Evolving trends in global education: South Asian student perspectives
With one of the largest youth populations in the world and an unrelenting appetite for global learning, Indian students continue to drive international student mobility. Yet, in recent years, policy reforms, stricter visa rules, and shifting immigration pathways in major study destinations have left students and parents feeling uncertain about their future abroad.
Countries that were once considered the top destinations – Canada, the United States, and Australia – are now facing growing scrutiny from Indian students. Fluctuating visa regulations, limited post-study work opportunities, and immigration challenges have caused confusion and unease. This has led to a significant redirection of interest toward countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom, which are increasingly viewed as transparent, welcoming, and student-friendly.
Germany, in particular, has become a favorite choice due to its tuition-free or low-cost education system, high-quality academic infrastructure, and strong employment prospects in Europe’s leading economy. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has regained popularity with its Graduate Route visa, offering students the opportunity to stay and work after graduation. As a result, both Germany and the UK are witnessing a steady rise in applications from India and South Asia, reshaping the global student mobility map.
Amid these changes, Landmark Global Learning Limited has continued to provide clarity and confidence to students navigating this complex landscape. With direct tie-ups with more than 500 universities and colleges worldwide – spanning Canada, the USA, the UK, Germany, Australia, and other destinations – Landmark has built one of the strongest institutional networks in the sector. These partnerships not only expand opportunities for students but also create vital pathways for universities to engage with one of the most dynamic student populations in the world: India.
What truly sets Landmark apart is its student-first approach. Rather than simply promoting one destination over another, Landmark ensures that students receive accurate, comparative insights. Whether it is explaining the UK’s post-study work benefits, Germany’s balance of affordability and employability, or the evolving immigration framework in Canada, Landmark provides professional, structured guidance tailored to each student’s aspirations. In an environment where misinformation is common, this transparency has become a lifeline for many families making crucial decisions.
