Would you like to study in China? If you do, you have made a life-changing decision and many years later you may remember this day and this moment when you found this link online and clicked on it.
For more than a century, the most popular study-abroad destinations were mainly in the part of the world generally referred to as the West. Until 2011, according to data from The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Asian students accounted for over 53% of students enrolled in Higher Education institutions overseas worldwide. Well, not anymore. New attractive study-abroad destinations in the East have emerged and are now reshaping what was once considered as "all roads lead to the West."
While the number of Asian students going to the West for further studies remains comparatively high, the number of students coming from the West and other parts of the world like Africa to study in Asia has increased astronomically. With China taking the lead as the most popular host country in Asia for international students, more and more institutions of Higher Education have established cooperation with their peers in China. Most Universities in China now have some form of cooperation with other institutions from countries around the world.
