202 1 what are the new requirements and changes in the application for studying abroad?

Nowadays, many countries studying abroad are changing and adjusting their educational models, with various new requirements and regulations. Now let's go and see what changes have taken place in several countries studying abroad.

First, the United States will cancel the SAT subject test and composition test.

65438+1October 2 1 day, the official WeChat account of the American University Council announced that the SAT subject will be stopped in the United States from now on, and the registered candidates' exams will be automatically cancelled and refunded. International students outside the United States can take the last two SAT exams held in May and June of 20021. In the future, more flexible SAT tests will be developed.

In response to this decision, the American College Board said in a statement that the coverage of AP test has been very extensive, which means that SAT subject test is no longer a necessary condition for students to show their knowledge. AP provides students with various opportunities, and students can demonstrate their knowledge and skills by taking AP courses at university level in high schools. Universities are eager to see students gain hands-on learning ability and practical work experience through AP courses such as principles of computer science.

In addition, after June 202 1, the SAT composition will no longer be held. The American College Board said in a statement that students can demonstrate their writing ability in other ways, and writing ability is still an important indicator for further studies.

Second, Australia's "Global Education Integration Curriculum" cooperation project was launched.

Recently, the launching ceremony of "New Zealand Global Education Linkage Course" sponsored by New Zealand Education International Promotion Agency (ENZ) and co-organized by Northern University Association (NCUK) was held at the New Zealand Embassy in China. It is reported that the New Zealand Bureau of International Promotion and Education has reached an agreement with eight universities in New Zealand to enable China students to start their study abroad in New Zealand from China, and these schools will also provide more than NZ $300,000 in scholarship support every year.

This cooperation is provided by the British Northern University Association in more than 30 learning centers in China. Students who successfully pass the 1 year undergraduate preparatory course, international freshman course or master's preparatory course in one of the learning centers, except for special subjects, can be guaranteed to be admitted to New Zealand universities, and can go to New Zealand at an appropriate time to continue their study in New Zealand as freshmen, sophomores or graduate students. Project enrollment will begin in March 20021year.

It is noteworthy that on June 65438+ 10/4, the Ministry of Education of New Zealand announced that it would provide visa-free entry for 1000 international students studying for bachelor's degree or above in New Zealand, allowing them to return to New Zealand to continue their studies in stages from April 20021year.

This visa exemption is another measure after the earlier announcement of providing visa exemption for 250 doctoral and master students.

Third, the UK student visa policy update

For foreign students who have just entered a British university, if they are graduate students who just entered or will enter in June 2002 1 year, and face global travel restrictions, they can start distance learning first. As long as you arrive in the UK before September 27th, 20021year and finish your last semester in the UK, you are still eligible to apply for a postgraduate work visa.

It is worth noting that international students enrolled in September 2020 1 year still need to enter the UK before April 6, 20021year and complete their last semester in the UK before they are eligible to apply for a postgraduate work visa. For those students who graduated more than 1 year and did not graduate in 20021year, even if the whole academic year needs to be completed remotely in 2020-202 1 year, it will not affect their eligibility to apply for a postgraduate work visa.

In addition, the Ministry of the Interior has further updated the guidelines for applying for an alternative visa after the 90-day entry visa expires. Applicants who have obtained a 90-day entry visa can fill in the online form and make an appointment with the relevant visa center to apply for a substitute visa if their travel visa has expired or is about to expire due to epidemic restrictions.

Fourth, why do you want to study abroad?

1, find a good job

In order to find a decent job in the highly competitive job market in China, students can only pursue foreign universities with good reputation, high ranking and broad employment prospects.

Domestic friends are most concerned about ranking when applying for foreign schools! Some people say: ranking is very important in China; Still ranking determines everything!

Let's talk about why people love ranking so much, mainly because the competition for graduates in the domestic job market is particularly strong. China students feel that ranking is the guarantee to ensure that their degrees have higher gold content and more advantages in the competition.

Step 2 apply for immigration

Compared with investment immigrants, study abroad immigrants are undoubtedly cheaper. They can not only get diplomas from local universities, but also apply for more types of immigrants after graduation.

If you have a local master's degree, it will definitely help you get your identity. Not only can you get higher points when applying for federal skilled immigration, but you can also unlock some provincial nomination projects (provincial immigration plans) and increase the success rate of immigration.

At the same time, China students hope to gain different learning experiences, improve their intercultural communication ability, meet different ways of thinking, and learn the world's top business operation mode and technological innovation, all of which are the reasons for studying abroad.
