Where to study abroad?

Before studying abroad, you should plan your major objectives according to your own interests and specialties, and you don't have to follow suit, because hot majors are often accompanied by "excess" and fierce competition, and scarce talents will be more sought after.

After determining the major, we should pursue the quality of education. Generally speaking, the quality of university education is the highest in the United States, but the high refusal rate makes it almost impossible to go to the United States for undergraduate studies. Generally, only graduates of famous universities who apply for full scholarships can get visas to study for master's and doctoral degrees. In recent years, many people have gone to study in Britain, but few of them can really be admitted to famous universities. This is because British and American countries classify China diplomas into three or six grades through evaluation, and it is more difficult for domestic non-famous universities or students with average grades to apply for first-class universities.

However, in some countries, the scientific research achievements in some fields are in the leading position in the world, but it is not difficult to study abroad. For example, France's commercial, legal, film and television media, Germany's construction, machinery manufacturing, electronic engineering, Russia's aviation, navigation, military industry, nuclear energy, optical precision machinery, Ireland's IT, biology, medicine, Swiss hotels and financial management, financial industry, etc. , enjoy a high status in the world. In Greece, South Africa and other countries, there are many branches of American universities or universities jointly organized with British universities that can obtain the same diplomas as British and American universities, or go to the headquarters of British and American universities to complete their degrees or continue their studies in the last year.

If you are interested in practical technology and want to have a good job or start your own business in the future, then French higher vocational schools and various TAFE technical colleges in Australia are the most pragmatic choices. If you are a domestic junior college or undergraduate student who has graduated for three years but has no degree, the fast degree course and "Dutch Master" of IBT University in Australia can help you get a master's degree most quickly.

Study abroad funds 1 10,000 or 1 10,000?

Studying abroad requires both "talents" and "financial resources". Roughly calculate the cost of studying abroad: the United States needs about 250,000 RMB, Britain about 700,000-200,000 RMB, Japan about 200,000-270,000 RMB, Canada about 6.5438+08 million RMB, Australia about 654.38+02-200,000 RMB, New Zealand about 30,000 RMB, and the Netherlands about 7-654.38+00 RMB.

Although the cost of studying in Britain is expensive, the undergraduate course is only three years, and the master's degree is only 1 year. Moreover, you can enjoy free national professional medical services during your study abroad, which reduces the cost of studying abroad to some extent. Germany implements free and compulsory education for all, and international students do not have to pay tuition fees. They can also enjoy half-price transportation and accommodation, free internet access and other benefits. The annual fee for international students is about 50,000 yuan. In France, general public universities only charge a registration fee of about 1 100 yuan every year, and do not charge tuition fees; In addition to the registration fee, private schools also charge tuition fees of about 70,000 ~ 654,380+050,000 yuan.

From this point of view, studying abroad for four years may cost more than 6.5438+0 million yuan, or it may only cost more than 6.5438+0 million yuan. By analyzing the "cost performance" between the academic level and the cost of studying abroad, you may feel that choosing a major or school is more worthwhile than choosing a country.

Employment prospects, immigrants or returnees?

If immigration is considered, the countries studying abroad are basically between the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. However, after "9. 1 1" in the United States, the employment opportunities of international students have been greatly reduced, and many people "graduate equals unemployment". Canada and Australia must consider immigration factors when choosing majors, otherwise it will be difficult to immigrate and get employment.

Japan's economy is not improving, and it is difficult for domestic university graduates to find jobs, especially international students. However, domestic Japanese-funded enterprises have strong demand for graduates studying in Japan. There are many foreign students studying finance and economics in Britain, but these majors are not easy to find jobs, and doctors from famous universities can only be university assistants. If they are really unsuccessful, the employment pressure of "returnees" is not small. Employment in Germany is also becoming saturated, but IT is expected that there may be a shortage of talents in IT industry, traditional electronic technology, machinery manufacturing and other industries.

In France, it is not difficult to find a job as long as you know French, and English-French bilinguals will be more popular. Russia stipulates that international students must leave the country within 1 month after graduation. If they obtain legal status first, starting their own business in Sino-Russian trade or cultural exchanges will be a hot topic in the next few years.

Foreign language specialty English or non-English?

Britain, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand are all English-speaking countries, giving priority to the convenience and friendliness of China students who start learning English in primary schools. Therefore, among the 560,000 international students in China, 520,000 are studying in English-speaking countries; However, fierce competition between education and employment is inevitable.

To study in a non-English-speaking country, you must first conquer a second foreign language. If you want to study in Germany or France, you must first pass the TestDaF exam in Germany or the TEF exam in France. To study in Japan, except for international courses taught in English in some universities, you usually go to a language school first. Recently, the entrance threshold of Japanese universities has been raised, requiring international students to have at least Grade 2 and students to have at least Grade 4 Japanese. Due to the high cost of studying in Japan and the reduction of job opportunities, Japanese study for six months to two years has also increased the economic burden to some extent. The most convenient way is to go to Russia, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Greece and Nordic countries. The entry threshold is not high and the economic burden is not heavy. Before learning the local language, you can also communicate in English.

Non-English-speaking countries are still the first choice for students who have poor English or want to master a second foreign language.
