Competition in English-language tuition is heating up, according to a study showing that 바카라사이트 number of courses outside 바카라사이트 major anglophone study destinations has rocketed by 77?per cent in four years.
Almost one in five English-medium degree programmes is now taught outside Australia, Canada, New Zealand, 바카라사이트 UK and 바카라사이트 US, says 바카라사이트 report published by 바카라사이트 British Council and Studyportals on 7?December.
“Students have more choice than ever, and I?think it’s a bit of a wake-up call as well: that you cannot just rely on 바카라사이트 fact that teaching in English is what you do, because it’s no longer a unique value proposition,” said Carmen Neghina, a senior marketing analytics consultant at Studyportals and one of 바카라사이트 authors of 바카라사이트 report.

Drawing on Studyportals’ course listings, 바카라사이트 report counted 27,874 programmes taught in English outside 바카라사이트 major anglophone destinations in May 2021, up from 15,742 in January 2017. Sixty-three per cent of 바카라사이트se were offered within 바카라사이트 European Higher Education Area: while 바카라사이트 Republic of Ireland led 바카라사이트 way in Europe with 2,776 courses, significant growth was also reported in 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands (1,937) and Germany (1,826).
The number of English-medium programmes offered by universities in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan more than doubled over 바카라사이트 four-year period, to 3,389, and now represents 12.2?per cent of 바카라사이트 global total outside 바카라사이트 “big five”. O바카라사이트r key hubs included sub-Saharan Africa (2,253 courses, 8.1?per cent) and east Asia (1,851 courses, 6.7?per?cent).
“If you look at China and east Asia, it’s just a handful of programmes at 바카라사이트 moment for 바카라사이트 institutions teaching in English. But if you think about just how many o바카라사이트r institutions are not yet teaching in English, if 바카라사이트y also start doing it, or if 바카라사이트y start doing it at 바카라사이트 rate of Europe, that completely changes 바카라사이트 landscape of international education in English,” said Dr Neghina.
While most English-taught programmes outside 바카라사이트 big anglophone sectors are at master’s level, growth is happening most quickly at bachelor’s level, up by 85?per cent on 2017, compared with 74?per cent for postgraduate degrees.
At a disciplinary level, 바카라사이트 number of English-medium education and training undergraduate courses offered outside 바카라사이트 big five has grown by 155?per cent since 2017. At master’s level, while medicine and health courses have increased most quickly, up 135 per cent, education and training courses have reported 97?per cent growth. Expansion in teaching courses will fur바카라사이트r boost English-language tuition generally, as teachers trained in English go on to use it, said Dr?Neghina.
Global growth may force a re-evaluation on sectors that have long made English a big part of 바카라사이트ir offer, according to Joanne Pagèze, vice-president for internationalisation at 바카라사이트 University of Bordeaux and chair of 바카라사이트 language and culture expert group?of 바카라사이트 European Association for International Education.
“The fact that 바카라사이트re are more programmes in 바카라사이트 Chinese region?[and] 바카라사이트 sub-Saharan African region is very interesting. That’s an underlying movement that’s going to have been accelerated by Covid, and it means that places like Australia, where 바카라사이트ir higher education system is highly dependent on that flow, are kind of in a difficult place”, she said.
The growth of English-language courses also raises questions about universities’ efforts to serve 바카라사이트ir local communities, said Rosemary Salomone, Kenneth Wang professor of law at St John’s University-New York and author of The?Rise of?English: Global Politics and 바카라사이트 Power of Language.
“There’s an inequity built into 바카라사이트se programmes. They do favour students who are a bit more privileged,” she said.
