英国大学即将能够为两年制本科课程每年收取超过13,000英镑的费用，这是政府周五宣布的新计划。

在英格兰大学实行的这些快速课程，总费用将与三年制课程相仿。学生可以在两年内而非三年完成学位，这样他们就能在住宿和生活成本上节省开支。对于那些希望更早步入职场的学生来说，这些更短期的课程无疑是个好消息。

提出的两年制课程方案意味着学生的休息时间将大幅缩短，学习更加集中和高强度，体现了学位进程的快速节奏。这一改变旨在解决学位逐渐失去价值的问题，目前某些课程每周的授课时间甚至不足五小时，学生们还享有漫长的暑假和圣诞假期。

增强灵活性

传统的三年制课程仍将继续提供，使学生可以在两种模式之间自由选择。尽管以往曾有过推行快速课程的呼声，但由于英国大学的学费上限为每年9,250英镑，这些呼声并未得到太多实际响应。

大学部长乔·约翰逊认为，这些新课程可能对成年或处境不利的学生尤其有益。据BBC报道，他预计将向大学领导们表示：“学生迫切需要更加灵活的课程，他们渴望能够在工作和生活中安排学习时间，期待更短的课程能让他们更快地回归工作岗位，并掌握现代职场所需的技能。” 

在更短的时间内保持相同的教育质量？

然而，快速课程也引发了一些担忧，特别是关于学生能否在更短的时间内获得同等质量的教育，以及这是否会给师生带来过大的工作压力。不过，教育部强调，快速学位课程将与现有的三年制课程具有相同的认证和价值。

罗素集团，即英国24所顶尖大学的联盟，也对学习效果产生了担忧。罗素集团代理主任蒂姆·布拉德肖博士表示：“对于研究密集型大学来说，全日制三年学位课程通常是最为合适的选择”，而大学和学院联盟的总书记萨莉·亨特则表示：“我们的大学必须保持其学习的本质，不能变成学术型的血汗工厂。”

此外，这一消息也反映出对英国大学学费不断上涨的担忧。政府在去年12月宣布，从2017年秋季起，英格兰的三年制课程学费将上涨至每年9,250英镑。快速课程的推出将使英格兰的年费用超过许多美国的州立大学。

由 EDHEC Business School赞助

为了支持您对法国北方高等商学院（EDHEC商学院）的研究生申请，不管是什么课程，无论是金融或商业管理的硕士学位，参加一个基于计算机的标准化考试，即GMAT（研究生管理入学考试的简称）可能是明智的。

参加GMAT考试将使你的申请文件脱颖而出，增加你获得录取或获得内部奖学金的机会，或者使你有资格获得专门为国际学生设计的著名政府（和EDHEC）奖学金。

与大多数标准化考试一样，GMAT考试的成功在很大程度上取决于你是否做好了充分准备并熟悉考试形式。为了帮助你发挥你的潜力并在你的梦想课程中获得一席之地，EDHEC商学院揭示了在GMAT考试中取得最高分数的七个内部技巧。

1. 尽早开始。

美国管理专业研究生入学考试委员会（GMAC，负责GMAT考试的组织）进行的一项调查发现，学习的总时数与最终的GMAT分数之间存在正相关关系。

得分在700分及以上的GMAT考生平均花了121小时学习，而得分在400分及以下的考生平均花了75小时准备。

虽然GMAT要求不同，但取决于你申请的EDHEC商学院的哪个项目，2016年入学的学生获得的GMAT平均分数为640分，被录取的学生的分数从550到780不等。

有关EDHEC的GMAT要求的更多信息，请与招生经理取得联系。

2. 下载你的免费GMAT手册!

这本免费的手册是由GMAC制作的，内容包括考试前、考试中和考试后会发生什么，以及非常有用的学习技巧。利用它来了解考试的结构、每个部分的内容、考试当天的情况以及考试时需要携带的物品。

3. 实践出真知。

免费下载GMATPrep®软件。该软件遵循与实际GMAT考试相同的格式和评分标准，旨在帮助你在与考试当天相同的条件下练习考试。你还会得到免费的个性化成绩诊断，了解你的成绩如何以及如何处理问题类型。根据你每个部分的成绩，勾勒出一个学习计划。

4. 聪明地学习。

花一到两周的时间专注于每个部分--即分析性写作、综合推理、定量和口头表达。

你可能想从考试的定量部分开始。虽然GMAT数学相当基础，但你可能会发现，尤其是当你离开大学一段时间后，你需要重新学习你所忘记的一切，这可能需要一些时间! 投资一本专门的GMAT备考教科书可能是一项值得的投资--在网上搜索二手书。

不要忽视口语部分。评估你在练习卷上的表现，并决定你认为哪些问题最难。是句子纠正还是批判性推理？不管是什么原因，试着每天做几道题，涵盖你最纠结的部分。

在考试前的最后几周，尽可能多地进行模拟测试，以适应考试的形式。复习你的错误，以了解什么地方出了问题，避免同样的错误出现两次!

5. 给自己加点节奏。

在进行模拟测试时，尽量模拟考试环境，掌握好时间和节奏。你必须回答GMAT考试中的所有问题，如果你不能及时完成考试，将会受到严厉的惩罚！你必须在考试中保持冷静，把握好节奏。训练自己保持冷静，把握好节奏，在每项任务上花费的时间要有策略。

6. 认真对待细节。

至少在考试前一周，要想清楚后勤保障问题。你将如何到达考试中心？你可以带什么东西？你什么时候吃饭，以确保你的能量水平是稳定的？

记下你的大学的机构代码--EDHEC为3QQWQ01--并带着它去考试中心。要求将你的分数寄给该机构!

7. 休息。

在考试前的最后几天，要确保吃好、休息好，并尽可能多地睡觉，这样你就会感觉到自己处于最佳状态。

同样重要的是要记住，虽然GMAT是你申请商学院的一个重要组成部分，但它只是众多录取标准（如你的职业目标、学术表现和背景）中的一个。EDHEC也接受其他评估测试结果（即GRE、Tage Mage和CAT）。

高分并不能保证在你梦想的商学院中占有一席之地，同样，低分也不会自动取消你的入学资格。

不要把注意力集中在考试上而忽略了申请的其他因素，或者给自己施加过多的压力。投入时间，保持清醒的头脑，你就会取得好成绩。

俄罗斯政府已宣布计划将国际学生的名额增加30％。

这一增加意味着俄罗斯大学将能够接收比往年多出50,000名外国学生，使在俄罗斯的国际学生数量增加到约200,000名。

俄罗斯已成为国际学生日益受欢迎的目的地，特别是来自东南亚和拉丁美洲的学生。因此，许多俄罗斯大学的课程现在已开发出英语和俄语授课的项目。根据教育和科学部的数据，外国学生在俄罗斯大学最受欢迎的科目是医学和生物技术。

除了增加可用名额外，政府还计划放宽签证限制，并提供多达20,000个国家资助的名额给外国学生。学生将由独联体国家、国外同胞和国际人道合作联邦机构，即罗索特鲁德尼切斯特沃选拔获得国家资助。

俄罗斯教育和科学部副部长柳德米拉·奥戈罗多娃说：“我们已经批准了今年增加外国学生名额的提案。近年来，国家在大学基础设施，尤其是国内科学和教育方面所做的投资，使我们有可能发展英语授课项目并培训讲英语的教师。”

考虑在俄罗斯学习的申请者将有多样化的城市和大学可供选择。四个俄罗斯城市最近入选2017年QS最佳学生城市排名：莫斯科(并列第39名)、圣彼得堡(第78名)、托木斯克(第91名)和新西伯利亚(第93名)。在这四个城市中，圣彼得堡和托木斯克因为生活成本低于首都莫斯科而在可负担性方面得分最高。
