First, study abroad
Studying abroad, formerly known as studying abroad, generally refers to a person going to a country outside his own country to receive various kinds of education, which can be short-term or long-term (from a few weeks to several years). These students are called international students. An overseas short-term exchange program organized by the United States and other countries, whose English name "Study foreign" is also literally translated as studying abroad, please refer to overseas study (Chinese mainland called overseas exchange).
On the afternoon of June 3, 20 19, the Ministry of Education issued the study abroad warning No.20 19 in the State Council Office. The early warning pointed out that for some time, the visas of some China students studying in the United States have been restricted, and the visa review period has been extended, the validity period has been shortened, and the refusal rate has increased, which has affected the normal study or successful completion of their studies in the United States by China students studying in the United States.
On June 9, 2020, the Ministry of Education issued the study abroad warningNo. 1 of 2020: Go to Australia cautiously and return to Australia cautiously. From 20 16 to 20 19, the number of students studying abroad in China was 2518,000, and the number of returnees was 2013,000, accounting for 80% (79.9%).

Second, the way to study abroad
A study agent is a study institution that provides services for overseas students to apply for study visas, and provides relevant consulting services for the selection and application of study institutions and the preparation of study materials. Applicants for studying abroad can entrust the affairs related to studying abroad to the study agent, and they only need to prepare and provide the application materials and test results for studying abroad.
Because studying abroad is a special industry in China, formal study agents need to have study abroad qualifications and file with the Ministry of Education before they can operate study abroad affairs. Therefore, students must cooperate in the qualification of studying abroad when choosing an intermediary for studying abroad.
Third, international exchange students.
International exchange program is the earliest way to study in China. It is an international education exchange project carried out by the education authorities at home and abroad. The study visa is an academic exchange visa, and the study time is 1 year. Most of the schools studying abroad are public universities in various countries, and ordinary students have no right to choose schools. All the learning arrangements are arranged by the education departments of various countries, and the learning cost is the least among all learning methods.
Safety is also the most secure, but the requirements for students are very high. Students must be excellent students recognized by the state, and the measurement standards will not be completely unified because of the different countries chosen by students. Because the exchange program only lasts 1 year, if students want to continue studying abroad, they can go through visa transfer procedures and change their academic visas into international student visas, but some countries need students to transfer to private schools.
