What are the advantages and disadvantages of studying in Britain and studying in the United States?

America has many advantages.

1. As the country with the largest number of colleges and universities in the world, the United States has more than 3,500 colleges and universities, ranking first in higher education in the world. In the latest QS20 19 ranking of world universities, four universities in the top five are from the United States, 1 1 universities in the top 20 are from the United States, and 48 universities in the top 200 list are from the United States. The educational level and resources of American universities are among the highest in the world.

2. American courses have high gold content and long cycle. Compared with the one-year master's program in Britain, most American masters need one and a half to two years. Students can have more time to adapt to local culture and courses.

3. American employment policy. As an immigrant country, it is keen to attract international talents. This means that it is not particularly difficult for China students to find jobs in the United States after graduation. Moreover, most majors in the United States are now included in the STEM category and enjoy three years of OPT after graduation. So generally speaking, there are still many employment opportunities and resources for international students. At the same time, because there are many well-known colleges and universities in the United States, American college graduates will be more recognized in China if they return to work.

The shortcomings of American schools.

1. It is too difficult to apply. Compared with Britain and Australia, the steps of evaluating applicants in American schools are very strict and complicated. GPA, GRE, language, documents, resume, internship background, etc. Business majors also need interviews. Therefore, the overall application is more difficult.

2. Do not provide conditional admission: Most schools in the United States do not provide preparatory courses, especially top schools, so the language requirements for applicants are higher.

3. The cost is high, and the general tuition fee is about 300,000/year. Tuition in public universities averages around $39,000. The tuition fees of private universities are generally between $38,000 and $50,000, and the tuition fees of top private universities such as Harvard University, Columbia University and University of Chicago will exceed $50,000.

Advantages of British schools.

1. Provide a conditional offer and pay enough preparation time: if your English score is not up to standard or you have no language score, you can still apply normally, as long as you submit your language score or apply for a language class in July of the year of enrollment.

2. Lower cost: Because the course in Britain is only one year, the cost is lower.

The shortcomings of British schools.

1. Although the official emphasizes that the master's course is one year, except holidays, the class time is actually only nine months. It is conceivable that all the courses will be completed within 9 months, and the study pressure is still relatively high.

2. Card-school gradient: Top schools or popular majors in the UK will have a background of 985 or 2 1 1. Every year, many applicants are rejected because of their undergraduate background, and the standards for students from double-non-universities in Britain will be stricter.

3. Employment policy: Although Britain promulgated the PSW two-year public contract last year, the overall employment situation is still unknown. Moreover, the master's degree system is only one year, and it is almost impossible to find an internship in the middle, which means that students will start preparing and applying for next year's work from September of that year.
