Analysis of common problems of students studying abroad and their parents

Faced with studying abroad, many students and parents have the idea that if they can get into their ideal school, they don't have to study abroad; If you fail, you might as well study abroad. In fact, from the idea of studying abroad to being finally admitted to a foreign school, too many details were ignored. To this end, I summed up the common questions of my classmates and parents, and asked overseas experts to answer them and help them plan their study abroad better.

1

Q: How to choose a country to study abroad?

A: Different countries, even different regions of the same country, have different cultural values, customs, climate and environment, and there are many differences in education system, teaching methods, overseas students' study policies, visas and so on. Students can comprehensively measure from the following aspects:

The first is the cultural atmosphere. Generally speaking, the United States is a country that advocates freedom and enthusiasm, suitable for extroverted and creative students; Britain, France, Italy and other countries continue the noble and elegant tradition of nobility, which is suitable for aspiring people to become? Gentleman and lady? Students;

Second, the form of education, length of schooling, curriculum and teaching methods are also important indicators. For example, the undergraduate education in Britain only takes three years, and the master's degree only takes one year. Shorter academic system saves money for students. The American education system is very suitable for students who advocate freedom and are full of personality;

Third, the study abroad policy is favorable. Students and parents can pay close attention to all kinds of study abroad policies and exchange rate changes. Judging from the cost of studying abroad, in many small European countries, the annual tuition and living expenses do not exceed RMB 65,438+million, and public schools even waive tuition fees.

Q: Does it take time to study abroad after finishing college in China?

A: It won't waste time to study abroad after I finish my freshman year in China. For example, the undergraduate education system in Britain, Australia and the Netherlands is three years, one year less than that in China. After finishing freshman year in China, you can directly start three years of undergraduate study, and you can also graduate at the same time with your classmates who are studying in universities in China, without wasting time.

It should be reminded that the path of studying abroad will be very different when applying for different countries. Different overseas institutions have different requirements for language achievement. Even if the same application scheme is adopted, the schools that are finally admitted will be different and cannot be generalized.

three

Q: Parents have never experienced their children's life abroad, and there are fewer and fewer topics?

A: Children are studying abroad, but it is suggested that domestic parents should also know about the life of overseas schools, the situation of children in host families, major overseas festivals and customs, famous scenic spots and the situation of international students. With this knowledge as the background, parents can stimulate many topics of their children and make them feel warm when talking overseas. Because even if they are thousands of miles away from their parents, parents are so attentive to their children's overseas situation, and children can always feel their parents' care and have more confidence in their usual study and life.

four

Q: How can children supervise their lives when they study abroad?

A: To let children study abroad, they must learn to be independent. Too much help and supervision may slow down their adaptation process. Worried parents can help their children develop good work and rest and study habits before they go abroad, and teach them to make their own work and rest schedules, including when to get up, eat and do homework, so as to cultivate their self-discipline ability. In addition, parents can also help their children choose a middle school with strict management, and can clearly arrange students' work and rest, including eating at 6 o'clock every day and doing some free activities before 7 o'clock in the evening; Arrange evening self-study from 7: 00 to 9: 30, and arrange students' study and life with a clear timetable.

Q: I don't have much money to study abroad. What are the options for saving money?

A: For families with a relatively limited budget for studying abroad, they can choose European tuition-free public universities. Many countries in continental Europe, such as France, Germany, Italy and Finland, offer tuition-free education. Students who apply for public universities in these countries do not need to pay tuition fees, but only need to pay a registration fee of several hundred euros every year, while the living expenses in Europe are about 60,000-70,000 yuan/year. Most courses in France, Germany and Italy need to be taught in corresponding small languages. Students entering specialized courses must reach the level of minority languages above B 1; However, some universities are gradually offering English courses. In addition to the above four tuition-free countries, students can also consider Hungary, Poland and other minority countries studying in Europe. The tuition fees in Hungary and Poland are about 30,000 ~ 40,000 RMB/year, and the living standards are relatively low.

Q: Which country is better for children to immigrate smoothly after studying abroad?

A: Canada, Australia and New Zealand are popular countries for studying abroad. In Canada, students can get a three-year work visa after completing two to three years of academic courses, and they can apply for a maple leaf card after accumulating one year of full-time work experience in the process. Students studying in Australia and New Zealand can get a local green card and become permanent residents as long as they get a work visa, accumulate corresponding work experience and complete more than two years of undergraduate courses. In addition, the United States also welcomes outstanding talents to stay in the local employment and development after studying abroad. Students studying in the United States can apply for a 12 month internship visa before graduation, and use this time to find a job. In the United States, accounting is also very beneficial to immigrants. As long as you get a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) in North America, it is equivalent to a green card in sight.
