Australian universities have a high degree of recognition of Chinese college entrance examination results. Of the eight universities in Australia, only Melbourne University does not accept the Chinese college entrance examination results, and the other seven Australian universities all recognize the Chinese college entrance examination results.

Different majors have different requirements for college entrance examination scores in China. Generally, there must be at least one score above the college entrance examination level, and IELTS requires at least 6 or 5 points.

2. Enroll in the basic courses of connecting universities.

If students want to enter a prestigious school, but the results of the college entrance examination can not meet the admission requirements, they can also consider the preparatory course of the university.

In addition, students who have finished Grade Two in China or Grade 1 1 in Australia can also apply for matriculation directly without taking the college entrance examination.

For the crowd: High school students in key urban areas have completed at least Grade Two, with an average score of over 70. If the average IELTS score is 5, 5-6, students can enter the preparatory course directly.

3. Studying in a university (diploma) with a shortcut course.

Due to various factors, students' college entrance examination scores (whether in China or Australia) may not be ideal, and they can't meet the admission requirements for entering freshmen directly. At this time, you can save the country by entering the shortcut course offered by the university.

Compared with freshmen, the entrance requirements of express course are more relaxed, and the course design takes care of international students, so that international students can adapt to the teaching environment of Australian universities as soon as possible, so that they can successfully enter their sophomore year after graduation and finally get an undergraduate degree.

Suitable for the crowd: China high school graduates, with an average score of over 70. With an average IELTS score of 6, you can directly enter the accelerated diploma course.

4. Enter the TAFE course first, and then enter the university.

The full name of TAFE is technology and continuing education, and Chinese is higher vocational and technical education, which is equivalent to middle school/junior college courses in high school.

High school students can transfer to TAFE College after completing 1 1 grade, and domestic senior three graduates can also directly apply for studying in TAFE Australia.

Suitable for the crowd: Senior two students are studying or graduating from high school (or secondary school or vocational school). The English requirements of vocational and technical colleges are relatively low, and the average IELTS score of 5 or 5 can be directly enrolled;

Application conditions:

Provide high school diploma, high school report card and language scores (IELTS or TOEFL), which can be retaken after pre-admission to the school. At the same time, schools can arrange language courses before TAFE courses according to their language scores.

Second, the advantages of studying in Australia

1, business class

Business majors in Australia include accounting, finance, marketing, management, economics, etc. Many Australian universities are in the leading position in the world, which has also become the reason why Australian business has become a hot major.

There are a wide range of business majors in Australia, including all kinds of majors. The textbooks used in Australia are changed every two years, keeping up with social development and constantly supplementing new content, which makes the knowledge learned by students closely integrated with the modern economic situation and provides very good conditions for students' employment development.

2. Education

Education is a popular major at home and abroad, and Australia is a country that attaches great importance to education, so the demand for teachers is very high, and teachers' salaries are very good.

Teachers are one of the occupations in short supply in Australia, and they are also Australian immigrants. It is characterized by strong stability, good welfare and many holidays. It is a highly respected post. Moreover, the purpose of Australian education courses is to train students to become excellent teachers, who can engage in the teaching industry in the future and have the opportunity to apply to become registered teachers in Australia.

3, nursing class

Australia is a vast country with a small population and a serious aging, and there is a great demand for medical staff. Nursing is one of the most cost-effective occupations in Australia. It is not only an Australian immigration major, but also a major in short supply in Australia. It is very easy for nurses in Australia to find jobs. As long as they have the qualification of registered nurses in Australia, they can engage in the nursing industry all over the world.

Third, the Australian undergraduate study matters

1. Make clear your advantages and graduate from your chosen major smoothly.

The successful completion of undergraduate courses in Australian universities requires students to have strong knowledge and skills, including professional ability, English ability, mathematics ability and so on. If English ability is strong, but math ability is weak, liberal arts or law major can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses; If English ability and math ability are average or good, it will be more appropriate to study business major; If you have average English ability and strong math ability, you will have an advantage in studying computer or engineering.

2. The major meets the requirements of skilled immigrants.

The way of studying abroad first and then applying for Australia is called skilled migration of Australian students. There are 192 occupations in the list of new skilled occupations (general skilled immigrants) published by the Australian Immigration Bureau. Among these occupations, there are nine categories of immigration majors.

3, career planning, interested in the selected major.

Whether you are interested in the corresponding or related occupations of a major is the key factor in choosing a major. For example, students majoring in accounting are accountants or auditors after graduation, and their related occupations include investment analysts and tax consultants. If students can study their favorite major and engage in their favorite career, they will be more likely to get professional satisfaction and sense of accomplishment. There are many factors that affect career interests, such as personal character, family background, academic background and so on. If students are not sure about their career interests, they can try online career interest assessment tools.

4, career prospects, looking for a job after graduation

From the perspective of job opportunities, for China students who have finished their undergraduate studies in Australia, if they want to work in Australia, technology-intensive occupations (such as accountants, engineers and computer professionals) provide relatively more job opportunities; Management-intensive or communication-intensive occupations often set a high threshold in terms of cultural background and English communication ability, which makes it difficult for China students to compete with local students or other international students. Judging from the starting salary of graduates, the starting salary of engineering and computer majors is higher.
