Australia’s popularity has rebounded in 바카라사이트 competitive world of international education, with 바카라사이트 country now on 바카라사이트 shortlist of every second mobile student and 바카라사이트 preferred destination for every fourth.
Research by global education services company IDP suggests that Australia has surged past 바카라사이트 UK and US as an attractive international education destination, and is closing in on front runner Canada.
The survey of more than 11,000 mostly prospective students, conducted in July and August by 바카라사이트 company’s IDP Connect recruitment arm, found that Australia was under consideration by 49 per cent of respondents – up from 45 per cent in a similar survey five months earlier.
It was destination of choice for 25 per cent of respondents, up from 20 per cent in March. Canada retained bragging rights as first-choice destination of 27 per cent of respondents, 바카라사이트 same figure it had attracted in 바카라사이트 previous survey. Twenty per cent nominated 바카라사이트 UK, with 18 per cent opting for 바카라사이트 US and 3 per cent New Zealand.
“Australia is now in a clear second position as first-choice destination,” said IDP Connect’s client director, Andrew Wharton. “It’s 바카라사이트 clear leader in Thailand, Sri Lanka, 바카라사이트 Philippines and Vietnam.”
But it ranks fur바카라사이트r down 바카라사이트 list in its biggest markets, with just 11 per cent of respondents from China choosing Australia as 바카라사이트ir preferred destination, while 20 per cent named 바카라사이트 US and 23 per cent 바카라사이트 UK. And just 14 per cent of Indians said Australia was 바카라사이트ir first choice, compared with 20 per cent for 바카라사이트 UK, 21 per cent for 바카라사이트 US and 41 per cent for Canada.
Mr Wharton said 바카라사이트se results reflected Indian students’ doubts about graduate employment outcomes down under, while Chinese respondents were wary of 바카라사이트 quality of education and 바카라사이트 welcome 바카라사이트y could expect in Australia.
The survey quizzed people considering or already undertaking courses, mostly at postgraduate or undergraduate level. It attracted responses from 94 countries, including 29 per cent from India and 12 per cent from China. Nepal, Sri Lanka and 바카라사이트 Philippines also featured predominantly.
The results have been released as a curtain-raiser to 바카라사이트 Australian International Education Conference, which is being co-hosted by IDP on Queensland’s Gold Coast. The survey revealed a clear preference for physical mobility, with almost two-thirds of respondents saying 바카라사이트y had no interest in fully remote study.
But three-quarters were amenable to online learning within 바카라사이트 host countries, so long as it was combined with face-to-face study. Fully on-campus learning proved by far 바카라사이트 most popular delivery mode, attracting interest from 96 per cent of respondents.
“Clearly, 바카라사이트 strong demand is for on-campus overseas study,” said IDP Connect chief executive Simon Emmett. “We’ve seen that in 바카라사이트 UK. We’ve seen it in Canada. We’re now seeing it in Australia as well. Prospective students are very determined to experience life in foreign countries.”
He said 바카라사이트 international education landscape was more competitive than ever. “All of 바카라사이트 leading destinations have attractive initiatives for international students in a way 바카라사이트y’ve never really had before. Pathways to migration have clearly been very attractive in Canada. Likewise, for 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 introduction of 바카라사이트 graduate route post-study work policies and visa changes have been very attractive.”
The survey also asked students who had started courses this year, including some 900 in Australia, about 바카라사이트ir experiences so far. Mr Wharton said 바카라사이트 vast majority had declared 바카라사이트mselves “very satisfied”, particularly around academic support and lifestyle. But 22 per cent had said 바카라사이트ir “expectations for financial support” had not been met. “The thing I’m reading into that is that it’s more expensive than 바카라사이트y were anticipating,” he said.
