Canada was crowned the top study abroad destination in a recent survey.
Canada is the top study abroad destination during this pandemic, according to international students. It was ranked first for the second consecutive year in educations.com’s 2021 rankings “Top 10 Places in the World to Study Abroad,” beating the US and the UK.
Over 2,700 international students participated in the survey, which also revealed that many students said they choose country first over a university or specific type of programme, according to Study International.
The rankings are based on seven factors, including: access to quality teaching, ability to help students achieve their career goals, personal development, experience a new culture or lifestyle, have an adventure, learn a new language and make friends and widen their professional network. Educations.com is an online platform that provides relevant information on study abroad options.
Australia is a close second, followed by Germany, the US and the UK. Five other EU countries roundup the top 10: Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Denmark. Just two years ago in the 2019 rankings, Canada was ranked fourth while New Zealand was ranked first.
