The US is the best-loved study abroad destination by Chinese parents, closely followed by the UK and then Australia, a new dataset from HSBC’s The Value of Education report revealed.
While students turn to part-time work to support themselves at university, their parents take on extra work and borrow money to contribute to their education – but the funding gap is still quite substantial, a new survey by HSBC shows.
HSBC has launched a mobile payment system operating on mobile app and WeChat for Chinese students studying overseas.
Cost is one of the primary reasons why parents are receptive to online degrees, according to a survey in which two thirds said they would consider an online degree for their child if it were the cheaper option.
More than three quarters of parents would consider sending their children abroad for university, according to multinational banking and financial services company HSBC. Parents in Asia are especially receptive to the idea.
