What are the favorable policies for studying in Australia for master's degrees? How difficult is it to apply to well-known universities?

It is difficult to take the postgraduate examination in China, and the volume is surprisingly high,

Don't panic!

Go to Australia to study for a master's degree, QS top 100 universities, easy to apply, no major limit, if you want to apply, come quickly!

1. The master's degree system is flexible

Compared with most of the 1-year master's programs in the UK and most of the 2-year programs in the United States, the Australian master's degree system is really not too flexible, and can be divided into 2-year, 1.5-year and 1-year courses:

• 2 years, suitable for most students who apply across majors.
• The 1.5-year program is actually a half-semester credit reduction on the basis of the 2-year major. It is mainly aimed at students with relevant professional backgrounds.
• 1 year, this type of study is mainly for students with relevant background and work experience in the undergraduate program.

2. There are many major choices and cross-majors are accepted

The major settings of Australian universities are clearly subdivided, and applicants can choose from many majors, and they can also apply across majors.

Many students find that they do not like the major they are studying, or the current employment prospects of the major are not very optimistic. There are also many students who want to study one more major and become a compound talent. Then changing majors and applying for a master's degree is an inevitable choice. Compared with the university and major applications in other countries, many majors in Australian universities accept applications for changing majors.

For example, accounting, human resources, and marketing in business; Liberal arts education, media, international management, and law majors can basically apply directly without a professional background.

Another example is the IT major that is partial to engineering, you can apply for #Monash University in Australia across majors, #西澳大学, you don't need a bachelor's degree related professional background.

3. University ranking advantages, more than 100 universities

In fact, the ranking of Australian universities has always been a source of pride for Australia.

Seven of the eight universities in Australia that Chinese students often apply to are ranked among the top 100 in the world, and the eighth University of Adelaide has also been hanging on the edge of the 100, ranking higher than many 211/985 universities in China.

Most applicants hope to stay and work abroad for a period of time after graduating from studying abroad, accumulate work experience and wealth at the same time, and then return to China to have a good development. Then going to Australia is also an excellent choice.

4. The graduation work permit is extended and extended

In order to help Australian businesses recover quickly after the epidemic and revitalize the Australian education industry, the Australian government officially announced two good news for studying abroad on February 21:

1. The 485 Graduate Work Visa is confirmed to be extended for two years
2. The maximum number of part-time jobs for international students will be increased from 40 hours to 48 hours per fortnight

• For undergraduate degrees in certain majors, the length of the work permit has been extended from 2 years to 4 years
• For a master's degree in a specific specialty, the duration of the work permit has been extended from 3 years to 5 years

• For all doctoral degree graduates (regardless of major), the duration of the work permit will be extended from 4 years to 6 years

  (For specific majors, you also need to check the list of majors that meet the visa conditions)

5. Encourage part-time jobs and relax restrictions

In addition to the extension of the 485 graduate work permit, from July 1, the time limit for working in Australia has been extended from the original 40 hours to 48 hours per two weeks.

The Australian government encourages students to use their free time to work part-time, which can not only alleviate the expensive tuition fees and economic pressure of international students to a certain extent, but also enable students to better integrate into local life and enrich the experience of studying abroad.

At present, the minimum legal hourly wage in Australia is: 21.38 Australian dollars, and the actual part-time job may be lower than some Chinese-owned stores, almost around 10-15 Australian dollars, but basically the monthly income is able to meet daily personal expenses.

6. The difficulty of applying is not high

We just mentioned that Australian universities are highly ranked, and generally a high ranking means that it is difficult to apply. However, the difficulty of applying for a master's degree in Australia is actually lower than that of many other countries or regions in the Commonwealth.
