Compare the education systems of Britain and Australia.

There are also many similarities and inclusiveness between the two in the education system.

educational system

(1) undergraduate course:

Undergraduate education is most valued abroad. Whether looking for a job or applying for a doctorate, what others value most is the first degree (that is, undergraduate). If you get good grades during your undergraduate course, it will be very helpful in the future. Unlike China, Australia and Britain generally have a three-year undergraduate course (four years for an Australian engineering undergraduate course), and degrees are graded according to their grades.

In Britain, the three-year undergraduate course includes teaching and graduation thesis, and the final grade evaluation is based on the usual teaching score plus thesis score. The best degree is a first-class honours bachelor (1ST honours, generally above 70%), followed by 2. 1 (second), then 2.2 (second) and third (third). Basically, the requirement for finding a job or continuing to study for a doctorate in the UK is to obtain a degree of 2. 1 or above.

In Australia, ordinary three-year undergraduate students have no grades, and graduation thesis is generally not required. As long as the grades are passed and the credits are enough, you can get a degree. Those who get good grades will get a diploma. But a three-year undergraduate course can add an honorary year. This year, I will spend half my time in class and half my time writing papers. After graduation, you will be graded according to your grades and papers. The rating is the same as that in Britain. This year is not dispensable. Students with good grades are invited by the school to study this year (usually with scholarships). You don't need to study for another year to find a job, and you don't need to go to Australia to study as a teaching graduate. As long as you have a good three-year undergraduate course, you can enter the school directly.

(2) Teaching graduate students: studying abroad.

In Britain, the graduate students taught are generally one-year MSC and MA degrees, usually starting with 10. Three semesters a year. This course includes lectures and papers. To get this degree, you must pass both parts at the same time. In teaching, you can choose what you like from many courses. Some of these courses may be taught with undergraduates, but the test difficulty will still be different. The requirements of graduate students will be higher than those of undergraduates, so the test difficulty is relatively higher than that of undergraduates. As for the thesis, it usually takes about three months to finish at the beginning of last semester. Teaching in the first two semesters, and writing papers in the last semester. In the process of writing a thesis, I have to collect a lot of information or do some research, so I can say that I will have some research experience in the process of writing a thesis, which I think is very beneficial.

Teaching graduate students in Australia are generally 1 year and a half to 2 years, and each school is different. Most teaching methods in Australia do not need to complete a thesis. In other words, as long as you complete the courses you teach and get credits, you can graduate. The Australian 1 academic year is divided into two semesters, with two admissions in February and July each year. There are 8 specialized courses and 8 compulsory courses every year. A year is 48 credits.

model of instruction

In China, you generally need to complete the final exam and pass it before you can pass the course. But in Australia and Britain, in addition to completing the final exam of a course, you must also complete your usual homework and laboratory. When I was an undergraduate, I knew some people who failed a course directly because they didn't take the final exam because of their poor grades. But in fact, this is also the advantage of the Australian-British education model. There is not only a combination of theory (teaching+tutoring) and experiment, but also homework that forces you to do it. So temporary surprise attacks are not common in Australia and Britain.

Job opportunities

In the UK, most MSC graduates can apply for overstaying to find a job in the UK. If a company accepts it, the company will help you apply for a work visa, so that you can stay in the UK and work for the company for a long time. In Britain, the average annual salary starts at about 25,000 a year, and there are more than 40,000 better investment banks, which are even higher according to different positions.

In Australia, ordinary companies rarely help you apply for a work visa. Instead, they will require Australian resident status (PR or citizen) to apply for jobs in their company. As we all know, it is relatively easy to apply for immigration in Australia, so studying in Australia is basically to apply for immigration first and then find a job. The average starting salary in Australia is about 40,000 Australian dollars, and the better one can be 60,000 or even 80,000.

tuition

Australian undergraduate courses range from 1.5 to 25,000 Australian dollars per year, which is equivalent to 1 10,000 to 1.5 million per year when converted into RMB. The living expenses stipulated by the embassy are 18000 Australian dollars per year, which is 1 10000 yuan when converted into RMB.

The British undergraduate course is 0.9 to 65438+200,000 pounds, which is 9 to 65438+200,000 yuan when converted into RMB. The cost of living in London 10000, which is 8,000 a year for non-London. Converted into RMB, it is 8,000 to 65,438+million RMB per year.

Britain and Australia (Australia, New Zealand) belong to the Commonwealth system, which has profound cultural and historical origins, and there are many similarities and inclusiveness in the education system. In terms of basic education and higher education, both Britain and Australia emphasize guided teaching and pay attention to the cultivation of students' practical ability. Faced with the same world-renowned Australian education and British education, many students often hesitate when choosing to study abroad.

Comprehensive education level

Experts believe that Britain is an old-fashioned education power in the world, and its deep-rooted education system has a deep foundation. The comprehensive teaching strength ranks second in the world except the United States, and Britain accounts for more than 30 of the top 200 universities in the world, especially postgraduate education. The one-year tight academic system has attracted many students from all over the world. Although the overall education level in Australia is not as good as that in Britain, the top universities in Australia, such as the "Eight Five-Star Universities" in Australia and the University of Auckland in New Zealand, have world-class education quality, and these Australian universities have their own specialties. Therefore, students should follow the principle of specialty-oriented and school-oriented, choose the university that suits their learning goals according to their actual situation, and don't stick to the country too much.

Teaching characteristics of colleges and universities

As British universities surpass Australia in quantity and quality as a whole, students have a wider choice to study in the UK to receive high-quality professional education, especially some traditional British majors, such as finance, management, media and electronic communication. Of course, foreign service experts also pointed out that although the number of Australian universities is not comparable to that of Britain, the quality of education in top universities is also recognized by the world. They are in a strong position in some occupations, such as accounting, medicine, and some emerging occupations.

Study abroad expenses and visa difficulty

It is reported that the British consumer index has been leading the world, so both tuition and living expenses are higher than those of Australia. Taking undergraduate courses as an example, the total cost in the UK is 200,000-250,000 RMB, while in Australia it is only 1.5-0.2 million RMB, and in New Zealand it is even lower, only1.5 million RMB. In terms of visas, both officials are very supportive of the export of domestic educational resources and spare no effort to guide international students to study in their own countries. In particular, Australia introduced an electronic visa system, which greatly accelerated the visa approval process. Generally speaking, as long as the applicant meets the visa requirements, the probability of rejection is relatively low.

Future development space

Many students often consider their personal development after graduation when choosing a destination for studying abroad. It should be said that the development-oriented concept of studying abroad is also reasonable. Compared with the two, Britain is not a traditional immigration area and implements a stricter immigration policy. But this year, in order to attract international students, the British government has launched the "International Postgraduate Program", which stipulates that overseas students can stay in the UK for one year to find a job and continue to live in the UK after one year. Australia is a traditional immigrant area, and the policy is to encourage high-quality talents and rich people to apply for immigration. Therefore, after graduating from Australian universities, students have more room for career development and even immigrate directly.

Summary:

The above is the comparison between studying in Britain and studying in Australia. In fact, whether in Britain or Australia, the most important thing is to choose your favorite environment and country according to your own needs. Don't give up your favorite schools and cities because of the so-called ranking or the so-called difference between "Britain" and "Australia". Don't fantasize about how much glory the reputation of the school you graduated from can bring. There is no best country or school, but what suits you is the best.
