Does the tightening of immigration policy have an impact on studying in Australia?

Not long ago, Australia announced a new skilled migration policy. TAFE vocational courses (mainly beauty, hairdressing, West Point production, etc. ), which has been hot for a long time, has disappeared from the list of skilled immigrants. This means that the TAFE course has closed the convenient passage for studying abroad and immigration, which has caused great repercussions in the study abroad market for a time. Li Wei, senior consultant of Kai Tak Education for studying in Australia, recently told reporters that reducing the number of TAFE students will be beneficial for outstanding students to study in Australia, and the gold content of studying in Australia is expected to increase.

According to reports, the ultimate goal of most students studying in Australia is immigration. In the past, TAFE vocational education courses can easily realize study abroad and immigration, which is unfair to undergraduates and master students who study abroad through regular channels, and even the strange phenomenon of reading TAFE courses backwards has appeared.

The influx of a large number of low-level international students has also attracted the attention of famous Australian schools. At the end of last year, eight famous universities in Australia began to raise their requirements. For example, the business major of the University of Melbourne requires that the average score of non-21/engineering students reach 90 points, and the average score of 2 1 1 engineering students reach 85 points. In terms of English proficiency, in addition to IELTS required in the past, GMAT is also required.

Li Wei said that it is foreseeable that the number of students who immigrate through shortcuts will be controlled, and more places will be reserved for outstanding students. After the quality of students is improved, the gold content of studying in Australia is expected to increase, and it will be more competitive even if you return to China in the future.

"Of the students I received studying in Australia, 80% used to study business and 80% studied accounting. Blindly following the trend will inevitably lead to excessive competition. " Li Wei said that in fact, agricultural economics, veterinary medicine, civil engineering, nutrition, petroleum engineering, wine brewing and other majors are also in short supply, and applying for immigration can also get extra points, but China students rarely apply.
