Let me see who still doesn't know about the education system in Melbourne.
🍑Hey, folks! Let's delve into the Australian education system, shall we? First, let's understand the differences between the two:
👉 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.
👉 A 1.5-year program adds half a year of advanced courses.
🍑As for the pros and cons of each:
👉 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.
👉 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.
🍑Now, can you switch between the two systems? Here are some key points:
👉 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.
👉 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.
