QS Applicant Survey 2018INTRODUCTION
The 2018 QS Applicant Survey Report,
published annually, aims to locate university
applicant motvatons and study decisions in the
contemporary politcal and economic context.
Divergences in candidate decision-making are
ofen linked to the cultural, economic and social
underpinnings of where they are from. This
insight can help universites understand which
destnatons and subject choices are preferred by
students depending on their region of origin, study
level and gender. The report examines applicant
priorites in relaton to insttuton choice, study
destnatons and desired graduate skills.
This year’s results are likely to have been somewhat
infuenced by signifcant politcal changes in the
two biggest host destnatons: the US and the UK.
Restricted freedom of movement and immigraton
control featured in both of these events. Britain’s
vote to exit the European Union preceded President
Donald Trump’s promise to impose a travel ban
on people from Muslim-majority natons entering
the US. Thus, for those seeking an internatonal
student experience in the two most-popular host
markets, uncertainty about unwelcoming attudes,
fees, visa restrictons and post-study work
opportunites have arisen worldwide. Meanwhile,
emerging markets in Asia Pacifc, Latn America,
and Africa and the Middle East, are increasing the
capacity of their higher educaton (HE) systems, to
atract internatonal students, encourage student
exchange and boost economic growth. Last year’s
Applicant Survey Report, ‘Emerging Markets’,
indicated this investment has also signaled growing
demand, and therefore value, in the internatonal
educaton experience. Projectons for rising
tertary-aged populaton (18-22-year-olds), in Asia
Pacifc and Africa will not only infuence student
mobility paterns over the coming decades, but
ensure increased demand in HE overall.
Student mobility is therefore likely on the precipice
of transformaton. Whilst internatonal student
movement has traditonally streamed from East to
West, recent global developments have initated
a shif towards a much more reciprocal fow. The
advancement of HE in the East will coincide with
technology expanding the range and scope of HE
in the West. This year’s survey results certainly
expose the contnued investment in studying
abroad, and although the US and UK remain the
top destnatons overall, Canada and Australia
are increasingly growing in popularity, especially
among applicants in the Middle East. Countries in
Western Europe are climbing in the top destnaton
rankings by region, whilst applicants from the US
and Canada are consistently showing greater
interest in countries within Asia Pacifc.
The data shared is based on responses to the QS
Applicant Survey in the 2016-2017 academic year.
A total of 16,560 responses were collected during
this period. Of those surveyed, 6,715 are applicants
interested in undergraduate (UG) studies,
6,606 interested in master’s courses, and 1,366
interested in obtaining a PhD. UG applicants were
included in the survey for the frst tme this year,
adding enhanced insight and depth to our fndings.
As the global number of students enrolled in HE is
projected to more than double to 262 million by
2025, the inclusion of student preferences of all
levels becomes increasingly important.。
