and Maths (STEM): Education for
Global Leadership
  • In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of students showing interest in STEM courses. One of the reasons is the lack of qualified STEM graduates who can combat the shortfall of the capable workforce.
  • Every action we do revolves around Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, which is why students, professionals, entrepreneurs, scientists, and technologists from all over the world have recognized the value of STEM courses.
  • According to the experts, now is the right time to develop STEM capabilities in students beyond what is required in a technologically advanced and information-based society.
  • An international STEM degree holder brings a variety of qualities to the table such as the ability to work on a global scale, communicating cross-culturally, comfortable in travelling etc. Such attributes are more valued by organisations which offer the international STEM degree holders an edge over their competitors.
  • Today, wherever discussion regarding innovation and creativity pop up, the STEM professionals are always included. International experience for STEM students always paves way for making connections and growing a network.
  • STEM graduates are in high demand both in the United States and overseas. Students interested in careers in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics may consider pursuing a STEM degree.
