Studying abroad for Indians in the current state of affairs
The global sentiment about India seems like it's at an all time low, and all countries are tightening their borders.
I'm a bachelor's student hoping to go for academic degrees once my current course is completed in 2028. But the situation everywhere seems terrible.
Australians don't like Indians, the USA is deporting people right and left, Trudeau has been vocal against immigration, Germany doesn't seem like a good option either.
I want this post to stand as advice for anyone in my situation, which I know there are lots of. Here's a few questions we should answer
How long do we think this situation will last ? Trump is in his last term, and he'll be out of office by 2028. That might change things. However, peoples sentiments take time to change. What countries will open themselves up in a few years, and which will strike down even further ?
Who does this affect ? Is everyone trying to get a pr affected by this ? Or is it actually easier for people in certain jobs, or after graduation from higher institutions in the country of immigration? For example, doctors might face less trouble than remote IT employees, and MIT graduates might have an easier time than state university grads. Perhaps for any competent people working good jobs and following laws, deportation is not such a worry ?
What about Asian institutions. Indians seem to immigrate less to Asia than to the Americas and Europe. There are many top tier institutions in china, Kyoto uni in Japan, hong kong university, NUS and NTU in singapore and lots more. Is living China that sad and dictatorial, or is the normal man happy, and we've all been fooled by western and Indian media propaganda? Maybe the real question to ask is, do people emigrate for education or to leave their country and settle elsewhere?
I'm sure some students have their family consideration too. If someone wants to get their parents emigrated too, what countries allow that easiest ?

Hi Ishaan Gupta,
It's great you're thinking ahead and yes, there's an awful lot of ups and downs on the global stage at the moment and sometimes if can feel very overwhelming!
My advice would be to think more locally as it's often misleading to generalise about a whole country. For example I think you would have good exeriences in London and York but they will be vastly different experiences because the cities are so different. They'd both be positive, just veeery different.
Second piece of advice would be to speak to people who are already at the uni you want to go to. So for York that would mean:
•
Get in contact with our India Team who can guide you through scholarships and moving from the India side.
•
Check out what societies each uni has. For example York has a British Asian, Punjabi, Hindu, Islamic and Sikh society (students are welcome to set up new ones too 🙂 )
•
Talk to actual students on platforms like Unibuddy (we usually have at least one student from India on the platform) where they can tell you the nitty-gritty about everything from international supermarkets to snow to Divali parties.
You're always very welcome to contact us on this platform too. Wherever you go, good luck finding your dream uni 🙂
E.
