6 Brilliant Reasons to Study Abroad in China

A new report published this week by Student.com spotlights China as a fast-growing destination for international education.

The report notes that last year a record-breaking 398,000 international students flocked to study in China, making it the world’s third most popular destination (behind the US and UK).

This rapid rise in popularity can be partly explained by government-sponsored scholarships, as well as Chinese universities’ continued progress in the international ranking tables, not to mention the appeal of learning the world’s most-spoken language.

So, if you weren’t already considering studying abroad in China, here are six reasons why you should!  

The Chinese government has doubled efforts to increase the number of scholarships it offers to international recruits. Last year, a staggering 40% of international students who had recently commenced studying in China received some kind of financial award from the government. 

With 33 universities ranked among the world’s best institutions in the QS World University Rankings® and just under 100 universities in the QS University Rankings: Asia , China’s leading institutions have a growing presence in the international league tables. So if you fancy a world-leading education and a degree on your CV that’s likely to keep gaining prestige in the decades to come, China’s for you.
