Global Ivy League

Guiding students to reach their dreams of attending the best universities outside the US and the UK.

Our mission is to accompany students on this journey and provide them with the resources to secure prestigious admission offers. 

What are Global Ivy League Universities?

As students continue their educational journey, there are many paths to success outside of the Ivy League in the US and Oxbridge in the UK.

Top-ranked universities around the world outside the US and the UK, as we call them Global Ivy League Universities, offer the same level of quality education with a global experience at a much lower cost. 

We use the Times Higher Education (THE) ranking to select Global Ivy League Universities, taking into account factors such as tuition fees, global reputation, career prospects, and availability of English-speaking classes. 

Tsinghua University

THE 2024 Ranking: 12

Recognized as the “MIT of China,” THU has consistently held the top ranking in Asia for years. Well-known graduates, such as Xi Jinping (President of China) and Ren Zhengfei (Founder and CEO of Huawei), have emerged from its esteemed halls. Studying at THU opens up a plethora of opportunities in the world’s largest market, bolstered by its robust alumni network. Scholarships are widely accessible and the tuition fee stands at an affordable rate of US$4k/year, before the generous scholarship factored in.

KU Leuven

THE 2024 Ranking: 45

A hidden gem in Belgium and a rich history dating back to 1425, it is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe. KU Leuven’s reputation for academic excellence, cutting-edge research, and innovation draws students from around the globe. Its location provides easy access to all of Europe, offering students the opportunity to travel. With a tuition fee as low as US$1k/year, what’s not to like.

 

National University of Singapore

THE 2024 Ranking: 19

Renowned for its academic excellence, NUS offers a world-class education with a strong emphasis on research and innovation. Its strategic location in Singapore, a global hub for business and innovation in the wealthiest city in Asia, provides students with valuable connections and career opportunities. Upon graduation, you could start your career with one of the highest starting salary in the world – in Singapore.

Return on Investment

6-9 months

 

Most graduates of Global Ivy Universities will recoup their educational expenses within a short period of 6-9 months.

The tuition fee can be as low as US$1k per year before factoring in any scholarship. Accommodation at a brand-new dorm costs just US$100 per month.

More importantly, the prestigious degree opens up a plethora of exciting career opportunities.

Why Study at a Global Ivy League University?

In an increasingly interconnected world, the pursuit of higher education knows no geographical boundaries. As students embark on their academic journeys, the allure of top universities beyond the confines of the US and the UK presents an exciting prospect. These institutions offer an experience that transcends conventional norms, sparking curiosity and fostering a spirit of exploration. By venturing beyond familiar territories, students can tap into a world of uncharted possibilities, where learning extends far beyond the classroom. 

Global Exposure

Traveling abroad beyond the comfort of own home provides a valuable opportunity to gain global exposure and broaden one’s perspective on the world. By immersing oneself in a different culture and environment, students can develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of different viewpoints, enhancing personal growth and improving cross-cultural communication skills.

Cross Cultural Skills and Networks

Living in a new country offers a chance to improve cross-cultural communication skills, a crucial aspect of navigating a globalized world. Additionally, students can expand their professional network by interacting with people from different backgrounds, building relationships that can lead to career opportunities and collaborations beyond borders.

 

Unique Academic Opportunities

Studying outside the United States provides access to unique academic opportunities and resources that may not be available in the US, such as specialized courses, research facilities, and internship programs. This exposure to diverse perspectives and learning methods can enrich a student’s education and enhance their career prospects in a global job market.

 

In 2050, we project that the world’s largest economies will be China, the US, India, Indonesia, and Germany.

We estimate that China will overtake the US as the world’s largest economy by 2035.
