Why did I choose to study abroad?

Going abroad is undoubtedly a life experience, which you can't experience all the time in China. Going abroad is not only to learn knowledge and technology, but also a basic channel to understand and integrate into western society. Things beyond study are extremely important for students to form a complete outlook on life, world outlook and values. Information in modern society is very developed. You may think that you can know everything about developed countries through the media and the internet, and you can completely imagine how you live overseas. But this kind of imagination is absolutely different from real life abroad. Breathing fresh air and experiencing humanistic care will be an experience that China can't imitate and taste. It's like watching love stories in countless TV series. However, only when you have really experienced love can you appreciate the excitement and helplessness.

Second, language.

Needless to say this. Learning English in China may lead to high scores in some exams (including IELTS and TOEFL). ), but the ability to use language is more difficult to improve in the domestic environment. Of course, it stands to reason that if you are overseas, you should have full communication with local teachers, classmates and society, instead of spending all day with your classmates at home.

Third, the opportunity to study in world-renowned schools.

Recently, Shanghai Jiaotong University has a ranking of the top 500 universities in the world. You can find it on the website of Jiaotong University. Take Australia as an example. The Australian National University ranks 53rd and the University of Melbourne ranks 82nd. Tsinghua University ranked 20 1-250, and Fudan university ranked 30 1-350. Peking University Press once published a world famous school guide, which listed famous schools in various countries. For example, the United States lists Harvard, MIT, Stanford and so on. Britain lists Oxford and Cambridge, and Australia lists Australia and Melbourne. Unfortunately, there is nothing about schools in China in the book. It seems that the author thinks that no university in China can be called a world famous university. So going abroad also provides such an opportunity, an opportunity to study in a world famous school.

Fourth, the opportunity to choose a major

This has two meanings. First, foreign universities offer a wide range of majors, many of which are still blank in China, or domestic and other majors are not generally recognized abroad, typically including clinical medicine and law. If you want to practice abroad, in that case, you can only choose to go abroad to get a degree. Second, when applying for graduate students in China, most of them still require the same professional background, while studying for a master's degree overseas is more flexible, and it is more convenient to change majors without academic examinations. For example, English majors can apply for accounting, education, media and even it majors-this is probably impossible in China.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) resource utilization and reading efficiency

By global standards, teaching resources in China are still scarce. Even if universities expand their enrollment again and again, it will take a long time for teachers and teaching equipment to keep up. The rich teaching resources abroad can just be used by me. Developed countries are more advanced than domestic ones in terms of educational methods, concepts and teaching equipment. If conditions permit, of course, we should study abroad. Another advantage is time. We know that the standard study time in domestic universities is four years for undergraduate students and three years for master students, while in Australia, Britain, New Zealand and other countries, it only takes three years for undergraduate students and one year for master students, which greatly reduces the opportunity cost of studying abroad, because you can start your career three years earlier than your domestic peers!

Because of the short reading time, some people doubt the quality of teaching. This is basically unnecessary worry. It is obvious that foreign teaching methods are more effective than domestic ones, and the intensity of general study is quite large, while domestic universities are strict in entry and exit. When many people come to consult, they must be in a "mixed" day. One reason is that they are "easy to mix". As far as the international prestige of a university is concerned, it is precisely the quality of teaching and scientific research, not the length of the academic system, that makes a prestigious school a famous one.

Sixth, the dream of changing the status quo.

There are many such people who already have very good jobs in China, just like working in the four major accounting firms, HSBC, Microsoft, Internet, Hewlett-Packard, Siemens and other well-known enterprises, but they are eager for a beyond career development. Even if they earn a lot of money, due to the competitive pressure within the company, they realize that to maintain lasting competitiveness, they need to keep charging and learning; Or they have reached a certain position and find it difficult to break through (the "glass ceiling" in the workplace). This is the right time to choose to go abroad for further study. There are still some people who want to change the status quo, but they are not satisfied with their current jobs. It is also feasible to obtain relevant overseas degrees by studying abroad and then transfer to your favorite industry.

7. Opportunities for Immigration and Foreign Development Many people want to emigrate and develop abroad in the future. Studying abroad to get an overseas degree is undoubtedly an excellent springboard. Take Australia as an example, it is extremely beneficial to international students educated in Australia in terms of the scoring standard of skilled immigrants. In addition, it is also important to have a local degree certificate when developing abroad, because the degree in China is generally difficult to be recognized by local companies or multinational enterprises.
