ICEF Monitor – Survey says employment prospects the key for postgraduate applicants

---

5 Apr 2016

Here are the highlights:

• A global survey of international postgraduate applicants finds that employment concerns are figuring more prominently in the decision making of prospective master’s and PhD students
• Depending on global region, students may give greater (or roughly equal weight) to the institution’s reputation in a specific field of study as opposed to overall institutional standing
• Other key considerations for postgraduate applicants include the international recognition of advanced degrees earned abroad, cultural interest and lifestyle factors, and affordability
