The study examines the feasibility of ASEAN countries as graduate study destinations. We use both quantitative and qualitative methods, including a survey of selected doctoral students in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. The results show that only 5% of the total peer groups study graduate programs in ASEAN countries, while 83% study in English-speaking or EU countries. This trend is consistent across STEM and non-STEM academic disciplines. The findings suggest that ASEAN countries should design their education policies to meet international job market standards, increase scholarship amounts, welcome more international graduates, and adopt a more favorable immigration policy to attract more able students from developing nations.

摘要

The study examines the feasibility of ASEAN countries as graduate study destinations. We use both quantitative and qualitative methods, including a survey of selected doctoral students in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. The results show that only 5% of the total peer groups study graduate programs in ASEAN countries, while 83% study in English-speaking or EU countries. This trend is consistent across STEM and non-STEM academic disciplines. The findings suggest that ASEAN countries should design their education policies to meet international job market standards, increase scholarship amounts, welcome more international graduates, and adopt a more favorable immigration policy to attract more able students from developing nations.
