Is it water to study in Australia?
This is the Daoyunjing question, every month, there will be a large number of netizens issue the same question.
The basic argument that is not worth it is as follows: you are too lame! How can you compare with Britain and America?! It`s not as good as domestic 985211!
In their eyes,
Studying in Australia is water,
Those who come to study in Australia are brainless,
Australian students are not capable,
The University of Australia is a pheasant.
Zhang Shaogang, the program host, is ignorant of what a university Monash is, according to the founder of Lili. com, who is an unknown university.
Is our Australian university really that bad?
Xiao Wei wants to use data and examples to answer this question …
It`s true that the admission threshold is low.
Australia`s study abroad is always taken out, and compared with the United Kingdom and the United States, many people also said that Australian universities and domestic universities can not be compared to …
It is difficult to obtain comparative data on admission to colleges and universities in the United States, Britain, Australia and China.
But let`s talk about the admission criteria for top universities in four countries:
Australia takes a Masters of Arts (non-hot major) application at the University of Melbourne as an example, with an average score of 70. The language requirement, for example, is 6.5 for IELTS.
Look at the United States, the same major Harvard University, undergraduate degree requirements of 80, IELTS score of 7. 5%.
As for the UK`s top universities, Cambridge University has the same master`s degree, given the IELTS score of 7.5, a single subject of no less than 7 freak requirements.
As for academic requirements: Chinese applicants need to have an average score of 85 to 90 for graduation from a 985211 university; applicants from other institutions need an average of 90 to 95; or an existing master`s education.

The so-called attainment of certain requirements is the selection of the best, academic degree acquisition institutions from all applicants, results and publication of essay as the main reference criteria.
The admission ratio of Beijing University`s National Master`s entrance examination in the same major is 2.38%.
The overall proportion of masters admitted at Peking University is about 14%. It is not too much to say that it is one in a hundred miles.
Of course, there may be some problems with this top-of-the-line college comparison. For example, the 50-100 universities in the United States may be more difficult to apply for than Mexico or Sydney, and the postgraduate entrance examination may be more difficult than applying for the postgraduate entrance examination. Single colleges and universities can not represent the level of regional education …
But generally speaking, in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, China and the best institutions of four countries, the admission threshold from high to low is the United Kingdom ≥ the United States > China ≥ Australia.
As the US master`s degree involves the SAT and GRE exams, the comprehensive application threshold is the highest.
But academically, Australia won.
The starting line of Australian universities is a bit shorter than that of other countries, but the starting line is not equal to the end line.
We speak with the data and look at the overall ranking of universities in these four countries.
In 2019, QS ranked among the top 500 universities in the world.
The United States accounts for 94 universities.
There are 51 universities in Britain
There are 30 in Australia
There are 24 in China
Therefore, from the regional quality of international education, the United States > Britain > Australia > China.
And the Australian figures are interesting: there are 43 universities in the country and 30 in the world`s top 500.
China has nearly 3000 universities, only 24 of the world`s top 500.

In this way, the quality of higher education in Australia as a whole is much higher than that in China.
Completion of higher education in Australia must be higher than the domestic Shuangfei (non-985211) universities, but also more than most of the 985211 universities.
Who won the job search?
Of course, as a Chinese student, the most important question is: did I spend so much money on an Australian academic degree, that I could open the gap with graduates in China?
So let`s take a look at the word of mouth of the employers in the world`s university rankings.
Harvard University came first in the rankings.
Peking University, Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan has entered the top 50.
The University of Melbourne, the University of Sydney, the University of South Wales, and the University of Monash also made it to the top 50.
The four Australian graduates are on the same level as those at Tsinghua University in China.
Did you ask the editor if it was worth it to study in Australia?
If you study hard, it`s worth it!
Editor Mo University graduated friends, after graduation to return to Huawei, said that every day met Mo University alumni, he secretly took LinkedIn data: 87 Melbourne University alumni work in Huawei, you can see Mo Da influence.
There is a friend who graduated from Zhihu Mo University Business Department said: the best online application has not passed, but the general good can be passed, their competitiveness > a domestic university.
There was a netizen who called himself dregs from Australia, and posted his own school record:
Peace of China

You have to say that Australia can not study abroad, Australian students are parallel goods, Australian students are not brain-rich second generation.
The person who can make such remarks is likely to be a poor loser, Loser..
Pierre Bourdieu, a French sociologist, proposed three concepts of capital: cultural capital, social capital, and economic capital.
The social status of man is determined by the superposition of these three kinds of capital.
Those who can study in Australia have at least a cultural capital, economic Capital, and experience in studying abroad can accumulate cross-border social capital for them.
An Australian international student with cultural capital, economic capital, social capital, and an average college graduate who has never jumped out of comfort zone and may only possess cultural capital, who is more competitive, or whose future can be more long-term?
stick out a mile
But if you ask, is there any low achiever in the circle of Australian students?
There is, of course, one.
But in every circle, there is rat shit. Can Peking University send post-doctoral offer, to Zhai Tianlin? can we say that Peking University is a bad school?
No.
Can you say that the other 100,000 Chinese Australian students are not good because you have met a few low achiever?
I can`t, either.
This netizen summarizes very interesting:
What is the cost-effective value of studying in Australia?
Some people say that now returnees are worthless, studying abroad is not worth, and studying in Australia is not worth even more.
Many individuals and the media put out a sentence in the 2018 report on returnee Employment and Entrepreneurship: 80% of returnees` salaries fall short of expectations.
Just say that foreign students can not, study abroad is not worth.
Excuse me, take the same question to ask the domestic university graduate, they reach the expectation?
The rest of the data in this report is rarely analysed:
97% of returnees can quickly integrate into society, working 4-6 years to recover the cost of studying abroad.
Ninety-five percent of returnees can find a job within half a year.
Nearly 70% of returnees earn more than 6,000 before tax.
Compared with the 2018 China University pay list, returnees are on the same salary as, or even higher than, 985211 graduates from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Only 105 new graduates in China earn an average monthly salary of more than 6000167, and five-year graduates earn more than 6,000 a month.
But don`t forget, there are 3000 colleges and universities in China!
The percentage of recent graduates earning more than 6000 a month is about 3%.
The percentage of 5-year graduates earning more than 6000 a month is about 5%.
But 70% of returnees are above this number.
So here`s the old question,
Is it worth studying in Australia?
The editor wants to say, big data comes to see, it`s worth it!
But the editor also wants to say that big data will never decide his own fate.
If you choose to study in Australia, you may already be ahead of many of your peers.
But you should also know that in Peking University, in Tsinghua University, in the library of an unknown university in China, a group of people are trying their best to break down big data, who is good for you.
Is it worth studying in Australia?
In fact, everyone has answers,
If you get up early every day, work hard to finish your studies, try to get involved in activities that will help you develop in the future, and make friends who are aggressive and knowledgeable.
Then you study on Mars, this study is worth it.
But if you muddle by, make up all the homework, do nothing to browse social software, stay up late, play games, eat junk food, fall …
You can`t save you at Stanford, Cambridge, Harvard, Oxford.
Is it worth studying in Australia?
The answer,
It`s always in your hands,
In your daily attitude.
