Student Survey 2026
In summer 2026 we asked prospective international students in India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Gulf what shapes their decision to study abroad. This page will hold the findings when the report is published. Until then, the sections below show the questions we asked and the format the report will take.
Six themes
Cost and scholarships
How much tuition and living costs weigh against ranking and reputation.
Destination choice
Which countries students consider first, and why they drop others.
Research habits
Social media, university websites, counsellors, family: who students actually listen to.
Post-study work
How much visa rules after graduation drive the choice of country.
AI in admissions
Whether students trust automated decisions, and where they want a human.
Safety and community
How much a large community from home matters in the decision.
Be first to read the findings.
We will email the report to universities, partners and students who register interest, on the day it is published. No fabricated numbers appear on this page in the meantime.
