The official Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) portal continues to publish quarterly international student application data from around 200 countries, reflecting steady international demand.

Singapore Universities Have Active 2026โ€“27 International Admissions

Singapore remains a top destination for international students with world-class universities and clear admissions schedules for the 2026โ€“27 academic year. Nanyang Technological University (NTU) lists AY2026/27 undergraduate admission windows across applicant categories, with key periods running up to 19 March 2026. National University of Singapore (NUS) states that applications for international qualifications for AY2026/27 ran from 3 December 2025 to 23 February 2026, with most outcomes expected by July. International students can also explore scholarships such as the NUS International Undergraduate Scholarship, NTU undergraduate scholarships, and the ASEAN Scholarship (for eligible ASEAN applicants).

Germany Records Over 420,000 International Students

Germany continues to strengthen its position as one of Europeโ€™s leading study destinations. DAAD reported in December 2025 that around 420,000 international students and doctoral candidates were enrolled at German universities in the 2025/26 winter semester. For 2026, official German guidance confirms that international students from third countries may work up to 140 full days or 280 half-days per year (or up to 20 hours per week during the lecture period). Germanyโ€™s official study visa guidance also states that students can prove funds via a blocked account of at least โ‚ฌ11,904 in 2026.

Spain Reports Record Growth in Study Permits

Spain is becoming increasingly attractive for international students. The Spanish government announced in February 2026 that study permits granted for students and their families increased by 93% over the last decade, rising from 61,570 in 2014 to 118,947 in 2024. Official Spanish consular guidance confirms that studies of more than 90 days require a study visa, while shorter study stays do not require one (depending on nationality and short-stay visa rules). Students are also increasingly drawn to Spain for its expanding English-taught programmes, lifestyle advantages, and growing European academic pathways.

Poland is actively working to attract more international students as universities seek to offset demographic decline. Authorities are also modernizing immigration and residence procedures through digital systems, making future application processes more efficient.
