Which country to study in after graduation?

Which country is better to study abroad after graduation? As we all know, the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia are popular destinations for studying abroad. These countries have excellent educational resources and their own characteristics, so students will be confused when choosing destination countries. So what are the similarities and differences between these countries in terms of fees, academic system, scholarship application and obtaining work visas after graduation? Let's share which country is the best for further study.

Education system: the shortest in Britain

Postgraduate education in Britain usually lasts only one year, which is the shortest among the four countries. Of course, the academic system of some majors in the United States is only one year, but at present, more majors are mainly two years. Postgraduate courses in Australia are usually one and a half years, but students who intend to immigrate often choose two-year postgraduate courses to prepare for future immigration. In Canada, the postgraduate course is usually two years.

Tuition: Canada is the cheapest

Influenced by the exchange rate, studying abroad has become more affordable than before. But in terms of cost, there are still great differences among countries. Among these four countries, Canada is the most affordable, with the total annual expenses (including tuition and living expenses) around 6.5438+0.3 million RMB, followed by Britain, with the total annual expenses around 6.5438+0.5 million RMB, followed by Australia, with the annual tuition and living expenses usually around 6.5438+0.2-6.5438+0.5 million RMB. The tuition fees of American public universities and private universities are very different. Tuition fees in private universities are often higher, ranging from RMB 200,000 to RMB 300,000 or even higher.

Scholarship: There are more opportunities in America.

The biggest feature of American graduate research is to provide a large number of research grants (except business schools). Students pursuing master's degrees in engineering, biochemistry and computer science have the opportunity to receive many research grants. Postgraduate scholarships for international students are mainly divided into three categories: Fellowship (Scholarship for Outstanding Students) and research.

Teaching assistant research assistant

Assistant. Usually, it is difficult to get a scholarship, and the admission rate is very low. Only the best undergraduates can get it. The vast majority of graduate students in China are funded by RA or.

TA. In the other three countries, although the government and schools will provide scholarships, the places are often limited and the competition is fierce.

Learning types: teaching and research in Britain and Australia.

It is understood that there are two kinds of graduate students in Britain and Australia: teaching graduate students and research graduate students. There is no such difference between the United States and Canada. The difference between the two is that the former only adopts the teaching method, while the latter requires learners to complete a certain degree of professional research. The settings and requirements of the two courses are also completely different.

Take Australia as an example. In Australia's education system, research-based curriculum is a watershed in education and career. Those who are really suitable and willing to do research will go up, study for a doctorate and start their brilliant academic career; Students who are not suitable or have no ambition here will end their student career at this level and start another life after weighing the pros and cons.

The basic idea of research-oriented courses is to master the research methods of academic topics through one and a half years of professional research, including the publication of academic papers and the defense of graduation papers, which is extremely strict and requires readers' academic English.

At the same time, research courses can be used to identify whether students are suitable for further study and successful survival. It is understood that most students studying in these two countries choose teaching methods.

Change major: Canada is not easy to apply.

Many college students in China may not be satisfied with the majors and courses they are studying at present, but under the current system of China University, it is very difficult to change majors during their undergraduate years. For students who are interested in studying abroad, they can study another major again by studying for a master's degree abroad, which also gives them an opportunity to cultivate their interests and change their career plans.

It is understood that American business majors accept students from any major, and business majors often value not professional background, but work background. It is best to have several years of relevant work experience in applying for such disciplines. At the same time, other disciplines such as manpower, media and finance are also willing to accept students from other majors, as long as students can provide him with academic ability in this field. Generally speaking, science and engineering students have some advantages and wider choices than liberal arts students in changing majors.

However, most universities in Canada do not approve of students changing majors, and many majors require relevant academic background.

From the perspective of professional division, Britain and the United States are not the same, the United States is thicker and the United Kingdom is finer. For example, the Master of Business Teaching in Britain can be divided into several master's programs such as international business, supply chain management and exhibition management.

Most business schools in American universities only offer two-year MBA. Students study the same compulsory courses in the first year, and choose international business, supply chain, exhibition management and other directions according to their hobbies in the second year. The same is true for engineering majors. Relatively speaking, the master's programs in the United States are relatively simple, while the master's programs in Britain are very rich.

Work visa: the longest in Canada

It is understood that students from these four countries can get extended visas after graduation. In Australia, international students can get a temporary residence visa of 18 months after completing two or more courses. In Britain, starting from this year, the stay period of foreign students in Britain will be extended to two years after graduation.

The internship period of American students after graduation is generally 1 year. In this year, you can find a job and legally live in the United States. On April 4th, 2008, the US Department of Homeland Security issued a new regulation, which extended the internship period of science and engineering students from the original 12 months to 29 months (nearly two and a half years), providing great convenience for students studying in the United States. At present, this provision is limited to natural science, technology, engineering and mathematics, excluding social science, business and other disciplines.

In contrast, Canada's work visa has the longest duration. Since last year, the Immigration Department of the Canadian federal government has relaxed the work visa period for international students in Canada, extending it from one to two years to three years. When applying, you don't need to provide the employment certificate of the employer and engage in the work related to your major.
