International Institute of the Year - 2016
Studying abroad is no more a distant dream. Earlier, if it was an extraordinary achievement, now with the growing time, it has become the vital ingredient of career progression. Hence, now there is a rapid increase in the number of students going abroad. With this, students learn new cultures and get to integrate with the new societies. Getting used to a foreign culture will develop you overall as an individual, as you understand how different people across the globe view the world in different ways. Studies provide an exposure to a new culture and lifestyle and it is one of the events that significantly leave a footprint in each person's life. The improvement of communication and transportation has made such an experience much easier than it used to be in the past. Through communication with native speakers in abroad, a person gains more knowledge about the language and gets more confidence using it. Living far away from home without relying in parents, family and friends helps a student to improve his character and tackle new challenges. Students get more marketable to potential employers just after their studies abroad and this experience will be valued as much as the academic grades and the qualification.
Thousands of Indian students are studying abroad and with every passing year, the number seems to be increasing. According to surveys conducted USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand have been the four most popular destinations for students going abroad and the recently released study shows that of the 360,000 Indian students studying overseas. Most Universities offer study options that are research informed and highly relevant to current industry expectations and standards. The Universities also have connections with the industries, which helps the students in finding employment at the right time and even helps in providing internships during studies for an added experience as well. However, in this highly globalized world, we cannot expect a world-class education from any random degrees at abroad.
We at the Higher Education Review understand the concerns of Indian students who are looking for higher education opportunities available outside India. Under the title, ‘International University/ Institute of the year 2016,’ we have identified some of the best universities and colleges around the world where Indian students can pursue their higher education dreams. We sincerely hope that our efforts will assist large community of students who dreaming about studying abroad, but oblivious about the right campus to choose.
