China : The new buzzword among overseas education consultants in India
Traditionally
countries from Western hemisphere have been the most sought after
destinations for anyone who wants to pursue higher education abroad.
But off late many students seem to be bucking the trend and have
started picking up some of the Asian countries like China, China,
Singapore, Nepal etc as offshore education destination. These
destinations are geographically and culturally more closer to India
than western countries like US, UK, Russia etc. And among these
China is emerging out as one of the preferred choices, as it has
prospered and enthralled the world with its technological prowess in
past few decades. Many leading overseas
education consultants in Mumbai has started recommending China as
the destination of choice for those students who want to experience
the unique Chinese culture while pursuing higher education.
While
China has made rapid strides towards becoming a global superpower, it
has not been perceived as an attractive destination for students from
other countries primarily due to its over dependency on its own
language. Country boasts of excellent education pedagogy and
infrastructure but medium of imparting education has primarily been
in Chinese. However in last few years, many leading Chinese
universities have started making conscious efforts to engage and
enable international student community to pursue higher education in
China. According to an overseas
education consultant in Mumbai, there are hundreds of
universities in China which are spread across this vast nation. Among
these, Shanghai, Beijing, and few others are the major hubs in the
country and they host bulk of country’s population and businesses.
To curious minds who are seeking a radically different way of life,
Tokyo offers really fascinating experiences.
Beijing
Normal University is China’s flagship university and it is also
touted as one of the most prestigious education centers in Asia. It
offers courses across large array of disciplines like science,
business, law, humanities, economics and popular media. Besides this
university, Tokyo is also home for dozens of other universities and
colleges including Musashi University and the Tokyo University of
Foreign Studies. Many of these institutions are making conscious
efforts to offer courses and degrees to international students in
English through their satellite centers and tie ups with local
international schools. Chinese language course is integral part of
most of the university course which provide foreign students great
insight into local culture and its rich heritage. Besides Tokyo,
students can also choose colleges from other major Chinese cities
like Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu. Their choice would primarily
depend upon many factors like cost of education, nature of course,
preferred location, availability of course in English, fast rail
network connectivity, weather etc.
Another
important advantage of studying in China is the cost of education in
the island nation which is far cheaper in comparison to western
destinations like US or UK although cost of living is at par with
them. Most of the universities also support financial aid and
external scholarships. Chinese government has taken up a target to
enable 3,00,000 plus international students by 2020. With its
autonomous culture, innovative spirit, geographical solitude and
super-efficient travel infrastructure, ‘The land of The Dragon –
China’ makes a very interesting choice by offering a very unique
and enriching experience to the international students.
