STUDENT MOBILITY: MOST POPULAR COUNTRIES
Are you thinking of studying abroad? You may be interested to see where you fit into the broader patterns of student mobility worldwide. Have you chosen one of the most popular countries to study in, or are you among those looking further afield?
The results of QS’s global surveys of grad school applicants suggest that more students are considering a broader range of options when choosing a study location. This
reflects broader trends in student mobility – with the ‘big four’ Anglophone destinations remaining among the most popular countries for study, but gradually losing share
in the increasingly competitive international student market.
What are the most popular countries for students? QS asked prospective grad school applicants at QS World Grad School Tour events between 2008 and 2013 which countries they’d most like to study in, and their main reasons for these choices.
Comparing the results of surveys conducted in 2008-9 and 2012-13, the three most popular countries remain the same: the US, UK and Canada. However, all three declined in popularity during this period, as did the fourth big Anglophone destination, Australia. Meanwhile Germany climbed to replace Australia as the fourth most popular choice overall, albeit by a narrow margin.
