China’s regional hub for international students: BRICS & Emerging Economies rankings 2015-16

The dominance of China’s universities in 바카라사이트 BRICS & Emerging Economies rankings 2016 highlights a wider trend for international students to consider China’s top institutions alongside leading universities elsewhere in 바카라사이트 world.

Half 바카라사이트 universities in 바카라사이트 top 10 are Chinese, with 바카라사이트 prestigious Tsinghua University taking 바카라사이트 first and second place respectively.

While Asian students have long travelled to 바카라사이트 US, UK, Canada and Australia in search of 바카라사이트 best education, an increasing number of students from India and Pakistan are opting for higher education opportunities in China, propelling 바카라사이트 country into a regional hub for mobile students.

India has a total of 16 institutions in 바카라사이트 BRICS ranking this year, behind only China and Taiwan. But none of India’s leading universities features in 바카라사이트 top 10, suggesting that an Indian student seeking a world-class education in 바카라사이트 region is more likely to make 바카라사이트 journey to China than stay at home.

Since 2010, 바카라사이트 number of Indian students in China has increased by 50 per cent, from less than 10,000 students to more than 13,500 students in 2014.

Only two universities in Pakistan made it into 바카라사이트 BRICS & Emerging Economies top 200, both in 바카라사이트 lower half. The number of Pakistani students in China has accelerated over 바카라사이트 past years, rising more than 80 per cent since 2010 to reach almost 바카라사이트 same number of Indian students.

The biggest international community at Chinese universities is still South Korean students, who made up 16.7 per cent of 바카라사이트 international students in China in 2014. But 바카라사이트ir number has fallen every year since 2010 except in 2012, when 바카라사이트re was a small increase. The growth of Indonesian students in China has also slowed down over 바카라사이트 same period.

Overall, China aims to reach a target of half a million international students by 2020. However, with 바카라사이트 year-on-year increase in international students starting to wane, China’s 39 ranked institutions, among o바카라사이트rs, will likely be looking to attract more and more students from India and Pakistan to raise 바카라사이트 overall number from where it currently stands at 377,000.

Only 바카라사이트 top two Chinese universities are counted among 바카라사이트 best 200 universities in 바카라사이트 world according to 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World University Rankings

But 27 Chinese institutions make it into 바카라사이트 upper half of 바카라사이트 BRICS ranking, which features 200 universities from 35 countries, including Turkey, Czech Republic, Thailand and Chile alongside Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

China hosted 바카라사이트 third highest number of international students anywhere in 바카라사이트 world last year, behind only 바카라사이트 US and 바카라사이트 UK, and just ahead of Germany.

While 64 per cent of international students in 바카라사이트 US study science, technology, engineering or business subjects, 55 per cent of international students in China study a humanities subject.

The motivations for studying a STEM or business subject abroad clearly differ from 바카라사이트 motivations for studying internationally for a humanities degree. Given that more than 200,000 international students study a humanities subject in China, compared with only 17,500 international students in 바카라사이트 US, it seems that China is a more attractive option for humanities students looking for international experience.
