☆ Japanese universities

今回は教育についての最終回。
大学についてです。
日本とオーストラリアでの大学生活、
かなり違うようです！

Many Japanese students have traditionally
considered their university time to be more
social than academic. These days the
demand for graduate education is increasing.
This is because of globalization, which
started in the mid 1990s. When I was at
university in Australia it was a serious time
for me. I did a double major and submajor,
so there was lots of researching, reading
and writing to do. The university teachers
in Australia expect their students to
study at least 10 hours per week on each
subject. Exams are extremely competitive
and stressful too. Not everyone graduates
from university in Australia. There is a high
drop-out rate of students in their first year,
in the first semester.

日本と海外の大学では

オーストラリアでは勉強が大変なようです。
