I am going to study abroad after my freshman and senior year. Please help me plan these four years.

If you want to study abroad after graduation, you can make preparations from the following aspects.

First choose the country of study abroad.

Which country is the most suitable for studying abroad has always been a headache for international students. When choosing which country to study in, we should not only consider our own interests and majors, but also analyze our future employment and development prospects. In addition, you need to comprehensively consider the political, economic, scientific and technological, humanities, social security, folk customs, geography, natural conditions, study abroad, immigration policies and other factors of the countries studying abroad. Personally, I think you should choose a Commonwealth country with large economic development space and wide employment in the future.

1. From the perspective of overseas employment: In the face of domestic daytime competition, pure gold plating is no longer a scenery. At present, domestic turtles have depreciated sharply, mainly because many overseas students have just studied abroad for one or two years and have no overseas work experience. Employers prefer turtles with real talents and practical knowledge. Therefore, international students should pay more attention to the issue of overseas work experience. Going to America is undoubtedly a paradise for international students. But the best opportunity means competition between the best people. Graduation of American and British students means unemployment. As an immigrant country, the Australian market is in urgent need of all kinds of talents. If the English level is good, the chances of finding a good job are great. Moreover, after studying in Australia, immigrants can enter or leave, develop and accumulate in Australia, or transfer to the United States and Britain to work and see more about the world. These are different from ordinary turtles returning from graduation.

2. As far as the quality of education is concerned, many people only know Oxford in Britain and Harvard in America, but little about Australia. Australian higher education originated from the traditional British education and was influenced by the United States. It is full of innovative spirit and has always enjoyed a high reputation in the world, especially in computer facilities and scientific and technological level. There are only 39 universities in such a big Australia, among which 12 ranks among the top 200 universities in the world 100 and 17 ranks among the top 200 universities in the world. Compared with thousands of universities in Britain and America, Australian universities are few in number but more secure. Although the United States is the first choice in terms of teaching quality, it is also the most expensive choice. Even if you study in the United States and Britain, you can enter. In my opinion, if you are a top talent and like competition, go to the United States, otherwise I suggest going to Australia.

3. As far as the cost of studying abroad is concerned, the cost of studying in Australia is moderate, which is 2/3-12 of that in Britain and America. During studying abroad, you are allowed to work 20 hours a week, with unlimited holidays, and you can basically earn living expenses.

It is particularly worth mentioning that applicants with the same learning background can apply to top schools in the world here, so studying in Australia is very cost-effective.

4. From the aspect of visa success rate: Australia has the most standardized visa application, flexible fund guarantee, wide range of guarantors, no need for interview, relatively simple and high success rate.

5. Social stability: Australia, as a developed country with a sound legal system, is the first country to incorporate the rights and interests of international students into the law. There is no discriminatory policy and local students enjoy the same treatment. Compared with other countries, Australia is a safer place. Its low crime rate and strict gun control laws can ensure that overseas students enjoy a safe study and travel environment. However, guns are the biggest hidden danger of American social security.

6. Environmental life: Australia is beautiful and quiet, with a free and relaxed natural environment and a pleasant climate. It is the best tourist destination in the world and the most suitable place to live, especially for international students to study and live. In particular, its diverse society and campus are simple, friendly and enthusiastic. It welcomes overseas students very much and pays close attention to their different requirements, providing a warm environment for overseas students to study and live freely and happily, where they can experience the great harmony of the world. Moreover, Chinese are the largest Asian in Australia, and they have a very important position in politics and economy. There is no deep-rooted universal discrimination against Chinese in Europe.

7. As far as immigration policy is concerned, Australian policy encourages immigration. International students can get a 18-month work visa directly after graduation. Most international students can immigrate to the local area for employment and development, or they can easily transfer to European and American countries for development. One of the biggest reasons for China people to emigrate is the perfect social security system. Both Australia and Canada have good welfare undertakings. There are more than 30 kinds of benefits in Australia. Government subsidies cover people's difficulties, and social welfare is as generous as the sunshine here, which shines on all beings.

8. Developed economy, sustained growth: Australia's economic growth rate in the past 10 years was faster than that of the United States, but it can also provide social benefits such as universal medical care that the United States does not have. Australia has found the best way of development-combining the vitality of American capitalism with the humanization of European welfare system, but it has not been affected by the shortcomings of both.

In short, Australia's unique culture and lifestyle, as an English-speaking country, has become an important factor to attract international students, and 65,438+00% of Hong Kong people choose Australia to study.

Secondly, preparation for studying abroad:

1. Efforts should be made to improve the average score of undergraduate courses. Generally, students who are not from 2 1 1 universities can apply for prestigious Australian universities with an average score of 80 or more. Individual universities are more demanding. From now on, study hard and try to apply for a prestigious Australian school.

2. To strengthen the cultivation of English ability, it is best for IELTS to reach 6.5 or above, so that you can read regular classes directly without reading language classes, saving time and money. However, a high IELTS score does not mean a strong English ability. You need to cultivate your practical language ability.

3. Understand some common sense of studying and living abroad, and constantly improve your ability to adapt to studying and living. Because foreign teaching methods and living habits are very different from those in China, quality education implemented in Australia has strong self-confidence and comprehensive ability since childhood. Students are good at finding and solving problems, and their independence and team ability are stronger than our country. You should exercise yourself in this respect.

4. Preparation of money, according to the current exchange rate, the deposit is about 400,000-500,000 RMB, and the deposit must have a deposit period of at least half a year, and the money should be deposited in advance.

The application procedure for studying abroad again is roughly divided into two steps.

1. Apply for the school. Use your undergraduate grades to apply for a school. Popular majors in famous Australian universities need to apply for insurance one year in advance. After you finish your junior year, you will start preparing to apply for the school.

To apply for a visa, you can get an IELTS score before the visa, with a minimum score of 5.0. The delivery time depends on your start time.

I will briefly introduce so much for your reference only. You are only a freshman, so you have time to think and prepare. After all, it is a major event in life, and we should learn from various channels.
