By Teru Clavel. Japan’s efforts to increase the number of international students coming to its shores are being dwarfed by similar initiatives in neighboring China. Lofty goals such as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s plan to attract 300,000 foreign students by 2020 appear to be struggling to gain traction. More...
By James Glenday. The University of Sydney says nearly a third of its domestic undergraduate students will get scholarships if the proposed shake-up of higher education passes the Senate, giving universities the power to set fees. An average three-year degree at some prestigious institutions might soon cost about $48,000, a big increase compared with the current price of many degrees. More...
By Lamphai Intathep. Universities have been asked to disclose graduate employment rates for fields of study as they launch recruitment drives, to better align supply of graduates with market demand.

By Yojana Sharma. A new plan to lure foreign students with generous scholarships by China’s eastern Jiangsu province, host to a number of foreign branch campuses, has sparked anger in the province over resources being directed towards “wealthy foreigners” while Chinese students struggle with a rising fee burden.

By Beckie Smith. The UK’s Business Secretary Vince Cable has announced that the 2015 intake for GREAT scholarships for Indian university students to study in the UK will cater for 396 students, in an attempt to signal that the UK is ‘open for business’ as incoming Indian international student numbers plummet.
