We know the immeasurable value of studying abroad. But, we also recognize that the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) will impact many students' plans to look abroad for higher education opportunities.
You may be confused or worried about what COVID-19 means for you and your study abroad plans. We wanted to get an idea of how other students are faring in order to help you make decisions about your own study plans for the future.
Based on the 2,500 responses to our recent survey, here are some interesting statistics about how COVID-19 has impacted prospective and current students studying abroad.
Just under half of students would be interested in an international education online. Given that a vast majority of our student database tend to enquire about study abroad opportunities where they physically go abroad, these responses demonstrate a remarkable interest in studying abroad virtually. The significant interest from potential students in studying abroad online speaks to the significance of universities' existing distance learning options. Furthermore, it may illustrate a potential uptick in distance learning applications in the future.
Students currently abroad continue to prioritize their learning, with a whopping 68.2% of them wishing to continue their education either online or with virtual classrooms. Universities with the capabilities to offer online learning should consider how much value international students place on their study abroad experiences - no matter where they're located
