Top 5 Countries In Which Nigerians Study

By ScholarFare Nigeria

---

The appeal of an international education has seen the number of Nigerians studying abroad increase year on year. The merits of studying abroad which include superior educational quality, international networking, exposure to diverse cultures among others have been pointed out to increase the self-worth of a student upon completion of his/her degree.
In this article, we take a quick look at the world’s top 5 western countries which experience the highest influx of Nigerian students into its universities.

1. UNITED KINGDOM

Nigeria has the largest number of students from Africa studying in the UK and third largest in the world behind China and India. This report is according to UK Council for International Student Affairs which records the population of Nigerian students studying in the UK at an approximation of 18,000 yearly. The reason for the UK being the most preferred destination for degree seeking Nigerians is not far-fetched, as a UK degree is globally recognized and the international experience cities like London, Manchester and Birmingham have to offer are second to none.

2. UNITED STATES

The US has long been an attraction to students from all over the world. An estimated 8,000 Nigerian students study in the US yearly. US institutions are heavily funded and about a third of the world’s top 100 universities are situated within. The US also ranks high on the list of study abroad countries because of the surfeit amount of scholarships, assistantships and waivers offered to foreign students.

3. CANADA

Canada has witnessed a steep rise in incoming oversea students within the last decade. This is owing to the fact that it is home to a number of the world’s top universities such as University of Toronto and University of Waterloo. Her lenient immigration laws are another contributing factor to the inrush of students from all over the world, Nigeria inclusive.

4. AUSTRALIA

Australia has become a new favorite for Nigerian students seeking a top quality international education. This is no mean surprise being that firstly, her official language is English; secondly, she is home to several of the world’s topmost universities and thirdly her immigration rules are not as stringent as other developed countries of the world. Though tuition fees can be quite high for international students, a lot of Australian universities do compensate for this with waivers, grants and scholarships for deserving overseas students.

5. GERMANY

Germany was once an afterthought on the list of preferred study destinations for Nigerian students but that trend has slowly reversed with modifications to Germany’s educational maxims. A good number of programs are now taught in English, tuition fees are among the lowest in Europe and she also offers post-employment promises if you can pick up the German language quickly. Germany is also respected globally for the quality of its engineering programs therein a lot of locally trained engineers from Nigeria do travel to Germany to get advanced training in core engineering practice.

Well, nairalanders and Nigerians are not exactly the same thing. The OP made reference to Nigerians (a much more broader bracket).
