Let me see who still doesn't know about the education system in Melbourne.
πHey, folks! Let's delve into the Australian education system, shall we? First, let's understand the differences between the two:
π In a 2-year program, you'll skip half a year of basic courses, but the remaining time is the same as in a 1.5-year program.
π A 1.5-year program adds half a year of advanced courses.
πAs for the pros and cons of each:
π 2-year: After completing it, you can apply for a 2-year Temporary Graduate Visa. It's beneficial to enhance your competitiveness through internships during this time, which can greatly benefit your future immigration or employment prospects.
π 1.5-year: It's shorter in duration and saves students a quarter of the tuition and living expenses. It's suitable for those who wish to return home and develop their careers quickly.
πNow, can you switch between the two systems? Here are some key points:
π Switching from 2-year to 1.5-year: The last 1.5 years have the same courses. It's not easy to switch majors for the first half-year of basic courses, but you can freely switch majors for the last half-year of advanced courses.
π Switching from 1.5-year to 2-year: The first 1.5 years have the same courses. You can freely switch majors for the last half-year of advanced courses. However, it's not recommended because you'll end up studying the basic courses you've already taken for an extra half-year, which isn't very cost-effective.
