How to choose the major of studying in Australia?

The majors of Australian universities are generally divided into three categories:

1, social humanities, we call it "liberal arts" for short;

2, natural science, referred to as "science";

3. And modern emerging business disciplines, referred to as "business".

Strictly speaking, "business" evolved from some applied sciences between "liberal arts" and "science". However, due to the popularity in recent years, China students read a lot, so it is necessary to take it out as an independent subject.

Professional introduction:

Social humanities is like a vast ocean, which can be subdivided into more than 30 different majors, such as language study, drama, archaeology, history, culture, economy, film, philosophy, music, politics, religion, media, education and law. And a series of derivative disciplines such as design, visual arts and performing arts can also be extended.

"liberal arts" is like a huge soil, on which colorful and diverse "discipline" fruits can grow. Corresponding to it is natural science, which has developed a series of practical disciplines in modern times, such as engineering, medicine, health science, pharmacy, agriculture, environment, computer and so on. And each discipline can be subdivided into dozens of professional directions. For example, there are more than 20 engineering majors under the engineering discipline. In recent years, "business" has become hot.

In Australia, business can be subdivided into eight directions: management, international trade, marketing, commerce, accounting, finance, economics and actuarial science. The first four disciplines can be said to be "liberal arts" and the last four disciplines are "science".

Several methods of selecting professional reference;

1. Analyze and choose according to your actual learning situation.

If science is good, you can choose courses in the direction of science majors such as computer and health science; You can also choose the direction of engineering major. If you are good at English and weak in mathematics and physics, you can choose liberal arts majors such as media, public relations and education. If such children have no ideas, they can also choose business.

2. Choose according to the purpose of studying abroad.

Australia is an immigrant country, and international students have the opportunity to achieve the goal of immigration through "skilled migration" after completing their studies. If parents want their children to stay in Australia in the future and obtain identity, they should plan as early as possible and choose immigration majors for their children. There are hundreds of occupations on the immigration list of the Immigration Bureau, and there are many corresponding majors. So how to distinguish them?

To sum up, most immigration majors are related to science (such as computer major, engineering major and medical major in natural science disciplines; Actuarial and accounting in business); In the course of social humanities, except for the two majors of law and education, other majors basically exclude immigrants.

How to choose a school for studying in Australia?

1. Know the location and geographical environment of each school, determine the district you want to go to, and then determine the school you want to study in this district.

2. Fully understand the scores of Australian universities accepting domestic college entrance examination results.

The score line standard fluctuates, but it is generally one or two undergraduate courses in various provinces in China. Individual schools and majors have some special requirements. Here are a few examples:

Australian National University: NMET score requirements: NMET score is above one local line, and IELTS score is good. Different majors have different scores, and the minimum score should reach 70% of the local full score.

University of Sydney: Requirements for college entrance examination scores: Different provinces have different requirements for admission scores, which are generally above the local scores (with the higher scores of arts and sciences as the reference, the total score is 750).

New South Wales: NMET score requirements: generally 80%-88% of the local NMET score. The admission scores of different colleges are different.

University of Queensland: college entrance examination score requirements: local admission score is more than one point. Different majors have different college entrance examination scores.

Monash University: College entrance examination score requirements: you can apply for all majors of the school (except the law degree and the honorary degree of the dean) if you reach a higher local score; You can apply for some majors if you reach a lower score.

University of Adelaide: College entrance examination scores are divided into low scores. RMIT: Requirements for college entrance examination results: Take Beijing as an example, 750 points, and the direct admission score for undergraduate course is 44 1, 454,467,480 or the average score for senior three is above 70-85%.

All universities in Australia, including the "top eight universities", offer preparatory courses. Students who have not participated in the national college entrance examination or have poor results in the college entrance examination can apply for the preparatory course.

3. Graduation rate.

A considerable number of students are desperately trying to "reach" the top universities in Australia, such as the Eight Universities in Australia, although some schools are beyond his ability. In this way, even if he enters eight universities in Australia, he may have to transfer or even drop out because he can't bear the huge study pressure or difficult academic courses. The basic goal of studying in Australia is to get a university degree certificate, so you must do what you can when choosing an Australian university.

4. Teacher-student ratio.

The teacher-student ratio is an important index to evaluate an Australian university. A higher teacher-student ratio helps Australian students get more attention from teachers. Most well-known universities in Australia have a high teacher-student ratio, but some schools have higher expectations for professors' scientific research results, which will lead to fewer hours for professors to teach. Nevertheless, the teacher-student ratio is still an important indicator that we need to pay attention to when choosing schools. In addition, the class size of freshmen and the number of large classes are also worthy of attention.

5. Internship and research opportunities.

Internship opportunities will become very important when you enter your junior or senior year or your last year as a graduate student. A good internship can exercise you, make you better adapt to your future work, and also add points to your resume.

6. Scholarships.

For the average family, a scholarship will lighten your family's burden. Many Australian universities have scholarship policies for international students.

7. Academic guidance services.

Each school has its own academic guidance service. It is not surprising that when you first enter an Australian university, you are likely to be entangled in course selection and can't understand the teaching materials. Everyone will have similar experiences. When choosing a school, you need to know whether there is a writing guidance center in the school, whether there are barrier-free teaching assistants in the classroom, whether there is a fixed time for professors to ask questions, and whether there is a unified review class before the college entrance examination.

8. If you consider "immigration", you need to consider the area where the school is located when choosing a school.

In the immigration score, a very important 5-point plus item is remote areas. Choosing areas with extra points for immigration can also increase future immigration opportunities, including Adelaide, Tasmania and Geelong, the main campus of Deakin University in South Australia. These areas not only have low cost of studying abroad and superior language environment, but also have higher immigration opportunities in the future.
