Techies turn to academics. Why study in UK?

The economic slowdown seems to be a blessing in disguise for the software professionals and BPO employees, who are now pursuing academics despite been laid-off by companies.

As a result, foreign universities have seen an increase in the number applications this academic year. Many of the international universities in  the present academic year has witnessed a two-fold increase in the number of applications. Apart from the rise in the number of applications for the postgraduate courses, the quality too has increased says.With the number, the quality of applicants too has gone up. Many applicants also possess Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores.

“I planned for my MS a few years back. As I was offered a job just after completing my BE, I was unable to pursue postgraduate programme of my choice. But now, by the time the markets improve, I will be able to complete my postgraduate studies and will be placed accordingly in a better organization too” pointed out Prakash, a senior software engineer from Infosys.
