5 Reasons Why Chinese Students Choose to Study Internationally

Although China’s education industry is the largest education system globally and is an essential component of its tertiary sector, many Chinese students are still choosing to study abroad. 

Here are 5 reasons why Chinese students choose to head overseas for their university education plus the top 3 countries preferred by them. 

 

1. Secured future employments 

In recent years, we have seen a trend towards students working in the studying country before heading back to their home country. By doing so, Chinese students believe that overseas education will enhance job prospects and career development. 

 

2. An elevated experience

The opportunity to experience a variety of languages, mouthwatering cuisines and different customs is exciting for newcomers. By absorbing a new cultural environment and learning from a different educational system, many students feel they have a more enriching experience than studying in their home country.

This leads to most Chinese students deciding to study in another country to develop a better understanding of other cultures and gain a wider mindset - especially if they worked in a global company. 

 

3. Preparation for immigration and working abroad

While preparing to study abroad, many Chinese students intend to move to the country they are currently studying due to factors such as a better livelihood and career pathways.

Usually, in the final year of their studies, these students would make an effort to scout job offers that matched their degrees. 

However, because of certain countries strict application processes and eligibility requirements, they'll prepare for the immigration process beforehand.

 

4. The opportunity to meet a diverse range of people

Experiencing the opportunity to make friendships with people from all around the world, from Japan to Switzerland, is a memory worth gaining as you study abroad.

Anyone can relate to studying, living and travelling with a diverse range of people – creating an international network of life-long friends and even calling themselves a family when you missed yours in your home country. 

 

5. Learning new languages

By studying in an English-speaking country, Chinese students can learn and improve their language skills. They can quickly pick up the new language and improve their grammar and vocabulary faster than if they had stayed in China.
