The number of Indian students going abroad for higher studies has increased by 68.79 per cent in the past year, according to data provided by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Education, Subhas Sarkar. As more Indian students are heading abroad for higher studies, Professor Dame Heather McGregor, Provost and Vice Principal, Heriot-Watt University Dubai believes that it is important for Indian students to work on their proficiency in the English language, learn to handle conflicts in respectful manner and develop good communication skills. Yes, indeed, there has been an increase in the number of Indian students choosing to come to Dubai for their higher education. There are several reasons for this: Dubai is one of the most sophisticated and cosmopolitan cities in the world with residents from more than 180 different countries, it is the safest country in the world with a negligible crime rate, has a sizeable Indian population (meaning cultural assimilation for Indian students is easy) and is only a short flight away from home. At Heriot-Watt University Dubai, we have a student population of just over 4,000, and roughly half hold an Indian passport, and this number is growing every year. Post pandemic (and given the incredible benefits it offers), global student mobility has made a complete comeback. For students, it gives them a chance to become more aware globally, become more adaptable and enhance their language and communication skills. It allows them to learn about work and life in an international market and promotes personal development, all of which endows students with the attributes employers look for in candidates.
