About Asia

The variety of ethnic groups, environments, economies, religions, and government systems in Asia provide cultural experiences for students that are more diverse than any other region on Earth. Asia sends more students to study internationally than any other continent, however, their many highly-ranked universities should not be overlooked. These institutions provide unique opportunities for immersion in a continent that is driving global economic growth. Many of China’s high school gaokao champions enroll in universities in Hong Kong and Japan boasts several highly ranked universities that educate students from all over the world. The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) is world famous and Singapore’s INSEAD is a highly regarded global business school. Many universities in Asia offer degree programs in English which allow language barriers to be easily overcome. With the increasing focus on the knowledge and services sectors in our global economy, coupled with a rich cultural heritage, Asia is an ideal choice for international students.
