There are more and more overseas colleges and universities that recognize the results of the college entrance examination.
　　How to start the application for studying abroad?

　　A few days ago, the college entrance examination results of all parts of the country have been announced one after another, but some students are in a state of entanglement: they have made a plan to study abroad before, under the epidemic, should they continue? Can you study abroad smoothly? These have become unknown.

　　Do you still stick to your study abroad plan?

　　Studying in the UK has always been the wish of Wang Ling (pseudonym) who lives in Inner Mongolia. "Some British colleges and universities attach great importance to the average grades of high school in the past few years, and I have made a lot of efforts for this. Before, I wanted to use the college entrance examination results to apply to study in the UK, and I also learned in detail about the specific standards of the schools that accept college entrance examination results in the UK. , For example, Cambridge University, Birmingham University and other colleges and universities accept Chinese students' college entrance examination results." Wang Ling said.

　　Against the background of the global spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Wang Ling gradually tends to abandon her plan to study abroad. But before the college entrance examination, Wang Ling also noticed media reports-regarding the impact of the epidemic on studying abroad, the relevant person in charge of the International Department (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs Office) of the Ministry of Education When asked by reporters, the Opinions on Opening to the Outside World (referred to as the Opinions) stated that “the impact of the epidemic on studying abroad is temporary.” This news made Wang Ling's heart shake again, and she started to study abroad as planned.

　　"All kinds of information always make me in a wave of uncertainty." What makes Wang Ling most entangled is after the college entrance examination results come out, "I studied science in high school, and the college entrance examination scores were more than 40 points higher than the level. According to my current Achievements, you can go to a fairly good undergraduate college in China. The epidemic situation abroad is not very optimistic. In the eyes of parents, this is not a multiple-choice question. It is the best choice to study at a university in China. But I am not willing. Give up the opportunity to study abroad. If you give up now, I don’t know if there is still a chance to regain my dream in the future."

　　There are many students and parents who are as entangled as Wang Ling. According to the research data of the "Report on the Status of Study Abroad under the New Normal 2020" released by Qi Tak Education, the study abroad plan of intending students has been affected to varying degrees under the situation of the epidemic and the complex and changeable international environment. Among the intending international students participating in the survey, 31.2% of students said they were unsure whether to postpone their study abroad plan, and 16.3% of students said they were unsure whether to continue studying abroad.

　　But the research report also provides another set of data-25.79% of students plan to postpone their study abroad plans. This also reflects from the side that there are still quite a few intending students who do not plan to give up studying abroad, but have adjusted their time planning.

　　Flexible adjustments by overseas institutions

　　Compared with the entanglement of Chinese students, many countries and universities have issued relevant policies in response to the epidemic to ensure the smooth progress of international students' studies.

　　The Secretary of State for University Affairs of the United Kingdom mentioned in a joint statement to international students enrolled in the fall that the "Graduate Program" will be open to all international students who are studying in British universities and earning a bachelor's degree or above in the summer of 2021 and thereafter. As long as you arrive in the UK before April 6, 2021 to complete the final stage of study in the UK, and meet other requirements of the "Graduate Program", you will still be eligible to apply for the program even if you study remotely or online before arriving in the UK plan. "We fully recognize the importance of international students. With the lifting of restrictions in various places and the gradual restart of services by other visa application centers, we will try our best to expedite the visa application process."

　　In New Zealand, the University of Auckland provides a new way of teaching for Chinese students who cannot enter New Zealand to study: The University of Auckland and its Chinese partners-Southwest University and Northeast Forestry University have jointly opened an opening for students stranded in China due to the epidemic Two Chinese learning centers. In this way, students can complete the second semester of 2020 through online courses provided by the teaching team of the University of Auckland and face-to-face tutoring provided by local partner institutions. "For students who are not in Chongqing or Harbin, they will receive the school's travel funding support, so that they have the opportunity to go to the corresponding learning center to study smoothly." The relevant person in charge of the University of Auckland said.

　　According to the head of the Chinese region of the Italian Education Center Association, the new academic year of Italian universities will start in September. Universities have introduced more favorable measures based on the epidemic risk situation in their region, including expanding the number and line of offline classrooms. Mixed online and offline teaching methods, etc. It is worth mentioning that each school has also funded physical isolation barriers and other protective equipment for on-site teaching (voice, piano, etc.).

　　According to relevant experts from Qi Tak Education, most Canadian colleges and universities adopt an online teaching model for international students enrolled this fall. For example, universities such as the University of Toronto and secondary schools such as Columbia International College can accept online courses temporarily without visa registration. Some universities have also postponed the start time of the master's degree courses admitted in the fall to the spring of 2021.

　　What needs to be prepared

　　Regardless of the entangled process, for Chinese students who have decided to go abroad after a careful decision, they need to face new challenges compared to their preparations for studying abroad in previous years.

　　The flexible adjustments made by overseas colleges and universities during the enrollment stage, such as the policies introduced in terms of student visas and teaching quality, have indeed allowed some Chinese students to continue their study abroad plans. Relevant experts said that with the improvement of the epidemic prevention and control situation in some foreign countries and the end of the domestic college entrance examination, the number of applicants for study abroad will increase. At the same time, the admission policies introduced by overseas universities to attract international students will also lead to an increase in applications for study abroad. . Therefore, in order to cope with the possibility that there may be a bunch of applications for studying abroad, candidates need to start preparing for studying abroad as soon as possible.

　　At the specific operational level, experts from Kai Tak Education suggest that for students who cannot apply for a visa, they can take professional courses or online language courses in China first, and pay attention to subsequent changes in visa policies; for students who are preparing to apply for study abroad Said that while paying close attention to the policies of relevant countries and institutions, you may wish to use this time to participate in online scientific research projects, enrich your academic experience, accumulate background for studying abroad, and improve competitiveness; in addition, you should always pay attention to standardized tests such as IELTS and TOEFL. And some new language test information changes and make new plans based on them.
