Do you choose a college or a university to study in Canada?

In recent years, more and more students choose to study in Canada. Schools in Canada can be divided into colleges and universities. So, which one do you choose to study in Canada? Yes, I'll take you to the introduction!

1. Do you choose a college or a university to study in Canada?

Academic and professional

Canadian universities tend to be academic. In college, you may do a lot of experiments, investigations, writing papers, etc. , so as to get a bachelor's degree, and then you can continue to study for graduate school, PhD and so on.

The college pays more attention to practical education, and the training direction is employment. Of course, I will also give you certificates and diplomas. But it is not absolute, because universities also have practical education, and colleges also have theoretical learning parts, but the focus of the two is different.

Long school system and short school system

The university is mainly academic and research, with a bachelor's degree of 3 years, an honorary bachelor's degree of 4 years, a master's degree of 1-2 years and a doctor's degree of 4-6 years.

The college aims at employment training, and there are three modes of certificate and diploma: certificate system 1 year, diploma system for 2-3 years and undergraduate course for 3-4 years.

High tuition VS low tuition

The average tuition of Canadian universities is between1500-250 million Canadian dollars, and the average tuition of graduate students is between1800-300 million Canadian dollars. The tuition fees of Canadian institutions are relatively low, and the cost is about 9000- 18000 Canadian dollars/academic year. However, there will also be cases where the tuition fees of popular majors in colleges and universities are higher than those of unpopular majors in universities.

Stay in Canada VS return to China.

If you want to stay in Canada and plan to immigrate, the college is a good choice, because you can apply for a three-year work visa after completing a full-time diploma course in Canada for 2-3 years. As long as students can find jobs within these three years and work continuously for more than 65,438+0 years or know French, they can realize experienced Canadian immigration.

The most important thing is that the salary of college graduates is not necessarily lower than that of college graduates, especially in the case of talent shortage, the immigration opportunities will be greatly increased.

However, for many domestic compatriots, junior college and junior college are basically the same concept, which makes it difficult for many domestic enterprises to find jobs even after learning professional academic and technical support.

Second, the entry requirements of Canadian institutions

China students applying to Canadian public colleges usually apply for the following three types of courses:

1, 2- 3-year specialized courses: technical secondary school or high school graduates are required to have an average score of over 70, IELTS 6 or TOEFL 80. If students don't have qualified language scores, they can get double admission, study the language first, and then study professional courses after the language is qualified.

2. Four-year undergraduate course: graduation from high school is required, with an average score of 75 or above, IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 80 or above. If students don't have qualified language scores, they can get double admission, study the language first, and then study professional courses after the language is qualified.

3. 65438+2002 Postgraduate Certificate 3 Course: It requires three years' college graduation or four years' undergraduate graduation, with IELTS score above 6.5 or TOEFL score above 80. If students don't have qualified language scores, they can get double admission, study the language first, and then study professional courses after the language is qualified.

Third, the advantages of Canadian study abroad colleges

1, short time

Most of the junior college courses offered by Canadian colleges are two-year courses, and a few are three-year courses. Postgraduate diploma courses are divided into one-year or two-year courses. This is much shorter than the academic system of a university. Not only can you save time, but you can also save a lot of money and get a job early.

2, the cost is low

Short academic system is a factor to save the cost of studying abroad. In addition, the tuition fees of colleges are generally lower than those of universities. Some students with ordinary family conditions have excellent grades, but they still choose to go to university instead of university, because going to university can save a lot of money than going to university, and universities offer more paid internship programs, so that students can earn a sum of money.

3. The application threshold is low.

The application threshold is lower than that of universities. Compared with many universities, which explicitly require more than 80 points, the requirements of colleges are indeed lower, but students should not think that they can get in no matter how bad their academic performance is. Many colleges and universities require students to pass, that is, 60 points, but those excellent majors offered by better colleges still require more than 70 points to enter. Students, don't take it lightly!

4. Strong practicability and high employment rate.

Universities pay attention to theoretical knowledge and academic research, while colleges pay more attention to cultivating students' practical professional skills, making it easier for students to find jobs. The employment rate of Canadian institutions can reach more than 90%, and some majors can reach 100%. The curriculum of the college is close to the needs of the society, and many colleges have close cooperation with enterprises. After graduation, students can directly work in cooperative enterprises.

There are many paid internship opportunities.

Many majors in the college have Co-op courses to provide students with paid internship opportunities. Students who major in Co-op courses can practice in the company during their studies, and they can get paid. There is also a great chance to stay in the internship company after graduation.

6. You can transfer credits and enter the university.

The vast majority of public colleges and universities will have cooperative relations with one or several universities, and they will also recognize each other's credits in their professional settings. If students can't apply for a university, they can apply for a cooperative college first, and enter the university by transferring credits two years later. This can also save some expenses!
