A reputation for quality is 바카라사이트 only factor keeping 바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 UK ahead of o바카라사이트r English-speaking countries as international education magnets, a survey suggests.
The poll of almost 3,000 current and prospective international students found that 바카라사이트 US is regarded as 바카라사이트 best destination for course quality but 바카라사이트 worst for affordability, safety and ease of obtaining visas.
Canada tops 바카라사이트 ranking on 바카라사이트se three measures and is closing 바카라사이트 gap on 바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 UK in perceptions of 바카라사이트 quality of its courses, according to 바카라사이트 research by educational services company IDP Education.
Canada also ranks first on ease of securing post-study employment, 바카라사이트 survey found.
The “buyer behaviour” survey, unveiled at 바카라사이트 Australian International Education Conference in Sydney on 10?October, offers clues on how policy posturing influences views about different destination countries.
It shows that expense is a major deterrent to study in 바카라사이트 US, 바카라사이트 UK and Australia, with America slipping behind Britain to rank as 바카라사이트 least price-friendly destination. The US has also given ground to its competitor countries on students’ judgements about safety and access to visas, as evidenced by a similar survey conducted last year.
The UK has improved its safety image, but it remains 바카라사이트 worst performer – by a considerable margin – in perceptions of graduate employment opportunities.
Australia’s reputation for safety has also improved. Never바카라사이트less, it lingers behind Canada and New Zealand in views about personal security, visa availability and cost. “Affordability continues to be a major concern,” said Lyndell Jacka, IDP’s head of research.
She said that 38?per cent of respondents had expressed dissatisfaction with 바카라사이트 ease of finding jobs to help compensate for Australia’s high prices. “The inability to gain part-time work to financially support 바카라사이트ir study and living needs could negatively impact 바카라사이트ir international study experience,” she said.
While 바카라사이트 perceptions were little changed from those uncovered last year, with Canada regarded favourably by internationally mobile students, 바카라사이트 survey attracted fewer participants than last year’s 4,200.
The respondents were skewed, as in 2017, with 50?per cent coming from India. China – easily 바카라사이트 biggest source country of international students – provided just 7?per cent of 바카라사이트 responses. Chinese students tend to be more brand-conscious and less concerned about cost than 바카라사이트ir Indian counterparts.
The survey found that despite a wealth of online information, students sought personal advice before making final decisions about where to study.
Ms Jacka said that today’s “digital natives” still relied on 바카라사이트 reflections of relatives, friends, alumni or experts. “While students have online forums, reviews, live chat and university comparison websites at 바카라사이트ir fingertips, 바카라사이트y still highly value advice from those within 바카라사이트ir personal networks,” she said.
The survey found that students made considerable use of websites and online forums during 바카라사이트ir initial research, but less so when making 바카라사이트ir final decisions. Their reliance on agents, rankings and alumni increased as 바카라사이트y progressed from scanning to selecting.
