Studying in Australia this year, more than can be said to change in the year. After the outbreak of last year’s financial crisis, Australian dollar depreciation, for Chinese students studying in Australia are ideally weather, favorable terrain. But now Australia began studying a variety of adverse factors: the Australian dollar against the yuan’s exchange rate has risen to 6.19 from a low of 4.2, starting next year to Australia cost of living study in margin requirements 12000 AUD / year was revised to 1.8 million Australian dollars / years, the recent collapse of Australia’s private schools also frequent. Chinese students and their parents can not help but started to worry: Australia still the land of studying?
And Australia is different from the United States, Canada, the UK’s policy has always been good students, but is also a favorable surge in the number of applicants, applications are thus becoming more intense. Study how the situation in 2010, will continue to good? Meng, director of foreign students on business, studying long-wei Hu Jing and senior vice president of Shanghai Branch of experts studying Yang Chinese experts and other students were good country to study on his own given his own views.
United States: Situation positive, but not be blindly optimistic
Study in the United States visa in 2006 after the success rate has been increased, coupled with the recent commitment of President Obama’s visit to China will accept more Chinese students to the United States to study and provide visa facilitation, in addition, President Obama during his visit in Shanghai, was also special arrangements for Chinese youth exchanges, noting that young people are the best ambassadors of the United States hoped that more outstanding Chinese youth can go to the U.S. to study in the United States also will encourage more young people come to China to study, so that both sides understand each other more . Therefore, the Chinese students in U.S. schools will continue to increase recruitment efforts will certainly provide more places for Chinese students,
U.S. visas will be further relaxed, the United States in 2010 for students from China will increase significantly.
Now is the perfect time to go to America to study, but due to the increase in the number of applicants, the American School in the selection of students and certainly merit the time, application and scholarship application prestigious competition will be very intense, the difficulty will increase with. In addition to students with outstanding achievements and English proficiency, the United States valued more prestigious overall quality of students. Therefore, students should be an objective assessment of their ability, in the school choice and planning of study programs to be more scientific and rational. Another application in order to avoid crowding together, students should be a reasonable planning time, as soon as possible to prepare materials for the school.
Furthermore, since the two sides in the “economic cooperation and the global recovery,” “Climate Change, Energy and environment” issues such as a series of consensus reached will be more extensive and in-depth work with. Prepare the United States to study in schools, and professional students in choosing a time when we should look at the needs of future Sino-US labor market area of expertise, rational planning to study, to explore new ideas, to become in line with market development, professional talent.
Experts Yang Guohua, senior living in America that, while there is a range of good news, but going abroad is still greater than the increase in the number of policy brought about good for the Chinese students, enrollment is increasing difficult. And a number of conditions are mostly open to the general schools, for the top 50 schools, the difficulty is actually growing. Therefore, Chinese students can not because of good and blindly optimistic.
United Kingdom: a younger age will become a trend in
2010 United Kingdom, will still be before the college admissions policies, there is no significant change, but because the false information event in the UK outbreak, school materials, students will spend vet the authenticity of a larger effort, in particular, some students themselves application, no company guarantees, the school will be through other means to understand the material authenticity.
In addition, the future development trend of studying in the UK will be more younger-oriented, because now go to Britain to study secondary and undergraduate students in the guarantee as long as the first one-year tuition and living expenses, as long as 200,000 -30 million, compared to the previous 800,000 -100 million are much lower, and along with the concept of change, and domestic pressure on secondary education, more parents willing to send their children to an elite British education.
Meng said that Britain’s total-point system has experienced in 2009 is a familiar process of visa in 2010, the visa will become more perfect. And the visa officer by the last communication, that in 2010 a visa letter (VISALETTER) will become the electronic version, which will be sent to save time and to facilitate the timely correction of information. The specific implementation details and timing have yet to be announced.
UK visa in reducing the security deposit requirements and streamline the application materials, the case is bound to attract more international students choose to study in the UK. From the current applications that greater numbers of students applied for study in the UK, the British schools because the gradual increase in the number of applicants increased entry requirements, so would like to remind all those who wish in September 2010 to prepare students to study in UK as soon as possible to prepare application has been to seize the best time to apply.
Canada: the threshold of becoming the low enrollment
With the further opening up of the United States, Canada, the threshold of becoming the low school enrollment, especially some well-known institutions previously unattainable, such as the University of Toronto opened undergraduate matriculation courses, University of Waterloo opened a dual-admission, so that more and more students be able to choose your own dream school. Meanwhile, some universities are offering more and more one-year master’s degree courses, applicants also increased significantly the number of places, so that more international students admitted to master’s programs.
Costs, Canada is still very stable and has not been a major financial crisis, the impact of tuition fees has not changed. Compared with an annual tuition rose in many countries, Canada’s schools, because most of the funds come from the Government, so it’s very smooth, no worries, not an exaggeration up fees. Relatively speaking, reasonable tuition, high-quality education and safe and comfortable living environment, so that more students are willing to in high school or even earlier, went to Canada to study.
Visa requirements gradually reduce. Although China now and are more difficult to go to Canada for a visa to countries in the world, but because of the U.S. student visa liberalization, forcing the Canadian government made an adjustment to reduce the sources of funds required for the period, from 18 months to be reduced to 12 months, believe that this adjustment in the next few years there will be.
As the Canadian government immigration policies for international students substantial improvements in technology, more and more students studying in Canada through the work to a smooth transition as the same time, the Government of Canada also hope that such a rich learning experience of life in Canada is very adapted to local environments students can contribute to society in Canada. Could be said to immigrants in Canada is the world’s most vulnerable students in one of the countries of the.
Recently, Canadian Prime Minister to visit China reached an agreement with the Chinese government and open Chinese citizens travel to Canada. I believe the implementation of this policy can make more people understand Canada, go to Canada for study abroad students will be more and more.
Australia: Ebb Tide raise admission standards
Hu Jing believes that the current Australian education industry is shuffling, Group of Eight elite take on a determined path, the employment-based firm to go university in practical, employment-based road, private institutions are not strong shift away scale, standardized way. Ebb Tide, in 2009 during the year, many private schools, it does not really go on, leaving behind, and are tested through the financial crisis, the teaching staff, teaching guaranteed schools.
While the experienced rising costs, and the exchange rate rise, but because Australia was a nation of immigrants, for many students the charm still not abated. Only in consultation with parents will be more careful when and caution. Therefore recommended that the best parents in order to “investment banking” point of view, as soon as possible a good program, good margin loans, or advice to prepare.
Policy adjustments the positive side, the amount of new guarantees a more accurate reflection of the Chinese students in Australia cost of living, parents should make full preparations for the economy, in order to protect the child’s life abroad. The students work after graduation to stay in Australia starting salaries will also be increased.
The future, the Australian study may show the following trends: first, the applicant aptitude requirements and admission to the institution’s management has become more stringent eligibility criteria, indicating the Australian government hopes to raise the quality of applicants from overseas students, to maintain quality of education in Australia to maintain the competitiveness of Australian education in order to protect Australia’s education export industry, long-term stable development. Secondly, the identity of the applicant to provide the relaxation of capital shows that the Australian government to better understand China’s national conditions, cultural background, economic development and governmental mechanisms. Students have the ability to provide assistance to families to Australia to study in the form of diversification,
The AEC to attract more families.
Finally, continuous improvement, to improve the visa trial methods and cycles, although China is still one of the countries belonging to four categories of risk, but some policies have been closer to low-risk category of countries, such as e-visa program. Trial cycles through continuous efforts, the vast majority of cases are now 2 months pre-assessment results.
