's self-taught exams and students from night universities, TV universities and correspondence schools, and recognize China's academic qualifications. Such students go to the national universities of these two countries to study, no different from other students. China's degree is recognized by all universities and majors in Russia and Ukraine, including first-class universities in both countries, such as Moscow University and St. Petersburg University in Russia, Kiev State University and Kharkov State University in Ukraine. However, it is worth noting that because there is no university education system in Russia, the curriculum structure is quite different from that in China. Nowadays, it is more difficult for college students in China to apply for transfer to universities than in the past.
