China should be high on your list of study destinations
The Chinese government has invested heavily in higher education in recent years and is dedicated to creating more ‘world-class’ universities to attract increasing numbers of international students. In fact, the country aims to have 500,000 international students enrolled in its universities by 2020, so you can expect a warm welcome when you arrive.
You can also be sure of value for money, as tuition fees are relatively low in comparison to European countries and the USA. The opportunity to travel and explore the world’s most populous country is another huge draw for foreign students. Many use their study holidays to experience first-hand a history, culture, climate and landscape different from their own. While soaking up the Chinese way of life you’ll have plenty of time to pick up a second language, most likely Mandarin, the most commonly spoken language in the country.
After graduation, your prospects are good, as many employers prefer candidates who already have experience of the Chinese culture and knowledge of local languages.
What’s more, you don’t have to worry about feeling homesick as Shanghai is home to many ‘copycat’ towns. Thames Town is a replica of an English village with cobbled streets and an English pub so you’ll feel right at home.
