Coming Soon: QS Top 50 Under 50 2019

Submitted by craig@qs.com on Mon, 06/18/2018 - 12:57

Following hot on the heels of the 2019 edition of the QS World University Rankings®, the QS Top 50 Under 50 2019 will be published later this week, showcasing the finest young universities around the world.

An opportunity for some of the less-established academic institutions to shine, the Top 50 Under 50 will be published in conjunction with the Next 100 Under 50, meaning 150 of the world’s top young universities will be included.

First published in 2012, the QS Top 50 Under 50 celebrates universities which have established a strong position in the international ranking tables in an impressively short space of time. Accumulating the levels of reputation and research impact to secure a place in the world rankings is hard enough, but it’s even more impressive when a university is under 50 years old.

The complete ranking will be published on June 21 and, as with previous years, Asian institutions are expected to dominate. Last year’s top young university in the world was the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

Of course, there are likely to be several changes since last year, many of which will be due to the fact the ranking only features universities under 50 years old. This means that several institutions drop out of the list each year simply because they have passed the 50-year marker, making space for new entries.

Check how universities performed in last year’s Top 50 Under 50 ranking here or come back on June 21 to see this year’s results.

The Ultimate Guide to Aussie Slang

Submitted by carwills4455@g… on Fri, 06/15/2018 - 16:03

Anyone who’s spent a considerable time in Australia knows that Australian English is more than just an accent; with so many unique Aussie slang terms and expressions, it’s practically become its own language.

Aussie slang and pronunciation essentially involves making words as short as possible - because who has time to pronounce the entire word? Well, this way of speaking actually originated from the idea that Aussies were speaking through clenched teeth in order to avoid blowies (blow flies) from getting into their mouth. Can you think of anything more Australian?

If you’re planning on visiting Australia or have just arrived, these slang words will help you avoid any confusion upon arrival and get through day to day life. You’ll soon be accustomed to the Aussie-English vocab and be ready to jump right into the ‘Straya lifestyle! (See what I did there?)

I reckon

You have likely heard this one. As with British English, it means ‘I think’ or having an opinion about something specific (i.e. ‘What do you reckon we head to the beach after class?’).

Barbie

No, this doesn’t mean a Barbie doll. Meaning ‘barbeque’, this goes with the classic Aussie saying of: “What do ya reckon we throw some shrimp on the Barbie mate?”

How you going?

While Aussies are simply trying to ask how you are, this one makes little sense to me. It’s like they’re trying to combine ‘How are you doing?’ and ‘Where you are going?’— surely it’s one or the other! Nah, the Aussies go by their own rules.

G’day!

G’day mate! The Aussie version of greeting someone is one of the most well-known sayings associated with the country.

Esky

This one will be useful for all those beach barbies, where someone will likely tell you to ‘grab the esky’. Because of the popular Australian Esky brand that sells portable cooler containers, this world means a cooler for drinks and snacks.

Mozzie

In Australia, you will definitely have no shortage of dealing with these pesky insects. Grab the mozzie spray and be on the watch for mosquitos.   

Ripper

While hanging at any popular surf spot, you’ll likely hear the saying “That wave was a ripper!” passed amoung surfers, which means it was epic.

Yeah nah

No

Nah yeah

Yes

Sweet as

This is probably my favorite Aussie slang word, and I catch myself throwing it around on the daily. Meaning ‘sweet’ or ‘awesome’, the ‘as’ is thrown up at the end of an adjective to give it emphasis. Toss up a shaka with this saying and you’ll definitely be praised by the locals.

Ta

Another classic case of Australians shortening everything. Meaning ‘thank you’, ta is usually used for the times when you are in a rush or want to send a quick text to show your appreciation for something.

Chips

They call French fries ‘chips’, but they also call potato chips the same thing? Where does the madness end?

Heaps

Heaps good aye! This means ‘a lot’ or ‘many’.

Arvo

Hey! What you doing this arvo? Before you get confused, someone is probably just asking you what you are up to this ‘afternoon’. Spending a beautiful Sunday arvo on the beach with a bevvy (beverage) is an Australian staple.

Whinge

Don’t be caught whinging while you’re in a country as beautiful as Australia! Instead of ‘whining’, make the most of your time in the land of Oz.  

Bathers

Grab your bathers before you head to the beach! Equivalents include: bathing suit, bikini, swimsuit, etc.

Blunger

Don’t be a blunger! Those associated with this word are generally lazy people who constantly rely on others.

Bush

If you're headed to the bush, make sure you are equipped with plenty of mozzie spray and sun cream. That is, whenever you visit the outback or generally any secluded, forested area.

Coldie

I’m sure you'll be knocking back a few coldies during your time in Australia. Short form for ‘cold one’, this Aussie slang word simply means having a few cold beers with mates.

Devo

Feeling absolutely devo’d by your exam score? No need to feel ‘devastated’, throw back some coldies with a few mates!

Goon

Ah, goon in Australia—the two truly go hand in hand. This cheap (seriously, A$15 for 4L), boxed wine will surely become a staple of your nights out.

Lollies

This means any type of candy or sweets. But wait, what do they call lollypops then?

No dramas!

Meaning ‘no worries’—this is basically the Aussie’s motto for life!

Sunnies

After returning to Canada following a year abroad in Australia, I continued to say this on the daily. ‘Sunglasses’ is simply too hard of a word to say.

Thongs

And our final Aussie slang word is definitely one that could lead to an awkward situation if you weren’t familiar with it - don’t be alarmed if your Aussie friend asks you wear thongs to the beach. Grab your ‘flip flops’ in order to avoid the hot sand on your feet.

如何使用我们的新课程匹配工具来寻找适合您的大学?

Submitted by sabrina@qs.com on Tue, 06/12/2018 - 14:28

我们的课程匹配工具是一个全新的品牌功能,可以帮助你找到理想的课程和大学。

该工具收录了来自英国、美国和澳大利亚的60,000多个课程,完全免费使用,可以帮助你缩小选择范围,并决定申请哪里。

登录的用户还可以将喜欢的课程与大学比较、文章、指南等一起保存到个人档案中(你可以在这里注册)。

如何使用

要访问匹配工具,只需前往发现>网站顶部主导航中的课程匹配工具。

要开始,你需要输入你的课程级别、理想的学习目的地和首选科目。如果你还不确定这些,你可以跳过这些,但请记住,如果你提供尽可能多的信息,结果会更准确。 

然后,你会被带到一个页面,显示所有与你的搜索相匹配的项目--例如,如果你想在英国学习历史学学士学位,结果中有188个项目。

如您所见,目前第一个建议是利物浦大学,但您现在可以向匹配工具提供更多信息,以缩小您的选择范围。

使用结果部分上方的过滤器,说出你认为特定因素的重要性。例如,如果该大学在QS世界大学排名中的表现以及在雇主中的评分(基于对3万多名雇主的调查)对你来说是重要的因素,你可以使用滑块工具来表示,在这些方面得分较高的大学将最先显示出来(你也可以使用滑块来表示任何对你来说不太重要的因素)。

您也可以使用过滤器来表明您对在感兴趣的大学里将与谁为伴的任何偏好--您是喜欢每一个学生配有很多教员的大学,还是喜欢国际学生比例较高的大学?

过滤器的最后部分允许你选择你喜欢的大学是公立还是私立,是大还是小,是后起之秀还是历史悠久--以及你需要的英语语言技能水平,还有你的学费预算。如你所见,经过各种选择,现在我们的首选不再是利物浦,而是伦敦大学伯贝克。

匹配工具的结果可以用三种不同的方式进行排序。如上图所示,默认的视图是将匹配项目数量最多的大学排在第一位,但也可以按照大学在最新QS世界大学排名中的位置以及QS星级的评定来排序(注意,由于QS星级是一个选入式的评定系统,所以并不是每所大学都会有一个评定来比较课程)。

在这一点上,希望结果应该已经向您展示了一个很好的选择范围,您可以开始比较课程了。只需点击大学名称,你就会被带到一个页面,在这个页面上你可以浏览你在该大学的学科课程,以及课程开始日期和每年的学费信息。例如,如果你想去布里斯托尔大学攻读历史学本科学位,这些就是你的结果:

在这里,您可以点击每门课程,了解更多关于它的信息,并将其保存到您的个人档案中,以便日后回顾--它将出现在您个人档案 "您的活动 "部分保存的,任何文章、博客发文或指南的旁边:

瞧,比较课程和大学就是这么简单! 更多的学习目的地和课程将在以后被添加到匹配工具中,以便您更容易找到理想的课程。
