Choices diversified on overseas study

Chinese students are increasingly diversifying their choices of destinations for overseas studies, with more students choosing to go to the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada, a new report showed.

In a multiple choice survey for the annual Report on Chinese Students' Overseas Study, released on Tuesday, while the United States remains the most popular destination for overseas study this year, preferred by 43 percent of the respondents, this was down by 8 percentage points compared with 2015.

US dominance looks uncertain as the number of students inclined to study in the UK rose sharply in 2019, accounting for 41 percent, up 9 percentage points compared with 2015.
