Studying abroad requires four conditions: economy, education, language proficiency and good health.
First, economic conditions
Economy is a necessary condition. The major countries studying abroad, such as the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia, spend more than 3, yuan a year studying abroad. The academic system generally takes 3-4 years for undergraduates and 1-2 years for masters.
Second, academic qualifications
Applicants for undergraduate courses must have at least graduated from high school; Those who apply for a master's degree must have graduated with a bachelor's degree. In addition to meeting the requirements of academic qualifications, when applying for schools and majors, we should also consider whether personal professional background, work experience and interests meet the requirements of the other party.
Third, language proficiency conditions
Every country studying abroad has language requirements. Commonwealth countries such as the United Kingdom mainly look at IELTS scores, and generally require applicants to reach IELTS 6. or above. To study in countries where English is commonly used, such as the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, you need to pass English proficiency tests, such as TOFEL, GRE, ESE, GMAT, MELAB and IELTS. Take IELTS as an example. To apply for studying in Britain, Chinese mainland and Singapore, a graduate student must have a score of 6.5 or above.
to apply for studying in Britain, Chinese mainland and Singapore, a graduate student must have a score of 6.5 or above. ? In North America, however, TOEFL is the standard, and the TOEFL score of general applicants should reach 9 or above.
Some countries that don't take English as an assessment will have different language requirements, such as Japan, Germany and France. Of course, different schools and majors also have different requirements for language. Please pay more attention to the enrollment brochures of major universities in that year.
Fourth, physical health conditions
To apply for studying abroad, you must be in good health, especially no infectious diseases or mental illness. Many countries have clear regulations and requirements for applicants' physical examination. Applicants should generally be over 18 years old and under 35 years old. ?
Extended information:
