It is known to all that the UK and Australia have a very high level of education and are both popular choice countries for international students. Is there a dilemma for overseas students here?
Which country should I choose?
In fact, you still want to card to see your own choice, and your own ability, so here Xiaobian to introduce you about the UK and Australia!
It can be used as reference for international students.
Undergraduate study to choose to go to Britain or Australia?
Which good?
First of all, I believe that when you choose an area of study, the budget must be the first consideration.
After all, we don’t want to read a book and burden our families with huge debts, so we choose our country according to our family budget.
Although Britain and Australia are both countries in the Commonwealth, there are still some differences in the length of schooling during the master’s degree.
1. The British Master’s degree is basically one year.
The tuition fee for most majors is about 1.8-2.5 yuan, and the living expenses are about 100,000-150,000 yuan, so the annual expenditure is about 300,000-450,000 yuan.
2. Australia Australia Master’s degree is 1.5 to 2 years.
The tuition fees of the eight popular majors are 180,000-230,000 RMB, and the living expenses are about 1000,000-150,000 RMB, so the overall annual cost in Australia is about 300,000-400,000 RMB.
Overall, the one-year master’s fee in Australia and Britain is basically the same, and even the price in Australia is slightly lower.
Australia has a longer school year, so the overall cost will be a third or more of Britain’s.
Second, from the perspective of career development planning, besides budget, future career development should be the second factor that partners should focus on when choosing a country.
Because of different career plans, our choices are also very different.
When considering studying abroad for a master’s degree, you must consider your future career development and the purpose of studying abroad, so as to make a more reasonable plan for your postgraduate study.
1. The one-year course is suitable for those who plan to return to China in the future.
Shorter schooling means quicker graduation and earlier entry into the workforce to gain work experience.
Australia is suitable for friends who want to study abroad and emigrate.
Because Australia itself is a country of immigrants, people from more than 100 countries live here.
There are special immigration professional, into the immigration professional immigration will be better.
Australia’s immigration major is mainly divided into the following directions, need can refer to: business: accounting liberal arts: social work, preschool education, etc.
Science and Engineering majors: Electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, material engineering, etc.
Medical direction: Nursing, etc.
If you are not considering emigrating after your master’s degree but are considering an internship/work abroad for 1-2 years, then both countries are fine.
Because both the UK and Australia will have a work visa after graduation.
Whether you can find a job you like depends on your comprehensive ability.
3. From the perspective of ranking, ranking is the most difficult factor when we apply for a master’s degree.
The rankings we need to refer to generally include two parts: school rankings and major rankings.
Small record I think look at the ranking, according to the choice of professional different, the focus will be different.
For example, major in literature and business, first choose the school, and then choose the major.
Most of the humanities and social sciences major employment is not so high requirements for skills, but the comprehensive quality of the people who apply for a resume is very high.
Therefore, the key to choose liberal arts major is school first, major second.
If you plan to study science or medicine, choose your major first and then your school.
Because this kind of technical major requires high skills and strength in employment, so the key point of choosing technical major for examination is the major first, the school second.
Taking computing as an example, Xiaolu compiled a list of the top 100 QS countries in the world.
4. From the perspective of student background, in addition to the above three overall considerations, partners should also consider their own background when choosing to study in Britain or Australia.
Because different conditions of application difficulty is not the same.
1. You belong to the first category of students: the undergraduate background is 211& 985, and the average score is above 85.
Then it’s up to you to choose between Britain and Australia.
The UK can consider G5+ Wang Aiman and other universities, while Australia can focus on the TOP4 study in Australia.
2. You belong to the second category of students: the undergraduate background is 211-985, and the average score is above 80.
Then, whether in the UK or MONash University, I can find my favorite school.
For example, the UK could consider Manda and Warwick as less competitive majors, or the University of Glasgow and the University of Birmingham, 1 Monash University could consider the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales.
3. You belong to the third category of students: dual non-African background, with an average score of more than 85 points, so the choice of British and Australian universities is completely determined by the ranking of our undergraduate schools.
Since many schools in the UK have their own lists, APPLYING TO MONASH will get you into a BETTER university, relatively speaking.
For example, if the average score is 87-90, if you apply for 1 Monash University, even the most popular business major in the University of Sydney, University of New South Wales, Melbourne and other famous universities, you will have a high probability of applying.
4. You belong to the fourth category of students: those with a double non-background and an average score of over 80.
Also, it depends on whether our specific 1 University of Sydney schools are in the UK list.
If YOU WANT TO GO TO A UNIVERSITY WITH A BETTER RANKING, YOU ARE ALSO ADVISED TO CHOOSE ONE OF MONASH UNIVERSITY, SUCH AS ONE OF WANG AIMAN AND MONASH UNIVERSITY.
5. Students in the fifth category: 211, 985, dual non background, but the average score is below 80.
This kind of background should be analyzed one by one, because the choice of major is different.
For example, business studies at the University of Sheffield requires only 75 points for students from 211 to 985, while engineering at the University of New South Wales requires only 76 points for double non-students.
If you want to know the details, you can record them at any time.
6, belong to the sixth category of students: students who change majors, then Australian schools will be more flexible for the transfer of majors, such as computer, accounting and finance, there are schools in Australia that can accept the transfer of majors, in this case, you can choose the Australian school for the first time to apply.
1. According to the degree of friendliness, Australia > UK is mainly based on academic and language scores. Some other materials may be required according to the different schools and majors.
Australia’s admission threshold as long as the academic and language scores meet the standard, nothing else is required.
The most important thing is that if the QS rankings are equal, Australian universities require lower academic results, so you can more easily enter prestigious universities.
2. Difficulty of student visa: UK > Australia.
It is relatively simple to prepare for a UK student visa. Apart from a regular passport, photo and form completion, a letter of offer (CAS) from the university and a medical certificate for tuberculosis can be attached.
From 6 July 2018, proof of funds, academic qualifications and English proficiency will no longer be required for a UK student visa, but random checks will be carried out by immigration authorities.
This means that just because you don’t need to prepare the materials doesn’t mean you can’t meet these conditions, but it’s better to have the relevant materials ready to prove it.
As a non-immigrant country, the UK’s student visa review is also relatively strict, so although the materials and procedures are greatly simplified, but still can not be taken lightly.
Student visas in Australia are arguably the friendliest. In Australia, a Chinese passport is the lowest risk level, no funding/language requirements, only a GTE is required to explain the reasonableness of the purpose of studying in Australia.
GTE is an application material, as long as the “I want to study, learn knowledge, not directly come to be an unregistered” to the visa officer can express clearly.
First of all, both of them are British education system, needless to say, they all know that English is the mother tongue. In contrast, the UK will be more old-fashioned, a bit like the feeling of academies and schools in Harry Potter. The atmosphere of learning is strong, and there will always be a sense of tradition in teaching and daily life.
In addition, although people always say that Australia is “soil and Australia”, in fact, Melbourne, Sydney and other places are still very fresh and fashionable. Everyone has a slow pace of life and advocates freedom, and the learning atmosphere will be a little more relaxed than the UK.
The English pronunciation of both countries has local characteristics. Just like the TV series we often watch, everyone in Britain has fluent and authentic British pronunciation, just like A bottle of water that we always joke about, while the “Turkish-Australian pronunciation” is often criticized in Australia.
Those who have passed the IELTS test will surely encounter the situation that nine and eight are confused in listening. However, Australian pronunciation is not as serious as expected, which may be the reason why there are so many immigrants and people from other countries.
Both the UK and Australia have a good climate and are top or top tourist destinations. However, Australia has a much larger land area, about 30 times the size of the UK, which is more abundant and has a better natural environment.
I know that many friends may choose to travel nearby during their overseas holidays. Although Britain is not as big as Australia, the European countries around it are also good choices.
Both the UK and Australia have a good climate and are top or top tourist destinations. However, Australia has a much larger land area, about 30 times the size of the UK, which is more abundant and has a better natural environment.
I know that many friends may choose to travel nearby during their overseas holidays. Although Britain is not as big as Australia, the European countries around it are also good choices.
After finishing the environment, let’s talk about the ranking of schools in both countries. I know that many friends are most concerned about this factor.
Take the QS rankings as an example.
Britain has 18 schools in the Top100, Australia has about 8 schools in the Top100, but Britain has four schools in the Top10, namely Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College London and University of London.
It is true that Britain is well ahead of Australia in top education.
Australia’s eight major countries, led by Melbourne and Sydney, are similar to other Top100 universities in Britain except for the above four, or even a little higher. After all, it is the best in Australia.
If you can get the top four offers in the UK, it is suggested that you do not have to compare it with the major rankings of Australian universities. The above four universities have better teaching quality and learning atmosphere.
However, if you can’t get the offer from these four universities, the rest of the universities in Britain and Australia will be roughly on the same level. We can refer to the world ranking of our favorite major, the type of projects we study and so on.
1. The deadline of many schools in Britain and Australia is relatively late. If you fail to apply for the postgraduate entrance examination in China, you will often have time to do so. Generally, you will start from 9 in the first year and continue until July of the next year, and Australia will extend for 1~2 months.
Generally, the application materials for British and Australian universities include the following four points: undergraduate school, your undergraduate GPA, language score, and extra materials (internship certificate, competition certificate, etc.). However, each university has different additional requirements, which can be found on the official website.
3. Language scores Almost all universities in the two countries recognize IELTS scores, and many other TOEFL, PTE, CA and so on will also accept, but the score required by the UK will be generally higher, and many Australian schools have low professional scores, you can check on the official website.
Britain and Australia are the most humanized in all regions to study abroad, our language results can not be submitted in the application, but to make up for qualified IELTS scores before admission, so you can apply first, in the exam, won’t be delayed because of the domestic entrance examination.
4. Courses in Australia and Britain are 3-4 years for undergraduates and 1-2 years for postgraduates. This is based on the specific analysis of the university. The master’s courses are divided into research-based and lecture-based courses.
The two countries may belong to the Commonwealth education system, so the application materials and other aspects are not very different, but it will be easier for Australia under the same level, because the demand for international students and talents is stronger in Australia.
