Memorizing vocabulary and practicing listening are what Liang Min, a second-year graduate student at the w88 casino of Pharmacy and Bioengineering at Chongqing University of Technology, spends several hours a day doing during this period.
At the end of last year, Liang Min saw it on the w88 casino’s official website"The 2017 Autumn Yamaguchi University Publicly Funded Exchange Program in Japan", she felt that the opportunity was rare and applied. "I'm going to Japan in October this year, so I have to work hard on the language." Liang Min is looking forward to the upcoming life of studying abroad.
Data from the Ministry of Education shows,The total number of people studying abroad in my country was 544,500 in 2016, an increase of 144,900 from 2012, an increase of 36.26%, of which about 70% were undergraduates or above.
In today’s era of economic globalization, there are more and moreStudentChoose to study abroad. What are the current study abroad pathways and policies of various universities? What difficulties will international w88 casino encounter? What are the gains? The reporter recently visited some universities in the city.
The world is so big, what are the ways to go out and see it?
“The world is so big, you have to go out and see it.” This is the original intention of many friends to study abroad, but which ones actually go out?
“Currently in colleges and universities, there are three main ways for college students (including bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral students) to study abroad: state-sponsored, w88 casino-level exchanges, and independent application.” Wei Yingying, a staff member of the International Cooperation and Exchange Office of Chongqing University of Technology, introduced.
The state-sponsored program generally refers to going abroad by applying for projects of the China Scholarship Council. Depending on the project, the duration of the government-sponsored study abroad program ranges from a few months to a few years. The w88 casino will screen the students based on their foreign language proficiency, w88 casino performance, etc. Students who successfully apply to study abroad may also receive varying amounts of fund assistance.
w88 casino-level exchange programs can come from exchange places provided by foreign friendly schools, exchange programs obtained by various colleges, or places provided by study abroad agencies, etc. These study abroad programs vary in length."In 2016, more than 700 students from Southwest University applied for w88 casino-level exchange programs. The w88 casino will also provide a certain level of funding to college students based on the country, length, and nature of the exchange program." Zhang Fajun, director of the International Cooperation and Exchange Office of Southwest University, introduced.
Applicants for w88 casino-level exchange programsThe threshold is not low either. Huang Ying, a senior student at Southwest University, applied for an exchange program at Umea University in Sweden last year. "Applicants are required to rank in the top 20% of the grade and reach CET-4 in English before they can enter the interview."
In addition to the above two methods, independent application is also an important way to study abroad.
Wang Wenbin from Chongqing University of Technology is an international student at the w88 casino of Engineering at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
After confirming that he wanted to apply to study abroad independently, the first thing Wang Wenbin did was to log on to the official website of the University of Melbourne to check the application requirements and what relevant certification materials were needed."IELTS test, score certification, personal statement and letters of recommendation...these materials are all important." Wang Wenbin said.
As for tuition fees, different countries have different fees for students at different stages of study, majors studied, schools and cities, and w88 casino levels. If he does not apply for a scholarship, taking Wang Wenbin as an example, his annual tuition fee plus living expenses in Australia will cost about RMBAbout 200,000 yuan. If you apply for a full scholarship, you will only need more than 70,000 yuan for living expenses.
Despite annual tuitionandLiving expenses are as high as hundreds of thousands, but many parents and friends think it should still be done"Try to go out and take a look."
"Nowadays, the competition for employment among college w88 casino is very fierce. If you have an international education background, you can improve your competitiveness and benefit your future development." Wang Wenbin's views also represent the aspirations of most friends.
Studying abroad life is wonderful There are also difficulties and challenges
What can you learn from studying abroad? Recalling her one-year study abroad life in Sweden, Huang Ying was filled with emotion.
“The biggest difference is in the classroom.” Huang Ying recalled that during experimental classes in China, the teacher would assemble all the instruments, teach the w88 casino the detailed steps, and then let the w88 casino operate them.
At Umea University in Sweden, w88 casino have to do everything by themselves, from assembling experimental instruments to designing experimental procedures."What results do you want to get? What instruments are needed? How to operate? You have to think about these all by yourself, which especially tests w88 casino' independent inquiry ability."
Huang Ying’s after-w88 casino life in Sweden is equally exciting. She entered the Arctic Circle for the first time and saw the beautiful aurora; she went to the Swedish forest and saw herds of deer and roe deer... In one year, she traveled to more than 10 countries including Switzerland, France, and Italy. Studying abroad also improved her ability to take care of herself. She had never cooked before, but she baked cakes, biscuits, braised pork knuckles, etc. while studying abroad.
Quite a fewFriends who “go abroad” believe that cultural exchanges with foreign friends are also a major gain from studying abroad.
Mo Hao, a sophomore majoring in physical education at Southwest University, went to the University of Windsor in Canada last year for a period of study3 months short-term study abroad. Canada's education method that focuses on cultivating w88 casino' creative thinking opened his eyes. He also performed a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance for local w88 casino, which greatly impressed them! "The collision and exchange of cultures make me feel very meaningful."
However, although studying abroad is wonderful, there are also various difficulties and challenges during the period. Among them, language barrier is the first obstacle.
Ma Liyan, a sophomore majoring in broadcasting and hosting at Southwest University, remembers that when she first arrived to study at Illinois State University in the United States,“The teacher teaches in English, and I can only understand 1/3 of the whole class.”. In addition, during the class roundtable discussion, because some highly technical terms such as race and social class were involved, we were unable to express our meaning accurately and were particularly anxious.
The unfamiliar living environment and local cultural customs abroad also test the adaptability of international w88 casino. Cheng Li (pseudonym) is a junior student in a certain university. last yearIn September, she independently applied to study at a w88 casino in the United States. But because my English is not good and I don’t like to take the initiative to communicate with others, I don’t know many people and spend most of my time with my Chinese classmates.
Over time, Cheng Lijiu"Shrunk" in the small circle of international w88 casino, life is spent in a haze. "As a result, I failed several subjects at the end of the semester. In addition to wasting time and money, I feel like I have learned nothing in the past year." Cheng Li was very frustrated.
“‘Turtle’ (returned) became ‘kelp’ (to be), which refers to the type of w88 casino who studied abroad but did not learn their real skills.” A parent living in Nan’an District lamented that he spent nearly one million to send his son to study in the United States. As a result, the child learned nothing. After returning to China, he could not find a job for a year, becoming a veritable “kelp”.
“If you don’t have clear goals and strong adaptability, blindly following the trend of studying abroad is likely to achieve nothing.” In this regard, Wei Yingying believes that if college w88 casino lack the corresponding preparation and foundation, studying abroad will do more harm than good.
Be well prepared to grow
There is no doubt that some good foreign platforms and resources will make friends gain a lot. Manchao, who graduated from Chongqing University of Technology majoring in vehicle engineering and now works in a car company, feels that his experience studying abroad has been of great help to his current development.
During his graduate studies, Manchao went to Tohoku University in Japan for a period of study2 months of study abroad. "During this period, I participated in a project jointly developed by China, Japan and South Korea to develop intelligent robots." Manchao recalled that the w88 casino had a strong academic atmosphere and everyone was very rigorous and serious. Sometimes in order to optimize a small sensor, some students will search for information all night and conduct dozens of experiments. "This 'one-minded' attitude also affected me."
Because of his excellent professional foundation and dedication to work, Manchao is currently developing well in the unit.
According to statistics, there are currently a total of entrepreneurship parks for overseas w88 casino across the countryMore than 300, 24,000 enterprises have entered the park, and 67,000 overseas w88 casino have started businesses in the park. More than 70% of the subject leaders of national key projects are returnees, and a large number of academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering are also returnees.
“In today’s era of economic globalization, the demand for talents with international vision and solid professional background will be increasing.” Zhang Fajun suggested that it is very important for college w88 casino to be well prepared for studying abroad.
The reporter learned that many colleges and universities also provide w88 casino with relevant training for studying abroad.“We will provide pre-departure education to w88 casino who are preparing to go abroad, introduce local cultural customs, safety knowledge, etc., and help w88 casino clarify their study abroad goals.” Wei Yingying said that she hopes that through these methods, everyone can be well prepared and achieve better results.
“Parents should also pay attention to cultivating w88 casino’ ability to solve problems independently.” Zhang Fajun believes that good psychological quality and interpersonal skills are also skills that w88 casino studying abroad must possess. “If you are more introverted and lack a positive and tolerant attitude, you may not be able to adapt well to studying abroad.”
“Studying abroad has both advantages and disadvantages. It can be said to be ‘half sea water, half fire’.” Man Chao said that studying abroad does have many benefits, but the premise is that friends must have clear plans and goals instead of just thinking about “coating gold”.
How to avoid intermediary traps
First of all, when choosing an intermediary, you should understand whether the agency is legal, as well as its work style and efficiency, and choose the right one. You can also visit the Ministry of Education’s Education Foreign-Related Supervision Information Network, which will400 legal study abroad institutions, legal representatives and office locations are all clearly listed.
Secondly, in response to the claims made by agencies that students recommended by them can be hired 100% of the time, students must make a realistic assessment of their actual level and abilities, rationally analyze what grade of w88 casino they can apply for, and cultivate their ability to distinguish right from wrong.
When choosing an institution to study abroad, be sure to ask clearly what the fees are and how much you have to pay in total, and make it clear in the contract. At the same time, during the application process, you must pay attention to the official websites of overseas institutions, study abroad trends and other information, and follow up in real time so that problems can be solved in a timely manner.
