Sure, go ahead! What would you like to say about the Australian education system?
👋Hello everyone, today let's talk about the education system in Australia. Come and learn with me! 🎓
🍑First, let's discuss the differences between the two systems:
➡️2-year programs usually have an additional half-year of foundational courses compared to the 1.5-year programs. The remaining one and a half years of courses are the same as the 1.5-year programs.
➡️1.5-year programs have an extra half-year of courses, allowing for more in-depth study.
➡️The duration of study also varies depending on the undergraduate major.
🍑Next, let's look at the pros and cons of each system:
➡️2-year program: After completion, you can apply for a 2-year Temporary Graduate Visa, during which you have more flexibility. It is beneficial to secure an internship in advance for future immigration or employment opportunities in your home country.
➡️1.5-year program: After completion, you cannot apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa. However, the shorter duration of study offers better value for money, saving about a quarter of tuition and living expenses. It is suitable for students who do not have immigration plans and wish to return to their home country immediately for career development.
🍑Now, let's discuss the possibility of switching between the two systems. Here is a summary:
➡️Switching from a 2-year program to a 1.5-year program: For majors with the same foundational courses in the first half-year, switching is not possible. For majors with advanced courses in the second half-year, you can freely switch, although the degree and depth of study will differ. Switching between different majors depends on individual circumstances.
➡️Switching from a 1.5-year program to a 2-year program: For majors with the same courses in the first one and a half years and advanced courses in the second half-year, you can freely switch. In other cases, switching is possible but not recommended, as it would mean repeating the foundational courses you have already studied, which may not be cost-effective.
