After senior year, it’s senior year.
Architectural design is different from other disciplines. Most other disciplines are four-year programs, but architectural design is a five-year program.
The reason is because we need to be in line with international standards.
According to the Canberra Architectural Education Agreement, China, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, South Korea and other countries recognize each other's professional degrees in architecture.
In other words, if you obtain an architecture degree in any of the signatory countries, your academic qualifications will be recognized in other countries.
According to the requirements of the agreement, to obtain a professional degree in architecture, one must receive no less than five years of higher education. Therefore, the architectural design program in the Mainland is designated as a five-year program.
Xiang Nan was promoted to a fifth year and Zheng Wei was promoted to a senior, both in their last year of college.
"Weiwei, have you thought about what to do after graduation?" Xiang Nan asked Zheng Wei.
"No." Zheng Wei thought for a while, then shook her head, "I just want to spend my last year of college well. Hey, I didn't expect that four years of college would be over in the blink of an eye. I really can't bear to leave."
She felt that she had just entered college not long ago, so she was about to graduate and go their separate ways, so she was not mentally prepared at all.
"Since you can't bear to live on campus, then take the postgraduate entrance examination with me." Xiang Nan suggested with a smile, "Or how about studying abroad together?"
"Azheng, do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination or go abroad?" Zheng Wei asked curiously.
"Yes. There are really too many undergraduates in the Department of Architectural Design. It's difficult to find a promising job, let alone get ahead in this industry." Xiang Nan nodded.
"So it's better to learn more professional knowledge, improve your academic qualifications, and take more relevant certificates, so that you can develop better in the future. This is to sharpen your knife and chop wood."
In the play, Chen Xiaozheng and Zheng Wei were looking for jobs after graduating from college, but it was very difficult. They were forced to go in and out of the recruitment army seven times.
Even entering a listed company like Dongfang Xingchen requires a lot of effort and repeated pleas. And after entering, you have to stay at the construction site for several more years.
In comparison, Ruan Guan, who got a master's degree, easily entered the world's top 500 companies. And you can get promoted smoothly without staying at the construction site.
So Xiang Nan wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination or Ph.D. With a higher education, it will be easier to find a job in the future. Even if you don't work for others and start your own business, having a master's or doctorate title, relevant certificates, and qualifications will be very helpful in attracting customers.
Otherwise, if two undergraduates open a studio, no client would dare to cooperate with them.
…
"Hmm..." Zheng Wei hesitated for a moment.
"Weiwei, are you worried about tuition fees?" Xiang Nan saw this and asked quickly, "It doesn't matter. I will bear all the expenses for postgraduate entrance examinations and studying abroad."
In the play, Chen Xiaozheng did not take the postgraduate entrance examination, but chose to study abroad on a government-sponsored basis, presumably because of the tuition fees. After all, the money for his college education was borrowed from his mother by begging his grandfather and grandma.
But now, for him, tuition is not a problem at all. His current net worth, even if placed abroad, would be considered a wealthy man.
"That's not true. It's just that I haven't thought about the postgraduate entrance examination." Zheng Wei waved her hand and explained, "Azheng, do you think that with my grades, can I be admitted to the postgraduate entrance examination? If I want to go abroad, do I have to take IELTS? , TOEFL?”
"Don't be so nervous. In fact, with your score, as long as you review well, you will definitely be fine for the postgraduate entrance examination." Xiang Nan smiled, "As for IELTS and TOEFL, you don't have to worry, they are not as difficult as you think.
Well, let's do it step by step. Review your homework first, and then take the TOEFL, Graduate Examination, and GRE. Finally, decide which path is better and make a choice. What do you think? "
Zheng Wei nodded after hearing this.
…
In the next six months, Xiang Nan was studying new courses, reviewing old knowledge, preparing for graduation thesis, taking TOEFL and IELTS exams, and serializing. It can be said that he was extremely busy.
Zheng Wei didn't think much about taking the postgraduate entrance examination or studying abroad at first.
However, when Ruan Guan and Zhu Xiaobei in her dormitory were preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, she also firmly decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Now I review with everyone every day to prepare for the graduate exam at the end of the year.
In the play, Zhu Xiaobei had just started his senior year and was expelled from the school because of a conflict with the school security guard.
So not only did she not take the postgraduate entrance examination, she didn't even graduate from college.
But now, Zhu Xiaobei's fate has changed.
She is now a well-known online writer, and her writings are very popular among readers. Her monthly manuscript fees are as much as 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which is enough to support her tuition and life.
Her mother stopped setting up a stall long ago and now opens a shop next to the school. Because the goods are genuine, high quality and low price, the business is very prosperous. Not only do you make more money than before, but you don’t have to be chased by security guards.
Zhu Xiaobei naturally had no conflict with the security guards, and she didn't have to rush to work to make money, so she, who liked learning, prepared to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
…
In the Eryaosan dormitory, all three of them were preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, with the exception of Li Weijuan.
She has long been fed up with this repressive, restrictive, boring, and boring campus life, and is eager to embrace a free, open, and interesting social life.
So as soon as her senior year started, she started looking for a job. To this end, she went out of her way to find spare tires, ex-boyfriends, acquaintances of bosses, etc.
But so far, there hasn't been much progress.
First of all, finding a job and finding a partner are not the same thing. Those bosses are willing to pick up female students, but they may not be willing to recruit her into the company and place a time bomb around them.
Secondly, Li Weijuan's professional achievements are really hard to show. During her four years of college, she was either in love or preparing to fall in love. She simply regarded love as her main job.
This made her academic performance a mess, and she barely passed the professional courses. With such achievements, it is naturally not easy to find a job.
In addition to Li Weijuan, Zhang Zhang, Gong Cheng and Zhou Dalong are also busy looking for jobs.
The three of them also have no desire to learn, and they have basically been messing around in college for the past few years.
You Qi is open, picking up girls, playing games, playing Go, playing poker, he is everywhere, but he rarely goes to the study room and library, so his grades are also a mess.
Originally, he watched Ruan Guan take the postgraduate entrance examination, and he also wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination. But after only two days of reviewing, he knew that he was not the material.
His professional knowledge is in shambles and he has not even passed CET-4 in English. If you still want to take the postgraduate entrance examination with such a level, it is really ridiculous.
So in the end, he had no choice but to go to the job fair with Gong Cheng and Zhou Dalong, hoping to find a job to make a living. But after running for a few months, it doesn’t seem to be ideal.
…
As for Xu Kaiyang, although his grades are also very poor, his father is a well-known building materials dealer in Hujiang, with a net worth of over 100 million and very deep connections. It's really not easy to help my son arrange work.
Therefore, he does not worry about work and still eats, drinks and has fun every day.
As the saying goes, you won’t see mud on your legs until you get out of the water.
Before, Kai Zhang, Gong Cheng, and Zhou Dalong played with him silly and called him brothers, thinking that they were really good friends of the same class.
It was only after graduation that I realized where the gap was, and there was no regret medicine anywhere in the world.
