Why Study in?

A growing number of international students, both from within the region and further afield, are choosing to study in Asia. The continent’s economic and population booms have been accompanied by rapid growth in the higher education sector, leading to ever-more attractive options for prospective students.

Established education powerhouses like Japan and Hong Kong are seeing strong competition from more recently formed university hubs such as Singapore and South Korea – alongside, of course, the ever-increasing might of China. More top universities in Asia are to be found in Taiwan, Malaysia and India, with further opportunities in Thailand and Indonesia.

About

If you’re looking for the top universities in Asia, be sure to check out the QS Asia University Rankings, a dedicated ranking of the region’s leading institutions. Consulting the 2018 edition, you’ll see that the top five universities in Asia are the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU), National University of Singapore, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, South Korea’s KAIST – Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology and the University of Hong Kong. All of these are also ranked among the top 50 universities in the world. However, it’s not just all about Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and China. Plenty more of the top universities in Asia can be found in Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, India and Thailand – all destinations claiming at least one representative among Asia’s top 50.

Education System

Enrollment in educational institutions varies considerably across the continent of Asia. Across the world, Western governments are hard at work making their schools more Chinese. In 2016, the UK Schools Standards Minister, Nick Gibb, announced that over 8,000 primary schools would adopt Chinese-style teaching of mathematics, Less than a year later, publisher HarperCollins announced that it would bring Chinese maths textbooks to British classrooms. The government has also flown in teachers from Shanghai to help improve education. The Chinese, on the other hand, seem to be equally eager to embrace an English-style education. In 2016, Wycombe Abbey, a girls’ boarding school in Buckinghamshire, opened a sister school to students in Changzhou, a medium-sized city in China’s Jiangsu Province.2 Harrow, Dulwich College, Malvern and Wellington had already opened branches in larger cities such as Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu.

Work after Studies

Asia is the world’s largest and most populated continent on Earth. Its countries are ever changing and developing quickly, while its cultures are rich in history. Asia has some incredible landscapes and landmarks, but aside from this, many of its countries are making a name for themselves on the world’s economic platform. The variety of what Asia has on offer is what provides the biggest draw for adventurous students who are looking to continue their education abroad.
