I don't know which country to study in.

There is no absolute answer to this question. We can simply analyze the study abroad situation in the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada and other major countries in combination with different study abroad purposes and career development plans, so as to provide reference for students and parents to make the final choice.

Studying abroad is definitely not just about getting a diploma. The worship of foreign academic qualifications has died out or will soon die out, but has turned to the cultivation and acquisition of real foreign language ability, learning ability, research ability, thinking ability and work ability. This is an era of comprehensive school selection. Compared with the fierce "school choice" in China, studying abroad is just like choosing a school. Choosing a school and studying abroad in China are essentially the continuation of choosing a school. Everyone is willing to choose the best route and destination.

What aspects should be considered when choosing a country to study abroad? To sum up, the most direct expectations of students and parents are nothing more than several aspects:

First, go to school;

Second, pursue high-quality education;

Third, the pursuit of satisfactory work, that is, to obtain competitive employability;

Fourth, immigration; Maybe there are others.

Combined with the above expectations, the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada and other countries have their own advantages in studying abroad. These are four countries whose mother tongue is English. The advantages of language itself, together with world-class education quality, social environment and relatively scientific institutional arrangements, have attracted about 70% of students studying abroad at their own expense in China.

How about studying in America?

The United States has both the cheapest higher education and the most expensive higher education in the world. The United States has the largest higher education system in the world, with about 4,000 regular colleges and universities, ranging from community colleges with low entry threshold and low cost, to liberal arts colleges with high teacher-student ratio and exquisite scale, pursuing elite quality education, to large public four-year universities and research universities with high scientific research strength, which can basically meet the various needs of students. Moreover, the United States is a melting pot of immigrants, and excellent international students have the opportunity to display their talents in the United States. However, with the number of applicants to study in the United States increasing by about 20% year by year, more and more outstanding students go to study in the United States, and the competition for admission, employment and even immigration will soon appear.

How about studying in England?

Britain is the largest inflow country of international students in Europe, and the scale of international students is second only to that of the United States. The quality of education in Britain is also the top level in the world, and a large number of first-class scientists, artists and applied talents have been trained. 20 1 1 The number of China students studying in the UK has maintained an upward trend compared with the previous year, and the UK has issued more than 50,000 visas to China students. Although Britain is not a traditional immigrant country, it still has an open policy in attracting high-quality talents. Moreover, British education has inherited the rigorous and fine tradition and has a good reputation. Its high school A-level test results are recognized by universities all over the world, including the United States. Its three-year undergraduate and one-year master's programs save time and money for international students. It can be said that British education is both traditional and modern, paying attention to academic research and applied innovation, and the cost is not as expensive as many people understand, even very cost-effective, so it has been welcomed by many students.

How about studying in Australia?

For more than 20 years, Australia, located in the southern hemisphere, has been an important destination for China students to study abroad, with more than 30,000 China students studying in Australia every year. Australian education mainly absorbs and draws lessons from the advantages of British education, and has made some adjustments and improvements in combination with the needs of Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, and has also won world reputation. Among the top 200 universities in the world, there are nearly 10 universities in Australia, which is not easy in terms of the scale of 38 public universities in Australia. Australian universities implement a relatively open and flexible admission policy. For example, the University of Sydney, headed by others, recognized China's college entrance examination results, which provided convenience for China students to study in Australia. Compared with the United States, Australia has a more perfect international education quality assurance and protection mechanism for the rights and interests of international students. Moreover, Australia is also one of the largest immigrant inflow countries, close to the Asia-Pacific region, and is an ideal country for China students to study abroad.

As a neighbor of Australia, New Zealand has almost the same educational system as Australia, and its immigration policy is relatively loose. New Zealand's study fees and admission requirements are slightly lower than Australia's. So studying in New Zealand is also a good choice.

How about studying in Canada?

Canada has the title of "the most suitable country for human beings to live in", and its geographical advantages adjacent to the United States, rich natural resources and relatively sparse population, perfect social welfare system and relatively loose immigration policy are the key considerations for China students to study abroad. In the last three years, Canada has changed its previous very strict admission policy and visa policy, and introduced preferential measures one after another, including the SPP program. The growth of China students studying in Canada is rapid. But some parents and students may have a misunderstanding: if you can't go to America, consider Canada. Actually, it may not be as simple as you think. Because Canadian universities are basically public, the funds are mainly allocated by the government, and the number of universities is relatively small. Domestic students and new immigrants in Canada also have a strong demand for university education, so it is very difficult to apply for Canadian universities, especially prestigious schools.

Perhaps many students don't look at the United States, Britain, Australia and Canada, but look forward to France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands in continental Europe, and even take Japan, South Korea, Singapore and China and Hong Kong in Asia as their study destinations. These countries and regions also have their own advantages.
