Which country is the most suitable for undergraduate study in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia?

As to which country in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Australia is suitable for undergraduate study abroad, we will compare it through the following aspects:

1. University quality

The above information is ACCCIM University The number comes from the Internet, and the ranking information is extracted from the latest "World University Rankings" released by "U.S. News and World Report"

From the table above, we can see that the quality of American universities is the most outstanding. Not only does it account for nearly half of the top 200 and top 100 universities in the world, but the number of universities in the top 50 and top 10 is far ahead. Secondly, with its long history of higher education development, the UK also has many universities among the best. Canada has many colleges, so the total number of schools will be more, but the number of top universities is basically the same as Australia. I added China at the end mainly to give you a more complete comparison. In recent years, Chinese universities have developed very rapidly.

Not only Tsinghua University and Peking University have entered the top 100 in the world, but they are also ranked among the top 100 universities in the world. 64th and 65th, and the University of Science and Technology of China, Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Zhejiang University and Nanjing University have all been shortlisted for the top 200 universities in the world. However, due to the development history of our university is still relatively short, it is currently compared with the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. There are still some gaps between countries such as Australia and Australia, but I believe that in the future, the quality of Chinese universities will become better and better, and more universities will be able to enter the list of the world's top universities.

2. Cost of studying abroad

The above information is an estimate based on information provided by a sample of 3,266 international students. Some figures may not fully correspond to specific schools and cities and are for reference only.

After seeing the high-quality teaching resources of American universities, many parents couldn't help but be moved, but after seeing the fee table, many parents also began to consider it comprehensively. Indeed, the quality of American universities is very high, but they are expensive. This also confirms the Chinese saying that "you get what you pay for." Of course, the table is just an average cost, which is a combination of the average cost of private universities and public universities, and there is also a big gap in cost between the east and west coasts and the central region. In addition, American universities also provide generous scholarships. The final total cost may not be so high, but in order to create a better learning life for their children, parents are recommended to prepare for their children according to the standard of 1.6 million. The annual price in the UK and Australia will be slightly more expensive, and the cost in London, UK is 30% higher than the cost in non-London. However, since most of the academic systems are only 3 years, and the postgraduate degree is only 1 year, the total cost will still be Slightly less. Although the annual cost in Canada is slightly lower, because undergraduate studies require 4 years, the total cost is still relatively high. If you stay in Canada in the future, for the same job, the salary in Canada is basically 60% of the salary in the United States. You can also consider this aspect comprehensively.

3. Difficulty of staying and working in the local area after graduation

Note: The following difficulty is a subjective measurement based on personal experience and national policies. It only represents my personal opinion. Five-star is the most difficult. Comments from peers are welcome. .

1. United States: Four Stars

For international students who have graduated from American universities, the U.S. government will provide these students with an OPT work permit, which is called Optional Practical

Training (selective practical training). The OPT time for ordinary majors is 12 months, while STEM majors (Science, Technology,

Engineering, Mathematics) can apply for 31 months (if approved by Congress, it can be up to 48 months)

Months of time). During the OPT period, international students can successfully find jobs in their majors and have a buffer period to accumulate work experience. Even if they do not stay in the United States later, this work experience will be very competitive when looking for jobs in China. After that, graduates can also obtain a formal work visa H1b through a lottery and continue to legally stay in the United States to work. The probability of winning this lottery is directly proportional to the salary offered by the employer. The higher the salary, the stronger the proven ability and the easier it is to stay. Generally speaking, the probability of winning the lottery for undergraduates is 30%, but graduates studying STEM majors will have a better chance. High because students studying these majors generally earn higher salaries.

2. United Kingdom: Five Stars

In April 2011, the United Kingdom canceled the PSW visa (Post Study

Work), making it very difficult to find a job in the United Kingdom. If you want to get a long-term work visa, international students must find a job with an annual salary of more than 20,000 pounds, and a visa of the corresponding length will be issued based on the guarantee in the letter of guarantee issued by the employer. Overall, the vast majority of students who graduate in the UK need to return home to find jobs.

3. Canada: Samsung

After graduating from a Canadian university, students will be eligible to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Visa (Post-Graduation Work

Permit), with a maximum period of You can apply for a work permit for up to three years, and this work experience can also be used for immigration applications.

4. Australia: Samsung

In 2012, the Australian Immigration Bureau opened a work permit to all international students, allowing students to stay in Australia for 2 years to find a job after completing their bachelor's degree. This visa does not mean that you will be given a job directly, but that you can have 2 years to find a job.

From the three dimensions of university quality, study abroad fees and difficulty of staying and working there after graduation, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia all have their own advantages. Parents can determine the purpose of studying abroad based on their children’s situation. country. But in the future, when you go abroad to study for an undergraduate degree, it is very important to choose a high school.
