Higher education and research have developed rapidly in Asia. Asian universities provide plenty of opportunity for those interested in research.
Recently governments have invested heavily to promote English Language programmes at Asian universities in order to diversify their student body population.
Students apply to specific universities; information can be found on university websites and we have some links on our resources section too.
If you are a citizen of the Asian country to which you hope to apply, you may need to take national examinations before you are admitted to the university. There may also be other restrictions regarding your eligibility. Your embassy can be a great resource for this information.
Asia is a geographically, culturally, and linguistically diverse continent. Think about all the fantastic travel, networking, and social opportunities you will experience!
