The choice of schools and majors should be based on students' own personality, interests, learning background (high school arts or undergraduate), language foundation, future career planning and other factors, and of course, combined with the characteristics of the city, including the language environment, employment environment, learning atmosphere and so on.
It should be noted that different schools and majors have different entrance requirements. For example, the master of business courses in five-star universities in Australia require a higher average undergraduate score, and the requirements for 2 1 1 and non-21/universities are different. Some courses in the School of Health Sciences have quota restrictions every year, and the application period is relatively long; Some schools have strict requirements on materials when hearing applications for exemption from credits; Some high-end courses need to provide auxiliary materials such as work experience and resume. So study more and prepare more.
Second: language preparation
To determine the major of a good school, you need to prepare for the IELTS test according to the corresponding language requirements. Generally, the requirements for Australian undergraduate courses are 6.0-7.0, for master's courses 6.5-7.5 and for preparatory courses 5.5-6.0. After analyzing the specific courses and figuring them out, there will be specific learning objectives.
Many students will have questions. What should I do if IELTS fails to meet the admission requirements? In general universities, every 0.5 point difference in IELTS, plus 10 week language course. However, the minimum requirement for IELTS in a student visa is 5.0, that is, if IELTS is lower than 5.0, you can't apply for an undergraduate or master's student visa. Of course, it's complicated here. For example, you can apply for a matriculation visa at 4.5 points, but you can't connect with an undergraduate visa at the same time; Some colleges and universities have minimum IELTS requirements for language upgrading classes, otherwise they can only take ordinary language classes and then take IELTS in Australia.
Third: capital preparation
The fund preparation includes tuition and living expenses. At present, the tuition fees in Australia are generally between 6,543,800 yuan and 6,543,809 yuan per year, and the living expenses are between 6,543,800 yuan per year. Each student can calculate the approximate funds for studying abroad according to his annual tuition fee, exchange rate at that time and academic system. During this period, there will be tuition increase or exchange rate fluctuation, so the information should be updated in real time.
It should be noted that the guarantee fund = [(tuition/year+US$ 65,438+08,000) × educational system+US$ 2,000 ]× exchange rate at that time. Students can use this formula to calculate the security fund that needs to be prepared according to their own situation. If they need to learn a language, they need to add language tuition and living expenses during the language period.
Fourth: material preparation
High school students need to provide high school transcripts when applying for preparatory courses (some schools should pay attention to the average score requirements); Undergraduate students need high school transcripts, high school diplomas, existing undergraduate transcripts, undergraduate study certificates and course descriptions (some public courses may not provide course descriptions) to apply for undergraduate credit relief; Undergraduate students applying for a master's degree need to provide transcripts of the first six semesters and proof of study.
