Part II: The United States

New Deal for Studying Abroad 1: Add interview link

In the application season next year, many world-renowned schools have added interview sessions when enrolling students. American elite schools pay more and more attention to the background planning and soft power of applicants, and the chances of being interviewed before admission are getting higher and higher.

For example, in the interview session of Stanford University, the interviewer will fully understand the applicant's motivation, academic interests, career planning and communication skills. Some postgraduate majors even add technical interviews (very strict) to examine the applicant's knowledge and ability in academic fields and professional backgrounds.

After the adjustment, the punishment policy will be changed to: reading and math scores will be announced earlier than writing, and some writing scores will be announced five days later than others.

Therefore, students who choose not to participate in the SAT writing section can receive the scores earlier and send them to the university.

The third part: the United States and Britain.

New Deal for Studying Abroad 1: The deadline for application is advanced.

Since last year, the number of international students applying to study in Britain has also increased significantly. So this raises the threshold of some famous schools in Britain.

Take the University of Manchester as an example. In the autumn of 20 18, it is best for applicants from all majors to provide IELTS scores when submitting their applications. Registration for some majors in Manda Computer College was closed on 20 171710/717, nearly half a year earlier than the deadline of 16.

The accounting and finance major of the University of Sheffield also closed on 20171510,65438, which shows the degree of competition in the application.

New Deal for Studying Abroad II: Adjustment of Visa Time

Since August 3 last year, college students can't renew their work visas in the UK, and they can't apply directly. They must return to their own country after the course and then apply for a new visa. International students studying in universities are not affected by the new policy for the time being. Starting from this autumn, the duration of the continuing education visa will be shortened to two years.

At the same time, the T4 student visa points system has also been adjusted, and the living standard has been improved. Now London is 1265 pounds/month, and non-London is 10 15 pounds/month.

New study abroad policy II: The Canadian government has introduced a new work visa policy.

The Canadian government has put forward a preferential visa policy for international students. Those who have studied for two years can apply for a three-year work visa after graduation. This has greatly promoted Canada's education industry and enabled more and more international students to work in Canada.

Part V: Australia and the United States.

New Deal for Studying Abroad 1: SSVF visa will be launched after the New Deal.
