The study abroad sector picked up the pace at the beginning of 2022 after two years of pandemic-inflicted slowdown. Trends point to steady growth in study-abroad applications.
International universities and higher education institutions too have undergone transformation driven by the need to digitalize learning in record time, giving rise to blended programmes. The study abroad space is more vibrant than ever before.
Emergence of new programmes
International preference for educational courses is beginning to shift away from computer science and engineering. Students are increasingly being drawn towards programmes in liberal arts, development studies, culinary arts, urban planning, and architecture, to name a few as these are akin to skilling and provide early employment avenues. Following the pandemic and the increased demand from the healthcare sector, many students are expected to pursue courses in biotechnology, pharmacy, healthcare informatics, and hospital administration.
Due to the increased demand for skilled professionals in areas like AI, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and cloud computing, more students in recent years have chosen to study these subjects at international campuses.
Hybrid Learning
While online learning was the only choice during the pandemic – several learners and institutions have now found a balance between online and classroom teaching. Several pre classes and induction programmes are now online only, and students travel to campuses for core subjects.
Study abroad aspirants must stay abreast of these trends given the huge demand and rush for overseas education. Institutions will test for aptitude and therefore being aware and preparing in advance will be key to longer term success.
Skills Universities are looking for in Potential Applicants:
- A positive attitude toward study
- 2. A passion for the chosen course subject
- 3. An ability to think and work independently
- 4. An ability to persevere and complete tasks
- 5. An inquiring mind
