Spar Between India and Canada May Aid UK in Higher Education: Industry Experts

Great Opportunities for higher Education in UK: Top University Officials Speak at Hyderabad Event

Hyderabad, October 3, 2023: The recent political differences between India and Canada may lead to the United Kingdom accommodating a higher intake of international students from India, said experts from a top UK university. Responding to a question during a press meet after the launch of the MBA in Healthcare Management coursebook in Hyderabad, international education experts from University of Roehampton London termed the geo-political developments ‘unfortunate’. 

The event was organized by Sanwariya Educational Consultants on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, at the Hotel Park in Somajiguda.

Visiting university officials opined that “although this may be a temporary phase for India and Canada, the developments may push a higher number of students to the UK, as the region is an established premier destination of higher education for Indian students.”

Mr. Guillaume Richard, the Director of Recruitment, Admissions, and International Development at the University of Roehampton, said “in an era where international education is a top choice for young students, the United Kingdom emerges as a premier destination, offering exceptional opportunities for aspiring youth.”

He also underscored the university’s “rich history of over 180 years, boasting a diverse student body representing 145 nations” which creates an ideal environment for academic and personal growth.

Ms. Vidhi Mistry, the Associate Director of Business Development, said the recent developments may divert greater number of Indian students to regions like the UK and Australia, among others. She also detailed various scholarship opportunities and avenues for higher education.

This is particularly important in the post-Covid era, he said while adding that the University of Roehampton is among UK’s top 10 universities, and ranks first in the UK for Law.  He highlighted the academic programs spanning diverse disciplines, including Business, Law, Arts, Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, Life and Health Sciences, and Psychology.
