Which major has a higher employment rate after graduation?

The rapid development of China has attracted more and more well-known enterprises and groups from all over the world to invest in China. For these foreign companies, international bilingual talents who can help enterprises quickly enter the China market and seize the opportunities are in great demand. There are even national-level international cooperation, such as Suzhou Industrial Park, Chongqing Industrial Park and Xinchuan Industrial Park, not to mention Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, which have already entered the international forefront, and even Chengdu, which is developing rapidly now. Working in a global enterprise in the future, with the background of studying abroad and the influence of international education, will become an indispensable growth experience and competitive advantage for students to return to China for employment development. Of course, after finishing their studies in Singapore and Australia, more China students will first choose to practice and work in foreign companies. In this process, their ideas will also change, and most students choose to work abroad-immigration.

About major choice

How to choose a major? Most overseas students want to get more international education and master international experience and skills, so when choosing a major, they naturally need to choose those majors that domestic universities can't meet the demand, such as Bachelor of Business Administration, Master of Business Administration and Master of International Trade.

Business courses in foreign universities are based on international culture, combining marketing strategies, human resources, basic financial knowledge, basic financial knowledge, network information technology and other majors that support tourism. A discipline is no longer a single discipline, but takes management as the center and assists all relevant knowledge. Such a curriculum can ensure that students can meet the needs of their jobs after graduation or meet the requirements of academic standards when studying for a master's degree.

Most overseas universities require students to practice for half a year before graduation. Textbooks are closely integrated with practice. When applying for graduation thesis in the last year, I believe that most students have a high understanding of the textbooks they have learned, and they can completely put themselves into practical operation instead of leaving school to work, but they feel that what they have learned is useless and completely divorced from reality.

In addition, how to choose a major, you can't just look at the high salary in a certain field and have no interest in the major. As a result of choosing a major in this way, students will study with the mentality of completing the task and will not be able to make a breakthrough in what they have learned.

So it is more important to choose a major that you like and an industry that you are willing to fight for!

What is the university curriculum under the Commonwealth education model?

Among modern western countries, Britain has one of the oldest education systems. Generally speaking, British education reflects the authenticity of English education. Education in traditional Commonwealth countries or regions, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc., has been influenced by the British education system, and even Singapore's education model has been optimized on the basis of the British education system and is still in use today.

In the history of Commonwealth education development, the core difference between public schools and private schools is whether the government provides full funding. The name of a public school is a public school. These schools are fully funded by the government, students' tuition fees are reduced, and full scholarships are given when they enter the school. The name of private schools is private/independent schools, because these schools are not fully funded by the government, and the students enrolled are mainly self-funded schools. Only when students graduate with excellent grades can they get scholarships. From the academic level, the overall education level of private schools will not be lower than that of public schools. On the contrary, it is superior to public schools in some professional research.

Bachelor's degree in Commonwealth University (undergraduate):

Some arts, business or science subjects apply for master's degree directly with undergraduate GPA (average credit grade point) after graduation.

A three-year bachelor's degree in Commonwealth countries is equivalent to a four-year bachelor's degree in a domestic university in China. After studying abroad, China's education certification is also a bachelor's degree.

For parents to choose Commonwealth universities, they must make rational choices according to their academic performance and ability. At the same time, students' English ability must be considered.

The main criterion for admission to British universities is A level(A level). However, due to the difference in academic system, China high school graduates cannot directly enroll in bachelor's degree courses in British universities. International students applying for British universities need to have a certain level of English and A-level. British universities generally accept IELTS scores. Ordinary universities require IELTS 6.0 or above. Famous universities are more demanding. Some majors also have higher requirements for English.

At present, China students are more likely to apply for undergraduate courses in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and other countries.

Simple things are repeated, and repeated things are done with heart; For thirteen years, I have been focusing on studying in Singapore and the course supervision in the later period of studying abroad.

Cost of studying abroad: tuition+living expenses (total cost of undergraduate course for 3 years+total cost of master's degree for 2 years)

I hope parents can listen to their children's real thoughts when they help them choose a major. After all, reading is still a child's own business. Parents can help their children check and make suggestions according to their own social experience. When choosing a study abroad program, we should also choose the best way to study abroad according to children's actual situation, independent living ability, study habits, family economic strength and other factors.
