Many students have doubts and confusion about the selection criteria for Australian master's degree programs, so let's follow the editor of China Education Online to learn more about it.

Selection criteria for Australian master's degree programs



In terms of categories, the Australian Master's program can be divided into 6 major categories and 30 subcategories.

The six major categories are humanities, business, law, science, engineering, and medicine. Whether an applicant can be admitted to a major category mainly depends on their undergraduate professional background.

For example, applying for a master's program in humanities (such as translation, media, etc.) does not have special requirements for the applicant's undergraduate professional background; Applying for a Master's program in Business Studies, the 1.5-2 year program does not have specific requirements for the applicant's undergraduate professional background. However, a 1-year Master's program in Business generally requires the applicant to have a Bachelor's degree in Business and may also require some work experience; Applying for master's programs in science, engineering, and medicine requires applicants to have the same or similar undergraduate professional background. Some courses do not require undergraduate professional background (such as certain two-year master's programs in computer science).

2. Self advantages

Successfully completing the Australian Master's program requires applicants to possess strong knowledge and skills, including professional skills, English proficiency, mathematical ability, and other abilities. If you have strong English proficiency but weak mathematical skills, studying humanities or law can help you leverage your strengths and avoid your weaknesses; If the English and math abilities are average or relatively good, studying a business major would be more suitable; If your English proficiency is average and your math skills are strong, then studying computer science or engineering will be more advantageous. If students can leverage their comparative advantages in the master's program they are studying, they are likely to achieve good grades, and an excellent student will also have a comparative advantage when looking for a job after graduation.

3. Australian immigration opportunities

The process of studying abroad and applying for Australian immigration is known as "Australian Overseas Student Technical Immigration". In May 2014, the Australian Immigration Service released a new Skilled Occupation List, which officially came into effect on July 1, 2014.

Common immigration humanities majors include early childhood education, middle school teachers, and social work; Immigration related business majors include accounting, auditing, and actuarial science; Immigration related science majors include agriculture and chemistry; Immigration surveying majors include quantity measurement, surveying, and mapping; Immigration engineering majors include chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, mining engineering, etc; Immigration related computer majors include program analysis, program development, and system analysis; Immigration architecture majors include architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning, among others; Immigration medical majors include dentists, nursing, occupational therapy, general practitioners, and veterinarians.

4. Career interests

For example, studying a master's degree in accounting in Australia, the corresponding profession after graduation is accountant or auditor, and related professions include investment analyst, tax consultant, etc. If students can study their favorite majors and engage in their favorite careers, they are more likely to gain a sense of career satisfaction and achievement. There are various factors that affect career interests, such as personal personality, family background, educational background, etc. If you are not sure about your professional interest, you can try the online professional interest assessment tool.

5. Career prospects

In terms of job opportunities, for Chinese students studying for graduate studies in Australia, if they want to work in Australia, there are relatively more job opportunities provided by technology intensive professions such as accounting, engineering, and computer professionals; Management intensive or communication intensive professions often set high barriers in terms of cultural background and English communication skills, making it difficult for Chinese students to compete with local or other international students. From the perspective of starting salary for graduates, graduates in engineering and computer science have a higher starting salary, while graduates in business and humanities have a relatively lower starting salary.

6. Industry Outlook



From the perspective of attribution, some Australian master's program majors do not have clear industry affiliations, typical of which are accounting and computer science majors. Students majoring in accounting can work in accounting firms or in any industry or enterprise after graduation. Therefore, the difficulty of a certain industry's prosperity directly affects the employment opportunities of students studying this type of major. Some master's degree programs have clear industry affiliations, such as hotel management, finance, etc. The industry's prosperity index will directly affect the employment opportunities of students studying this major.
