These countries have the most doctoral graduates

Education is key to economic growth.

And tertiary education in particular, is at the heart of the innovation that we see around us. New discoveries such as MP3 and GPS technology would never have happened were it not for PhD research.

Countries are investing in their higher education systems, and more people than ever before are completing doctoral degrees. But which country has the most doctoral scholars?

The US beats the rest hands down

According to an OECD report, the US has at least twice as many PhD graduates as Germany, its nearest rival.

In 2014, 67,449 people graduated with a PhD in the US, compared with 28,147 in Germany. Next in line is the United Kingdom, which just pips India into third place with 25,020 PhD graduates. India had 24,300.

Although fifth on the list, Japan only has a quarter of the PhD graduates that the US has, with 16,039.

In sixth and seventh place, France and South Korea have 13,729 and 12,931 respectively. Spain and Italy, in eighth and ninth, have a similar number, 10,889 and 10,678 respectively.

Australia is in 10th place with 8,400. 

It’s worth bearing in mind that if we looked at the numbers per head of the population, the top of table might look rather different.

There are more new doctorates worldwide

OECD figures also show that the number of doctoral graduates has increased worldwide in the last two decades. The majority of graduates are from OECD countries.

Large emerging economies have expanded their higher education training capacities, says the report, as shown by India’s high position with 24,300 doctoral graduates.

Certain scientific fields are more popular among PhD scholars. About 40% of new doctorates awarded in the OECD area are in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and this percentage increases to 58% of all new graduates if doctorates in health are included. Doctoral programmes are particularly oriented towards natural sciences and engineering in France (59%) Canada (55%) and China (55%), according to the report.

Among other trends noted in the report were the increasing digitalization and internationalization of research, ushering in an era of a global knowledge economy.

EC residence permit for long-term residents

Since 8 January 2007, the permanent residence card ("carta di soggiorno") has been replaced by the EC residence permit for long-term residents.

The new permit is permanent. You are entitled to apply for it only if you have been legally and continuously resident in Italy for five years. You can present your application either at the Post Office ("Uffici postali") or at thedesignated Municipal office  ("Comune") or at other authorized offices  ("Patronati"): in the last two cases you do not need to use the postal "application kit".

Your application must include:

·         a copy of your valid passport or equivalent travel document;

·         a copy of your income tax statement bearing evidence that you have a minimum income higher than the social allowance ("assegno sociale"). For domestic workers and caregivers: INPS (National Social Welfare Institution) payment receipts or INPS itemized statements;

·         criminal records and pending charges;

·         evidence of appropriate accommodation, if the application being submitted includes family members;

·         copies of pay slips for the current year;

·         residence and family certification;

·         postal receipt for payment of the electronic residence permit (€27.50);

·         a €14.62 electronic revenue stamp.

The cost of the recorded delivery is €30.

EC residence permit should not be issued to those who are considered a threat to public order and State security.

The application can be submitted also for:

·         the spouse if not legally separated or under 18 years of age;

·         minor children, including children of the spouse or children born out of the wedlock;

·         dependent children over 18 who are not self- supporting due to their health conditions resulting in permanent inability to earn their living;

·         dependent parents.

In order to obtain long-term resident status for your family members, your application must also include the following additional documents:

·         Evidence that your annual income support is sufficient to maintain yourself and all the members of your family. If you apply for two or more children aged under 14, our annual income must be twice the annual amount of the social allowance ("assegno sociale").

·         Certificates attesting your family relationship. All foreign documents must be translated into Italian, legalized and certified by the competent Italian Consulate in the country of origin or residence of your family member or members.

EC long-term residence permit entitles you to:

·         enter Italy without a visa;

·         work;

·         enjoy social benefits and social services supplied by the Italian government;

·         participate in local public life.

If you hold an EC long-term residence permit issued by another member State, you are entitled to reside in Italy for a period exceeding 3 months on the following grounds:

·         regular employment or self-employment;

·         attendance of courses of study or vocational training;

·         residence, provided that you prove to have stable and sufficient funds (your income must be over twice the minimum wage exempted from national health care contributions) and that you are covered by a private health insurance for the duration of your stay in Italy. In this case, you obtain a residence permit valid for Italy, renewable on expiration (circular letter of 16 Feb. 2010), while your family members obtain a residence permit for family purposes.

Exclusions and refusals

You cannot apply for an EC long-term residence permit on the following grounds:

·         study or vocational training and scientific research;

·         temporary protection or other humanitarian grounds;

·         asylum or when awaiting a decision for recognition as a refugee;

·         if you are a holder of a short-term residence permit;

·         if you hold a diplomatic, official and service passport, or hold laissez-passer issued by international organizations of a universal character.

Your EC long-term residence permit may be revoked in the following cases:

·         You have acquired it fraudulently.

·         An expulsion measure has been adopted against you.

·         You no longer fulfil the requirements set for its issue.

·         You have been absent from the territory of the European Union for a period of 12 consecutive months.

·         You have acquired long-term resident status in another European Union member State

·         You have been absent from Italy for a period exceeding 6 years.

France plans to welcome 10,000 Indian students by 2020

France is aiming to more than double the enrollment of Indian students at French universities in the next three years. As part of efforts to strengthen its “strategic partnership” with India, the country aims to be hosting 10,000 Indian students by 2020.

Last year, France welcomed 4,000 Indian students. Although this number is 50 times higher than 20 years before, French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault told Times of India that it is still “insufficient in terms of the quality of the relationship between the two countries”.

.

With trade between France and India reported at €8 billion a year, Mr Ayrault also commented that French president Francois Hollande and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi are in agreement regarding the importance of higher education and student exchange programs in strengthening relations between the two nations.

Studying abroad “a guarantee of freedom”

Mr Alyrault also spoke more generally about the benefits of international study, telling Times of India: “Four million students studied in foreign countries in 2012. Around the world, international student mobility has become a major issue. This mobility is a guarantee of freedom.”

France welcomed a total of 310,000 international students in 2015/16, with around 43% originating from African countries, and 30,000 coming from China.

It’s not yet clear how France will set about attracting more Indian students. But for now, the message is clear: if you’re an Indian student interested in studying in France, you’re more than welcome!
