What should I do after getting the Con-Offer?

Many students were ecstatic after getting the offer. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Con-Offer. Many people started to panic and didn't know what to do next.

In fact, generally speaking, there are two solutions:

1. Take IELTS! Since you can't meet the admission requirements, you can only risk your life to improve your scores.

2. Take a language class! The emergence of language classes provides students with a new way to enroll, so they are accepted by the majority of students.

However, not only is it hard to get an offer now, sometimes even language classes become very popular. If you are too late, you may miss out on the language class. Why not hurry up and take a look with me at Lisichen Study Abroad 360 What are the application requirements for Australian master's language courses?

Requirements for language courses

Based on the IELTS scores submitted by students or the on-campus language test, the school will allocate students to the corresponding language cycle in accordance with the main course entrance requirements.

The immigration law stipulates that the maximum visa duration for Level 1-2 categories is 60 weeks, and the visa duration for Level 3-4 categories is 40 weeks. However, most applicants’ language courses at Australian universities are generally 10 weeks- 30 weeks.

For example: The undergraduate IELTS requirement you are applying for is a total score of 6.5, with no less than 6 in a single subject

A. Generally, schools will allocate students with four 6-point scores if they pass the exam. 10 weeks of language learning

B. If the student gets a score of 6 in the exam, but has a score below 6 in a single subject, the general language learning cycle is 10 to 15 weeks

C. If the student gets a score of 6 in the exam 5.5 points, some schools will allocate 20 weeks of language. (Subject to the school's regulations)

Teaching time is generally 20 hours of classroom teaching and 15 hours of independent study per week

Advantages and Disadvantages of Reading Language Courses

Advantages

1. Classes are taught in English with experienced teachers who can improve listening and speaking skills and understand Australian culture.

2. Flexible choice. If IELTS temporarily fails to meet the requirements for direct admission to the main course, 10 weeks of language learning can definitely help you reduce a lot of academic pressure.

3. Time transition. When you first arrive in Australia, in addition to adapting to school, you also have to adapt to life in Australia. Compared with the main course, 10 weeks of language learning has less pressure and more space for activities. Students can not only learn the language, but also Better adapt to life here.

4. In addition to English, the language school also provides skills training for preparatory, undergraduate, and postgraduate students. It provides students with some note-taking, paper training, how to use the library, how to write essays, etc., to strengthen basic abilities.

Disadvantages

1. The charges are relatively expensive. The cost of a week of language is about 370-470 Australian dollars, while the IELTS test is 330 Australian dollars, so economically speaking, instead of studying the language for 10 weeks, it is better to try IELTS again.

2. It is easy to "get together". Most of the general language classes are international students who have just arrived in Australia. There are also Chinese students among them. Students who are new to Australia must like to stay with Chinese people. It is understandable. , although you can make friends, your language progress may be slower.

You need to consider the following factors when deciding whether to read a language

First of all, your English level is the first determining factor. Although I have not passed the exam, if after training for a period of time, if I can meet the requirements for direct entry into the main course in three exams, then don't consider reading language.

Secondly, one’s own adaptability. The time of language learning is actually a period of adapting to Australia. It is a time to understand the Australian education system and education methods. If you feel that you need a period of time to adapt before the main course, there is no harm in studying the language for 10 weeks.

Then economic factors also need to be taken into consideration. Although the tuition fee of about 400 Australian dollars per week is relatively expensive, if the investment in this language continues and the subsequent main courses can be successfully passed and even get high scores, then the effect of this language course can be demonstrated. After all, the annual tuition fee is 3 -Around 40,000 Australian dollars, the cost of failing your exam is far greater than this.
