Which countries are more welcoming to International Students from Asian Countries?

More and more students are finding themselves migrating from their home countries to various parts of the world in search of quality education and work opportunities. The Asian community is taking the world head first to prove the extremes of our intellect and capabilities. However, a big part of moving away from home is being able to find someplace that is accepting and open to being diverse, in an age where racism should be eradicated but really has just become more internalized. 

Many countries have made an effort to be more diverse to international students and go as far to offer them a wide range of facilities that they may need. These include scholarships at some of the best universities in the world, funding from local sponsors, funding from the government, and sometimes even special work opportunity offers. 

There are many countries who have strived to diversify their community, which in turn gives them benefits such as better international relations, and more economic growth too. Some of these countries are listed below: 

• USA: The United States is internationally acclaimed for having such a high quality of education which could be said to be unmatched.

• UK: The United Kingdom is known for providing the perfect environment and atmosphere needed for education and work. In return, for the high prices one needs to pay for the universities here, they offer back education so superior and exceptional, along with never-ending prestige and history.

While they don’t exactly offer scholarships, the UK is very inviting to foreign talent whenever possible.

It’s not uncommon to understand the sheer brilliance and intellect that China and its universities are able to engineer, with the full support of the government and all its citizens, and how they’re able to be the first in achieving everything and anything long deemed “impossible”. The quality of education, research and discipline is probably the reason why China is at the top of its game. As an Asian country itself, China is very welcoming to international students, especially other Asian communities, with its C9 League and other universities offering the best to the best. The government often develops schemes to invite international students by offering funding for those students who do venture their grounds.
