8、r to go abroad to study?Student-friendly placesThe British Council has named the universities that are most welcoming to overseas students. As you would expect, English-speaking countries such as Australia, the UK and the US have made the top 10, but the number one may be a surprise: Germany. Two Fa
9、r Eastern countries, i.e. China and Malaysia, made it to the top 5, ranking higher than the US, Japan, Russia, Nigeria and Brazil.The benefits of studying abroadRussell Howe, a Scot who is currently studying a Business degree at Stellinga International College in the Netherlands, previously also stu
10、died in India (which came 11th on the list). People often ask me why I needed to travel, because British universities have a good reputation elsewhere in the world. But this is not something I needed to do, but something I really wanted to do. I have learnt different ways of looking at things, but I
11、 also found out how much we all have in common, wherever we are from. All of this will be useful in my future career.Russell is not the only international student in his department. Business and administrative courses are the most popular with international students, followed by engineering and tech
12、nology, social studies, creative arts and design, medicine-related topics and law. Manal, a student at the Faculty of Art and Design at Stellinga, says she has similar reasons to Russell, but there is more: I wanted to broaden my understanding of the world. I have enhanced my language skills: I am m
13、ore fluent inEnglish and have also taken a level 1 Dutch evening class. One of my modules is about European art, and I believe that I am benefiting more from studying this in Europe than anywhere else. I have managed to visit other countries in my holidays, and really feel that this whole experience
14、 is developing my global perspective. I also hope that I have made lasting friendships and contacts.Enabling student accessWhat is it that makes these countries student-friendly? Well, all of them make it easy for international students to apply, and provide ongoing support once they are there. They
15、 also offer good quality degrees, which are valued highly in other countries too. The fact that Germany came out as winner is probably due to the countrys efforts towards internationalization. One aspect of this is that the country welcomes foreign students by charging them the same fees as home stu
16、dents, meaning that in some universities overseas students study for free. Many classes are conducted in English, and so are most leaflets, making it easier for international students to keep informed and take part in student life. Apart from the financial reasons already mentioned, this type of edu
17、cational internationalization can help with the quality of research in these universities, through e.g. networking, team work and the sharing of skills. For students, it is a valuable addition to their skills and experience at a time when jobs are not easy to find.Part 3: HomeworkQuestions 1-11Using
