What major should I choose to study undergraduate in Australia?

At present, the professional choices in Australia tend to be more diversified. In the original immigration system, the scores of each profession were different, so students rushed to choose some so-called popular immigration majors, such as accounting, which led to a backlog of talents and difficulties in finding jobs, not to mention many students did not like it.

The first is the choice of professional academic system. In terms of categories, the curriculum majors of Australian universities can be divided into six categories, namely liberal arts, business, law, science, engineering and medicine. The academic system of Australian universities is three years, four years, five years and six years. The academic system of most undergraduate majors is three years, including media, social science, linguistics, accounting, business administration, economics, hotel management, environmental science, natural science, computer, design and nursing. Four-year undergraduate majors include education, psychology, social work, law, engineering, measurement and pharmacy, five-year undergraduate majors include dentistry and veterinary medicine, and clinical medicine is a six-year major. Whether a graduate student can be admitted to a university depends mainly on the professional background of the undergraduate course. The general postgraduate course system is one year, one and a half years and two years. There are no special requirements for the applicant's undergraduate major to apply for a master's degree in translation, media and other arts. There are not many requirements for applying for a master's degree in business, but applying for a master's degree in business for one year generally requires the applicant to have a bachelor's degree in business, and may also require some work experience. To apply for master's programs in science and engineering and medicine, applicants are required to have the same or similar undergraduate professional background, and individual courses do not require undergraduate professional background, such as some two-year master's programs in computer science.

The second is its own advantages. Whether you can learn your major well depends largely on your own advantages. The successful completion of Australian university courses requires applicants to have strong knowledge and skills, including professional ability, English ability, mathematics ability and so on. If English ability is strong, but math ability is weak, liberal arts or law major can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses; If English and math skills are good, it is more appropriate to study business; If your English ability is average and your math ability is strong, you will have an advantage in studying computer or engineering. If students can give full play to their comparative advantages in their majors, they are likely to get better grades, and a student with excellent grades will have an advantage in finding a job after graduation.

What's more, it depends on whether you can immigrate after finishing a certain major. The way to apply for Australian immigration through studying abroad is called general skilled immigration. On June 20 12 13, the Australian Immigration Bureau published the latest list of occupations, which took effect on July12. Compared with the previous list of occupations in short supply, this list has not changed much. Popular majors such as accounting, nursing, social work, computer system analyst, engineering and architectural design are all on the occupational list. It is worth noting that actuaries are also in this latest occupational list.

Students who are good at mathematics and are willing to make a difference in actuarial science also have a bright future. At present, the majors in great demand in Australia are: electrical engineering, environmental science, marine biology, bioengineering, metallurgical manufacturing, mining management, law, teachers, service industry, medicine and health, tourism and management. Common immigrant liberal arts majors include preschool education, middle school teachers and social work. Immigrant business majors include accounting, auditing and actuarial science. The major of immigration measurement includes quantity measurement, measurement and drawing. Immigration engineering majors include chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, material engineering, mechanical engineering, mining engineering and so on. Immigration computer major includes program analysis, program development and system analysis. Immigrant architecture majors include architecture, landscape architecture and town planning. Immigration medicine majors include dentistry, nursing, occupational physiotherapy, general practitioners and veterinarians.

Then there is your interest in your chosen career. For example, when studying accounting, the corresponding occupation after graduation is accountant or auditor, and the related occupations include investment analyst, tax consultation and so on. If students can learn their favorite major, apply what they have learned and engage in their favorite career, they will be more likely to get professional satisfaction and sense of accomplishment. There are many factors that affect career interests, such as personal character, family background, academic background and so on.

For many college graduates, the problem is employment. Everyone doesn't want graduation to mean unemployment, so it is very important to find a job after graduation. From the perspective of job opportunities, for China students who have finished their undergraduate studies in Australia, if they want to work in Australia, technology-intensive occupations (such as accounting, computer, engineers and other majors) provide relatively more job opportunities. Management-intensive or communication-intensive occupations often set a high threshold in terms of cultural background and English communication ability, which makes it difficult for China students to compete with local students or other international students. Judging from the starting salary of graduates, the starting salary of engineering and computer majors is higher, while the starting salary of business and liberal arts graduates is relatively low.

The development prospect of an industry also directly affects the stability after employment. From the perspective of ownership, some courses and majors have no clear industry ownership, and accounting and computer majors are typical. After graduation, students majoring in accounting can work in an accounting firm, or in any industry or enterprise. Therefore, whether an industry is prosperous or not directly affects the employment opportunities of students majoring in this type. Some courses and majors have clear industry affiliation, such as hotel management, finance, etc. The prosperity index of the industry will directly affect the employment opportunities and stability of students in this major.

How to choose the curriculum major of Australian universities is actually a complicated decision-making process. This decision will affect the applicant's life. Only by analyzing one's own characteristics and advantages, and clarifying one's own needs, can the professional choice given be a rational choice. There is no distinction between good and bad majors, and the best major is the one that suits you.
