A comparison between American and Australian graduate students

Studying abroad is good under the situation of American economic crisis

Although the United States has suffered from the economic crisis, it has a positive impact on studying abroad. On the one hand, the visa policy of the embassy tends to be relaxed, hoping to attract more international students to study in the United States and promote the recovery of the domestic economy through foreign investment. On the other hand, the depreciation of the US dollar has reduced the total cost and expenses of China students studying in the United States.

Schools in the United States, if described as 100, can find the corresponding schools from 20 to 100. So the United States is more diverse, and most of the needs can be found in the United States.

If international students are interested in doing research, then the United States is the first choice. There are more than 4,000 public and private colleges and universities in the United States, with relatively developed science and technology, such as finance, MBA, management, electronic technology and biochemistry. In addition, the United States is the country with the largest investment in scientific research funds in the world. Its public universities are funded by the state government to establish various laboratories and research equipment, while private universities are donated by the school board and alumni. Many private universities will invest most of their income in scientific research. And the scholarship system in America. It can be said that American universities are the richest. So students who want to do research can choose American schools.

Australia has a lower threshold and it is easier to realize the dream of studying abroad.

Australia is the most flexible of these English speaking countries. First, you can only choose to study English in Australia. For example, some people have been working for several years, and their work is very tense. They want to improve their English. No matter high school graduates or college students, academic background is generally not required in Australia. As long as they want to apply for language courses in Australia, as long as the language courses are recognized by the Australian Department, they can get visas.

Another feature is that Australia's immigrant education system is very diverse, which provides corresponding channels for China students with various backgrounds. Therefore, students of any educational level in China can find channels to study in Australia, such as technical secondary school graduates, vocational high school graduates and junior college students. It is more troublesome for these people to study in the United States, because the United States does not recognize vocational education and it is difficult to apply for some good schools. Australia uses TAFE to attract secondary and higher vocational students. TAFE is 65.438 billion yuan a year, including tuition and living expenses. Applicants only need an IELTS score of 5.5. If IELTS is not 5.5 or even 5, TAFE4.5 can also go. For some older applicants, Australia is a country that can easily realize the dream of studying abroad.

Of course, Australia is also good in academic and scientific research, but there are not so many choices in this area as in the United States. China students have always been more willing to choose because of the professional settings linked to Australian immigrants.

But it is worth mentioning that in Australian universities, some "international classes" for China students account for 70%~80%. If parents consider studying abroad for an experience or for a higher degree, Australia is not suitable. Because all students speak Chinese after class. Besides, cities like Sydney and Melbourne have many Chinese, and they are similar to China in other aspects except the climate. There are also many Chinese restaurants and supermarkets in China, but if you are an immigrant, these are all advantages.
