When the City Circle Tram changed to the other direction and came to Federation Square again, Yan Yun decided to take a walk along with Lazi.

If Qi Yi just wanted to sit hand in hand like this, it would be better to go to the steps of the square and sit quietly and chat.

"Qi Yi, in the heart of Melbourne, there are many buildings with a special sense of design, all of which are made by RMIT teachers and students, and I can point them out to you later.

At the end of each year, the large screen in Federation Square is contracted to broadcast RMIT's commencement ceremony.

What's more, RMIT's graduation ceremony is a bit of a fun, with the whole school marching through the streets.

It was from the Swanston Street that we had just passed when we went to the movies, and marched all the way to Federation Square. "The way Yan introduced Federation Square was a bit special.

There are many events held in Federation Square every year, and RMIT's graduation ceremony, although it is like a national carnival, is not a real carnival after all.

"What kind of school is RMIT? Is it also a science and engineering school? I've only heard of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Qi also didn't know about Australian schools.

"You are a blatant contempt from the top students, RMIT is the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, not a big school like MIT, and it is not even ranked among the eight five-star universities in Australia. At most, it's a four-star. What I just meant was that at the end of the year, I'm going to be at RMIT. Yan Yun explained to Qi Yi. (Note 1)

"Graduation parade? Aren't you at the University of Melbourne, why did you go to RMIT for the graduation parade?"

"Because I only had an undergraduate at the University of Melbourne. Didn't I tell you in the morning that I was studying for a Master's degree in Fashion?

If you think about it, you will know that the University of Melbourne is an academic research school, how can there be an applied major like Master-of-Fashion?

I studied Master-of-Fashion at the Fashion and Textiles School (Fashion and Textiles School for short) at RMIT.

RMIT is not a very comprehensive university, but if you want to study a more practical major, RMIT is a more suitable choice.

From the perspective of pure industry integration, RMIT's design is stronger than that of the University of Melbourne. Yan Yun continued to explain to Qi Yi why he was at RMIT now.

"I see. I haven't had time to learn about Australian universities and majors, and if you didn't say anything in the morning, I thought that your master's degree was also at the University of Melbourne. Before Yan Yun told him, Qi Yi really didn't think about whether there would be such a problem as Master-of-Fashion at the University of Melbourne.

"You also have such self-righteous times?" Yan Yun asked Qi Yi with a smile.

"It may have been infected by you. Over the years, you have really had enough tosses, from news to architecture, and from architecture to fashion, with such a large span, how did you apply?" Qi Yi, who only studied at Peking University and Stanford School of Mathematics, didn't understand Yan Yun very well how he applied to the school.

"Applying to schools in Australia is much easier than climbing vines in the United States, as long as you can tell the story well in your personal statement and be able to justify yourself. (Note 2)

Many Chinese students come to Australia to study for a master's degree, and no matter what major the bachelor's degree is, they will apply for a master's degree in accounting.

Accounting is a profession in short supply, and immigrants have a high score.

Many accounting majors in Australian schools have been "occupied" by Chinese students.

In some schools, dozens of students majoring in accounting are all Chinese.

If I didn't pay attention for a while, I thought that I didn't go abroad, but the school invited a foreign teacher to teach the class.

For non-accounting undergraduates, there are also different reasons to apply for a master's degree in accounting in Australia.

My mother is an accountant, and although I studied physics as an undergraduate, I have dreamed of becoming an accountant since I was a child.

Or maybe our family is a family business, and I studied chemical engineering as a bachelor, but mainly to facilitate the return to my family's chemical factory as an accountant in the future.

As long as it's not a particularly outrageous reason, it will be accepted. Yan Yun is complaining about a fact.

"It's still like this. Qi Yi'an listened quietly to Yan Yun's complaints.

"Yes, so, when I came to Australia, the major I didn't want to miss the most was accounting.

When choosing a school in China, you usually pay more attention to the ranking of the school.

After arriving here, I found that local students basically pay more attention to the ranking of majors.

When I was about to graduate from my bachelor's degree, I started to think that I was actually interested in the fashion industry.

RMIT's Master of Fashion has two pathways, the first of which is Entrepreneurship, which is the only fashion entrepreneurship course in Australia.

I wanted to pick this at first, but then I hesitated when I found out that the direction was on the Brunswick campus, not the downtown campus.

As a result of hesitation, I think that the gene of entrepreneurship is rooted in the bones of our Wenzhou people.

Then I chose another direction, which is the Master of Fashion (Design) that I am studying now.

If you want to say that the span is large, I also studied a degree in Graphic Design as an undergraduate, visual communication design and fashion design both belong to design, and the requirements for basic skills are the same.

If you think about it seriously, it shouldn't be too big a crossover.

RMIT's Fashion School is one of the best in Australia and one of the top 10 in the world.

It's not the best, but it should serve as a new starting point for me.

Apart from RMIT, there is no other school that offers such a major.

So, I ended up at RMIT's Fashion School and did my current master's degree in fashion design, hoping to work in the fashion industry in the future. Yan Yun and Qi also talked about the reasons why they chose RMIT.

"In the future, I hope to 'deeply cultivate' in the fashion industry...... Qi also repeated Yan Yun's plan for his future.

Qi Yi did not continue to speak.

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you, RMIT in Melbourne is completely like not seeking the best, only the most 'trench'.

At the end of each year, RMIT's graduation ceremony, in addition to the just said Federation Square screen and pedestrian street parade.

The final degree conferment ceremony took place at Etihad Stadium on the Docklands side.

The stadium was named after Telstra when I came, but it was renamed in '09, right next to the terminal of the free tram we were on.

However, the title of this stadium has been changing, so Australians prefer to name Docklands Stadium directly.

This is the only stadium in the southern hemisphere with a roof, and the roof is open for eight minutes, so it can be used as an open-air stadium if it doesn't rain, and it becomes indoor when it rains.

Etihad Stadium has a capacity of 50,000 people, and in addition to famous sporting events, it can only be used by top international superstars for concerts.

Using such a stadium for graduation ceremonies is something that only the RMIT trench can do.

A school graduation ceremony takes place all day from morning to night, and Swanston Street in the city centre is closed for a parade of teachers and students.

The police, who are usually not seen on the road in Melbourne, will come out to maintain order. Yan Yun happily shared some information about RMIT with Qi Yi.

"Oh, I see. Qi Yi responded to Yan Yun's big paragraph just now in very concise words.

"What do you know?" Yan Yun couldn't help but wonder.

"I'll be coming to your graduation ceremony. Qi Yi looked at Yan Yun a little sadly.

Yan Yun has a lot of words, and she wants to say to Qi Yi, and the things she wants to share with Qi Yi have been accumulated for five years.

But Qi Yi's sadness made Yan Yun suddenly not know what he should say next.

RMIT's graduation ceremony is held in December every year and is now January.

Between January and December, there is a whole spring, summer, autumn and winter.

There are eight five-star universities in Australia. The University of Melbourne, the Australian National University, the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales, the University of Queensland, the University of Monash (also in Melbourne, but a suburban school), the University of Adelaide, and the University of Western Australia.

Vine climbing is a somewhat "professional" term that refers to the process by which a person applies to an Ivy League school in the United States. The key to climbing vines is not only academic performance, but also a very beautiful resume.

He has participated in well-known international volunteer organizations, has been a representative and made a speech at various United Nations conferences, and has a special skill.

can be an important part of this resume and successfully climb the vine.

It is rumored on the Internet that some students know all kinds of instant noodles from various countries around the world because they are particularly good at eating instant noodles, and because of this, they have received admission letters from many Ivy League schools in the United States.

It should be considered a half-truth.

It is possible that the admission officer will finally issue an admission letter because of the "skill" of eating instant noodles, but the premise must be that the academic performance and other conditions of the resume have met the admission standards of the school.

Just eating instant noodles is not enough to be a bargaining chip for anyone to climb vines.
