Postgraduate Taught Global Update as of September 2025

Our unique Pulse trackers and Share of Search data provide insights on thousands of prospective students interested in Global Masters study opportunities. As of September 2025, we’re seeing that:

• Despite falling interest for much of 2025, the USA is once again the most sought after study  destination for Asian and African audiences - it also places 2nd for North Americans. Interest in Italian Masters study grows from North America, Asia and Africa, while interest in Germany continues a subtle fall from all tracked audiences.
  
  
• Asian and African audiences (once again) see a shift even further towards On Campus study, with at least 85% of both audiences preferring it. Western audiences (Europe and North America) are much more likely to seek flexibility.
  
  
• Audiences for all tracked destinations are once again seeing entry point interest shift from Autumn 2025 to Spring 2026 - in fact, around half of those seeking each destination are now targeting Spring 2026.
  
  
• Interest in fields of Nursing & Healthcare continues to grow significantly from those seeking to study in Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands.
