ABSTRACT

Section Two of the questionnaire sought information about factors that motivated students to study in China. On a five-point scale from ‘Very Important (1) to Very Unimportant (5),’ respondents were asked to rate the level of importance of each motivating factor. Thirteen potential factors were grouped around four areas of motivation: Financial, Academic, Employment, and Personal. 1 The last question in the section was left open for students to comment on other factors that influenced their decision to study in China.
