Is studying in Australia really that bad?

Australian universities have been attracting many foreign students from China with their long history, rigorous educational ideas and innovative educational methods. One-year master program is favored by students. The master's program in Australian universities is not only limited to the characteristics of short academic system, compact curriculum, strong professional pertinence and real combination of theory and practice, but also has the following four advantages, which are worth knowing for students who want to study in Australia.

Advantage 1: Wide choice of majors.

According to Australian statistics, there are hundreds of thousands of different majors and courses in Australia. The biggest advantage of studying in Australia is that you can choose your major in combination with your future career development. Business major has always been the first choice for many international students studying in Britain. Accounting major has become a popular traditional major because of its high employment rate. Many members of ACCA (International Certified Public Accountants) have the opportunity to work in the world's four major accounting firms. In Australia, many overseas students from China have found jobs related to accounting because they studied this major, and the salary is not thin.

Since 2000, Australia has gradually shifted its development focus from heavy industry and light industry to new energy and electronic engineering, and the traditional engineering talent market has gradually shrunk. In 2005, the Australian government found that there was a shortage of engineering talents, so it introduced many new policies to retain international engineering talents, from which we can see Australia's thirst for engineering talents. For international students in China, studying undergraduate or master's engineering courses will have a great chance to find a job. Advantage 2: A shortcut to major changes.

At present, due to the lack of necessary career planning guidance in senior high school in China, many students do not find that they do not like their major until they enter the university, but it is not so easy to change majors. Although there is no hard and fast regulation on professional background in China, the competition for postgraduate entrance examination is fierce, which is cruel to students of this major, and even more difficult for students of other majors. Studying in Australia is a shortcut to major change. Australia's master's degree program has many majors for students who want to change majors, and also provides a large number of pre-master courses, which is very suitable for students who want to change majors through studying abroad. Students majoring in humanities or science and engineering can switch to a wide range of majors, including business, engineering, journalism, mass media and so on. Some majors even accept students who directly transfer to majors, such as IT, finance and international business.

Advantage 3: high cost performance

The educational system is short, the cost is reasonable, and the curriculum and teaching content are focused. Specialized courses and the latest professional knowledge or research results are core courses and compulsory courses, with compact teaching arrangements and no waste of time, so they are favored by international students in China. The Australian master's program is generally 1-2 years (no holidays). For graduate students, most of them are teaching or teaching with research. The courses are all professional courses, and no courses unrelated to the major are arranged.

In this way, a lot of youth time is saved for international students, so that young and promising students can leave school as soon as possible, make more contributions to society and save money for their parents.

The annual tuition and living expenses of the Australian master's program are about 200,000-250,000 RMB (generally 300,000 RMB in London). Obtaining a master's degree from an Australian university with high recognition in the world at such a cost makes Australia known as "one of the most cost-effective countries for studying abroad".

Advantage 4: The major studied is closely combined with practice.

In Australia, many inventions or advanced theories and technologies are produced on the campus of Australian universities. Teachers' teaching goal is to cultivate students' creativity and independent thinking ability. Advanced management experience and scientific experimental equipment provide students with sufficient practice and hands-on opportunities. In Australian universities and research institutes, the spirit of scientific inquiry and academic atmosphere provide a good environment for students to climb the peak of science, think independently and innovate. Most students can "get started" independently at work after graduation, and many excellent students can start their own businesses before leaving school.

In order not to let the high-quality master's courses of famous Australian universities miss us, and to make your application in a favorable position in the competition, "preparing early" is the magic weapon for success. Pre-preparation: understand the admission conditions of Australian universities, understand the curriculum, and understand the application process and material preparation.
