Four common misunderstandings of studying abroad in Australia

1. Submit your application at the last minute

 

Although the process of preparing materials is cumbersome, for international students applying for Australian universities, it is still necessary to prepare materials and apply as early as possible. Most Australian universities accept applications without IELTS or without a diploma. You can choose to make up your grades after you get a conditional offer, or take language classes or preparatory courses at Australian universities. It is worth noting that the application for the CON-COE policy of Australian universities can only be applied through a study abroad agent!

 

2. Be sure to apply for Group of Eight and apply for popular majors

 

There are not only Group of Eight schools in Australia, but also many schools' rankings, strengths, and employment rates that international students care about, all of which are very good. For example, UTS, Macquarie University etc. These schools are also very well-known locally in Australia, and their graduates' reputation, starting salaries, employment rates, etc., can even exceed the top eight.

 

As for popular majors, choosing a different major depends on your own interests and future development plans. Don't blindly follow the trend, and go to the so-called popular majors for immigration. If you choose a major that you are not interested in at all, your study abroad life will be difficult, and you may fail to keep up and transfer.

 

3. Not familiar with the post-application process

 

Finally, the materials were prepared and the application was submitted. Do you think this is the end? Every year, many students pass by dream school because they are not familiar with the post-submission process and do not know the deadline for accepting offers.

 

First of all, if you receive a conditional offer, the next thing to do is to prepare the required materials within a certain period of time, such as submitting IELTS scores, submitting transcripts, etc. Then, you can get the full offer. The next step is to pay the fee, wait for your COE (Certificate of Enrollment) and apply for a student visa.

 

4. I must live in a school dormitory or a school-recommended dormitory

 

Unlike domestic universities, studying in Australia does not necessarily require living in school dormitories. Australian university dormitories or residential colleges are generally more expensive, and there are relatively few local students in Australia, most of which are international students from all over the world. When choosing a university, local students in Australia tend to prefer universities close to their home. After they go to university, they will also live in their own homes. They can bring meals from home or go home at any time.

 

Therefore, you can choose a nearby student apartment, a homestay in Australia, or find a local student to share a lease with. This will help you adjust to life in Australia faster and improve your English!
