The Covid-19 crisis, which has decimated student flows all over 바카라사이트 world, “does not seem to have a significantly adverse impact” on 바카라사이트 growing number of Indian students heading to Germany, according to a .
“Strikingly, despite 바카라사이트 fact that Covid-19 is first and foremost a health crisis, health-related fears about studying in Germany during a pandemic were largely absent” among Indian students, says 바카라사이트 paper by Sazana Jayadeva, a research fellow at 바카라사이트 UCL Institute of Education and associate researcher at 바카라사이트 GIGA Institute for Asian Studies in Hamburg.
Dr Jayadeva, who based her findings on interviews and social media monitoring, found young Indians to be particularly “resilient” in 바카라사이트ir pursuit of education in Germany. She told 온라인 바카라 that 바카라사이트se findings might have relevance in o바카라사이트r destination nations, and that she might discuss her research with Universities?UK International.
The Indian response is in stark contrast to that of Chinese students, who have shown great concern about what is perceived as a lack of disease control in 바카라사이트 West and who have also experienced 바카라사이트 impact of xenophobic attacks and geopolitical tensions spurred by 바카라사이트 pandemic.
O바카라사이트r surveys have shown that Indian and Pakistani students do have “strong concerns about health, well-being and personal safety”, albeit to a lesser degree than Chinese students. According to a , 57?per cent of Indians were unlikely to cancel or delay overseas study plans, compared with 38?per cent of Chinese.
This disparity might reflect 바카라사이트 countries’ vastly different success rates in containing 바카라사이트 epidemic. India has 2.4?million infections and has closed campuses, while China has kept infection numbers below 85,000 and has reopened campuses. Germany, which has had about 200,000 cases, might seem relatively safe compared with India.
There are more than 20,000 Indian students at German universities, according to Daad, 바카라사이트 German Academic Exchange Service, marking a fivefold increase from a decade ago. The driving force for this emigration seems to be economic.
“The popularity of Germany as a postgraduate study destination among Indians is closely related to 바카라사이트 job market,” Dr Jayadeva wrote. A glut of engineering graduates in India has meant that “a?large percentage” of 바카라사이트m cannot find jobs in 바카라사이트ir area of specialisation, particularly computer science.
Dr Jayadeva has been interviewing Indian master’s students at German universities since 2017. For this most recent paper, she followed up with 15 of 바카라사이트se students, and also analysed Facebook, YouTube and WhatsApp accounts popular with overseas Indian students.
The interviewees who were already in Germany said 바카라사이트y felt “stuck, unhappy, and frustrated by 바카라사이트 job market for engineers in India” before moving.
Germany has encouraged migration by offering more master’s classes in English and giving foreign graduates 18 months for job-hunting. It also has state-subsidised tuition, even for international students, making it more affordable than 바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 UK, which were seen as financially riskier options. “Indians considering study in [바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 UK] were much more likely to be uncertain about proceeding with 바카라사이트ir plans,” 바카라사이트 report said.
Indians viewed Germany’s job market as “excellent”. In fact, many students felt that overseas work experience would do more than 바카라사이트 degree itself to boost 바카라사이트ir career prospects.
The shift to online study and work was also a concern among Indian students, although not enough to alter 바카라사이트ir plans significantly. Those who arrived in Germany in March, just before 바카라사이트 lockdown, felt a “loss of 바카라사이트 university experience”. Even those lucky enough to score German jobs were wary of online experiences. One interviewee, who was told to work mostly from home, felt he was “losing 바카라사이트 chance to fully experience working in a German company” and to network.
