Second, the advantages and characteristics of studying in Australia

Australia has a world-class education and training system. The education authorities have strict requirements on the educational level of domestic universities, whose courses are of considerable academic level and have won eight Nobel Prizes. There are about 40 universities in Australia, of which 38 are public universities and 2 are private universities, which are distributed in various States of Australia. Many of them rank in the top 200 in the world, and the eight famous schools are well known to the majority of international students. The University of Sydney is also known as Oxford University in the southern hemisphere.

Studying in Australia needs to meet certain English standards. With the gradual opening of visa policy, it is no longer mandatory for students to have IELTS or TOEFL scores. Except for high school students, they need to take an internal test to evaluate their English level before entering the school to determine how many weeks of English courses they need to study before entering the main course. If the test results are not satisfactory, the school will not accept it, and you still need to provide IELTS or TOEFL scores to prove your language ability.

About 2 1% universities in Australia are among the top 100 universities in the world (8 universities), and 67% are among the top 500 universities in the world. Australia has great professional flexibility. Many majors, such as accounting, translation, engineering, IT, etc. , can study, no professional background requirements. For students who want to study undergraduate, most universities accept students who have graduated from domestic high schools to study directly, and there is no need to take extra preparatory courses. At the same time, the transfer of credits is also very flexible, providing courses for undergraduates or graduate students.

Australian universities have language centers or colleges for international students. For students whose language has not met the admission requirements for the time being, they can learn the language in the language center first.

Third, the advantages and characteristics of studying in New Zealand

Eight universities in New Zealand rank among the top 500 in the world, and one of them ranks among the top 100 in the world. New Zealand's education follows the British education system, and early childhood education attaches importance to the integration of multiculturalism, while paying attention to the cultivation of basic skills and interests; Higher education emphasizes equal opportunities and has high gold content.

For primary and secondary school students, New Zealand is much more flexible than Australia. From primary school, students over the age of 5 can study in New Zealand. Parents must accompany them in primary school, and then they are not forced to accompany them. As we all know, the younger a child is, the stronger his ability to accept a language. New Zealand has a wider age limit for accepting China applicants, and the quality of education is first-class. It is the first choice for young international students to go abroad. However, students can only enter the school if they meet the requirements of studying in New Zealand.

New Zealand has stricter requirements for admission to higher education than Australia. Except for a few majors, it is best to apply for postgraduate majors in line with undergraduate majors, and some majors should start with postgraduate diploma courses. For students who plan to study for undergraduate courses, universities usually need to study for one year before they can study for the first year, while most polytechnics can study for undergraduate courses without taking credits. New Zealand does not recognize China's junior college education, so it is almost impossible for New Zealand to apply for a junior college without credits or a master's degree.

A particularly convenient policy for studying in New Zealand is that no matter what courses you take, you can not provide any language scores and will not affect the admission of students.

Go to New Zealand to have a language class first, and then take the main course. New Zealand visas are usually approved in stages. Students can get a language visa to study language courses first. As for whether the main courses to be enrolled later are in the original school or transferred to other majors, students have great flexibility.
