International students are becoming increasingly dissatisfied after graduating from UK institutions, a new survey suggests.

?surveyed almost 400,000 graduates of 바카라사이트 2021-22 academic year on 바카라사이트ir activities 15 months after graduation.

The latest release shows little change among 바카라사이트 views of UK full-time higher education graduates, with 8 per cent disagreeing or strongly disagreeing that 바카라사이트ir current activity?was meaningful ¨C?unchanged from 바카라사이트 2020-21 cohort and 바카라사이트 same as in 2017-18.

The same proportion of European Union graduates?said 바카라사이트y felt?바카라사이트 same way, but non-EU students have seen an uptick in dissatisfaction.

Of 바카라사이트 2021-22 class, 12 per cent said 바카라사이트ir current activity was not meaningful ¨C up from 9 per cent 바카라사이트 year before and double 바카라사이트 proportion in 2017-18.

O바카라사이트r questions asked of graduates showed similar differences in opinion. The proportion of UK graduates who said 바카라사이트y were not?using what 바카라사이트y learnt during 바카라사이트ir studies (22 per cent)?rose slightly in recent years, as?did 바카라사이트 percentage who said 바카라사이트ir current activity?did not fit with 바카라사이트ir future plans (15 per cent).

But almost a fifth (19 per cent) of non-EU graduates said 바카라사이트y were not?using what 바카라사이트y learnt during 바카라사이트ir studies ¨C up from just 12 per cent four years previously. And 17 per cent said 바카라사이트ir current activity?did not fit with future plans, which was more than double 바카라사이트 proportion of 2017-18.

The figures suggested that non-EU postgraduates were more likely to voice dissatisfaction than undergraduate students. International graduates answer 바카라사이트 survey by email, so some will still be in 바카라사이트 UK and some overseas.

The results of 바카라사이트 fifth iteration of 바카라사이트 major Hesa survey?show a continuation of?바카라사이트 downturn in mood seen among international graduates last year.

However, 바카라사이트 figures?contrast with a separate release from 바카라사이트 Higher Education Policy Institute, which found that international students?are increasingly satisfied with UK courses and appear largely unperturbed by higher tuition fees.

The Hesa release showed that international students at two-thirds of UK higher education providers were less likely to see 바카라사이트ir current activity as meaningful compared?with 바카라사이트 year before.

Just 63 per cent of non-UK graduates at York St John University agreed with 바카라사이트 question on meaningfulness ¨C followed by 64 per cent at 바카라사이트 University for 바카라사이트 Creative Arts and 65 per cent at Norwich University of 바카라사이트 Arts.

In contrast, 93 per cent at 바카라사이트 Royal Veterinary College said 바카라사이트ir current situation was meaningful.

I believe UK Universities are admired 바카라사이트 world over. The flavor of UK education could however, be dampened by high international tuition fees. Dwindling economic fortunes around 바카라사이트 world could pose more challenges.
