Asian Countries With top Higher Education  

For a long time, we have known the west to be the center of quality education, but things have changed drastically in recent times. Today, migration to Asian countries for educational purposes has significantly increased. The reasons for the change are multi-faceted but are largely attributable to the economic development of many countries. Many Asian countries, today, have become among the fastest-growing economies in the world and offer a high standard of living, friendly culture, multiculturism, high employment rate, and an excellent healthcare system. Hence, there is a spike in student migration.

Of course, many Asian countries are quite good when it comes to higher education. But, a few of them are on par with those in the west. These countries are home to many top-charting universities in the world. What are those countries? Let us find out.

Over here, you shall know about 5 countries in Asia where Higher Education is the best.

  1. China
    If you have been keeping tabs on international rankings, then you will know that Chinese universities are often among the top in the world. China is one of the most popular non-English speaking nations for education. Being the largest economy in the world, it has invested a great deal of money in the establishment of a cohesive and robust network of higher education institutions backed by research activities. Its capital city, Beijing, and the bustling city of Shanghai have been consistently ranked among the most student-friendly cities in the world.
  2. Taiwan
    The world owes a great deal to Taiwan for the country’s contribution to the field of science and technology. While it is known to be popular among the students of science and technology, students from all kinds of academic streams apply to its many universities. A key reason for the Taiwanese popularity is its open culture that encourages gender equality and democratic freedoms, and these values are very much manifest in the many universities it manages. What makes it all the more attractive is the fact that it offers an affordable lifestyle despite being a highly advanced economy! Also, you will get the taste of a delectable blend of the modern and the traditional Chinese lifestyle.
  3. Malaysia
    Affordability is one of the key concerns of international students, especially those who come from developing countries. Malaysia, therefore, is an eye-catching option. It is already renowned as a major tourist destination in Asia but has been progressively gaining a reputation in terms of educational opportunities. In order to catch up with its more popular counterparts in Asia, it has begun partnering with many prominent universities from the west for the establishment of their branches in the country. Moreover, Malaysia is known for its scenic landscape, towering buildings, glittering cityscapes, and low cost of living. While it does carry its conservative culture along, it has become quite accommodating to the interests of international communities. Its iconic capital city, Kuala Lumpur, is among the most student-friendly cities in the world.
  4. Japan
    One of the most remarkable features of Japan’s popularity among students is the fact that students are willing to deal with substantial linguistic barriers. The Japanese Higher Education is largely conducted in the local tongue yet international students from all kinds of backgrounds are willing to take extra pains to come here and study from some of the best faculties in the world. The country is an economic powerhouse, has its universities among the world’s top-ranked, observes a very high standard of living, and offers a unique culture that has now grown into shinnichi or Japanophilia. Japan is generally an expensive country, but the cost of education is still less than that in the west.
  5. South Korea
    The final entrant on the list is South Korea, which is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. Much of its popularity is credited to its advanced technology, popular tourism industry, and the Hallyu wave, South Korea has emerged as one of the major centres of education in the world. It has started taking active steps towards the implementation of a more student-friendly atmosphere for international applicants. Many courses are being offered in English now which act as a great incentive to those who are not well-versed with the local language or do not want to study it in any way. Its capital, Seoul, has become a popular destination among students, especially due to the presence of the highest-rated university in the country, Seoul National University.
