The current situation in the UK.

I am an international student, so I can only talk about it from the perspective of studying abroad! !

Many people say that the UK has lost its appeal to students who plan to study abroad. In fact, this statement may not be comprehensive. Everything has its two sides, because I decided to study in the UK. , so I saw several main shortcomings, and also saw many advantages.

I would like to use a metaphor from the Medical University. (Originally it was a national university, but it was downgraded to a provincial university because it did not enter the 212 Project)

The Medical University was a national university before. Everyone hopes to come here to study medicine. One is because of the quality of its teaching. One is because how much can be left to the affiliated hospital and allocated.

I think today’s medical universities are competing for students just like other schools. One reason is that they are not included in the 212, and the other reason is that there is no so-called allocation.

The UK is slowly becoming a bit like a medical university.

When the UK’s study abroad market was just opened, maybe the UK was not fully prepared to face a large number of overseas students, at least they were. Some underestimate the entry of Chinese students. Therefore, colleges and universities that can recruit overseas students, or schools where overseas students enroll, are very good, including Oxford and Cambridge. This also gives people the impression that overall, after graduation, British international students The quality is very high and the employment prospects are indeed good. Many of them have been absorbed by the British.

However, with the rise of the study abroad craze, the influx of a large number of overseas students, especially students from Asia and China, has brought many reactions.

First of all, most foreign countries have begun to enter the elderly society. The overall social pressure is very high, and the base of the new population has dropped, making enrollment difficult and a lot of educational resources wasted. Therefore, it can be said that a large number of overseas Students really help a lot of universities stay afloat. This has caused foreign universities to more or less change their views on education and regard education as an industry. It can be said that it is like medical universities being reduced from the original national capital to the provincial capital.

Secondly, although the large number of overseas students has led to the rapid development of education industrialization, and many emerging universities have even purchased land to build school buildings, it is inevitable that the admission requirements have declined and the quality of teaching has declined. , coupled with local employment selection rules, more and more Chinese students can't find a way out in the UK, so they naturally leave after graduation, and the term kelp appears. This is a bit like how medical universities now only enroll students but do not assign students.

But even so, there are still many Chinese students coming to the UK every year. The main reason is that the UK’s long educational experience and the world’s most valuable diplomas attract everyone.

Everything has a cyclical principle, and things must be reversed when they reach their extreme.

After a few years of silent industrialization of education in the UK, something suddenly happened. People who used to make money inadvertently looked up and discovered many new things.

For Chinese students, Australia, a country with a better climate, friendly people, and cheaper consumption, can spend about 700,000 yuan to apply for immigration.

Some European countries actually offer free university education.

Recently, the United States and Canada have relaxed their study abroad and immigration policies.

Britain is no longer the only country in the world.

As far as countries like Australia are concerned, for Chinese students, if the cost of immigrating to the UK is at most a master's degree, if they immigrate and then come to the UK to study, they will enjoy the treatment of local students. The UK certainly doesn't want this to happen too often, so it must change.

Free education in some European countries has indeed attracted many children from low- and middle-income families. It is not possible to make it free in the UK. It is possible to open more schools at different levels to change the diversification of fees. Therefore, it strongly supports overseas enrollment in various local qualified schools.

The relative openness of the United States and Canada has attracted the children of some classes that have long been exclusive to Britain. There must be some appropriate adjustments in place in the UK for all forms of residence.

Britain’s study abroad policy, the UK’s policies for overseas students in the country have changed.

Lawyers, economists, doctors, accountants, senior teachers, etc. A group of middle-to-high-income families with fixed jobs and stable incomes have become the favorites of the British Embassy for visas today.

After two changes in recent years, the policy change that provides all bachelor’s degree graduates with one-year internship opportunities also sends a signal to all students who like the UK. The UK will have more policies to support overseas students and attract overseas students.

Therefore, starting from the status quo of fully becoming a medical university, the overall situation of studying abroad in the UK has changed, and we are emerging at this time.
