UBC,UoT degree vs Lancaster, Melbourne U foundation

kaka01

UBC 和 UoT也收了囝囝，但是讀一些他沒有深入接觸過的科目或普通有興趣的科目，Lancaster and Mel U 的 foundation 就有機會升讀囝囝心儀學科，應如何取捨，大家可否給点意見？

上述咁多間 U, 世界排名相差不遠, 首要是心儀及興趣科, 其次要考慮會否留在當地工作(有難易之分), 最後讀foundation 如果成績唔夠好, 未必可以入到心儀但又好熱門嘅科目。

除非係神級大學, 你將來有咗幾年工作經驗, 新僱主都唔多睇之前讀那間U, 反而十分在意你曾工作嘅公司名氣,實質工作內容及表現。

囝囝有打算留在當地工作，選擇有placement 會較好？

Management and marketing

Out or curiosity, when did he not apply to management or marketing programs when applying to UBC or UT?

依家澳洲失業率高有5.8%, 如非專業科目未必咁易揾工及夠職業分數過移民局那一關。

因為囝囝沒有讀M1未能符合要求。

What programs he is offered now?
He might want to try to apply to transfer to management with a good GPA in first year. Most first year programs are non program specific so students can still apply to transfer to other programs.
A quick look on the UT website shows that they require students to have calculus background. So he needs to catch up with Year One Calculus (should not be too bad since year one calculus is normally 50% repeating high school calculus). More, he also needs to make sure the classes he takes would match with a typical year one management student.
Good luck.

If working in Canada is a goal, choose a program with "co-op" option. That will mean work + study during the times in university. In any case, visa students are allowed to work during studies (with certain conditions). He should start working during his 4 years at university (at least may be during summer holidays).

"co-op" is only available to high GPA students ?

比著我會選擇直接入U，讀Year1的同時修讀所要求的高數，然後申請轉讀心儀課程。能夠直接讀大一，無理由去讀基礎班。

Not necessarily.
Many universities offer co-op as an option. You can choose whether you do co-op when you apply for the program.

很同意，但囝囝不知怎想的，可能因為他較喜歡英國和澳洲吧！

UBC offer Bachelor of Arts, UoT offer Digital Enterprise Management, 我對這科很陌生。囝囝本身是讀BAFS and Econ 的。

幾間大學的入學要求應該相差不遠，加國收得，英澳也應會收。可否先入讀英澳大學的普通學科，再伺機轉到心儀學科？無論如何都比退回基礎班再爭取容易。

The best is still that your son check out the details of these programs himself on the universities' websites.

In any case, I do think it is important he likes the country as well. If he prefers UK or Aus, go for those programs.

Melbourne U 是否比 Lancaster 好一点呢？
