Earlier, the US continued to be the most popular destination for Taiwanese students, followed by Australia, Japan, the UK, and Canada, according to the most recent data available on the MOE website; the UK has become the most popular one. The number of students studying in China has also increased quickly; in 2017, there were 2,567 registered students, almost twice as many as there were in 2011.
With 3,685 Taiwanese students enrolling at UK institutions in the 2021/22 academic year, the UK is now the fourth most popular destination for Taiwanese students, after the US, Australia, and Japan, according to the Taipei Representative Office in the UK.

The second consecutive year of development, Taiwan had a very promising year with a rise of 7.5%, according to the Q3 2018 UKVI data on tier 4 (T4) student visas. By the deadline in January 2019, Taiwan had submitted 410 UCAS applications, an increase of 11% over the same period the previous year (when only 370 applications were submitted). Taiwanese applicants to undergraduate programs in the UK have increased dramatically over the years, from 240 in June 2009 to 460 in June 2018 (+92%).
Parents, professors, and students have expressed worry over the new admission procedure for Taiwanese universities, which has created confusion in recent times. This might indicate that more parents would think about taking their kids overseas to study this year. We anticipate seeing an increase in Taiwanese applicants by the end of June UCAS deadline.

The UK's top business studies programs are the Masters in Management (MIM) and Masters in Business Administration (MBA). Management graduates are the most in-demand employees in the majority of organizations around the globe. Several of the world's most successful CEOs are MBA or MIM graduates of prestigious UK colleges. Every year, the majority of Taiwanese students enroll in this specific program.
What modifications have been made to the UK's student visa policy? The UK recently changed its policies on student visas. International students participating in postgraduate research studies will not be permitted to enter the nation with their dependents or family members starting in January 2024.
Regarding free healthcare, education, and a diverse culture, the UK and Canada were placed equally. Based on Numbeo's cost of living index, the UK has a higher cost of living than Canada. However, Canada offers easy PR applications with liberal regulations, as well as strong work and professional progression opportunities.
In contrast to other nations, university life in the UK isn't limited to lecture halls and classrooms. Frequent field trips, visits, and outings can help kids learn faster by allowing them to apply what they have learned to actual circumstances.
