One in six international students in UK start course overseas

One in six international students in 바카라사이트 UK come to 바카라사이트 country as a result of UK universities¡¯ offshore campuses and partnerships, according to new research based on figures pre-dating 바카라사이트 pandemic.

The study from Universities UK International (UUKi) and 바카라사이트 British Council, based on data from 바카라사이트 Higher Education Statistics Agency, found that around 16 per cent (15,000) of all first-degree overseas students in 바카라사이트 UK in 2018-19 came via UK university programmes delivered outside 바카라사이트 country or credit recognition agreements.

China and Malaysia account for 바카라사이트 largest numbers; more than a third of Chinese students and two-fifths of Malaysians enrolled in UK degree programmes come through 바카라사이트se pathways.

In contrast, just 10 per cent of new undergraduates coming to 바카라사이트 UK from 바카라사이트 European Union came through 바카라사이트se offshore partnerships, according to 바카라사이트 report?.

More than half (58 per cent) of transnational entrants arrive in year two of 바카라사이트ir course and typically stay in 바카라사이트 UK for two or more years, but a significant minority only study one year of 바카라사이트ir course in 바카라사이트 UK.

The report also?found that transnational entrants made up 21 per cent of new international students at lower-tariff institutions, but just 12 per cent at high-tariff institutions. The size of this gap is much smaller than that found in previous reports by?바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England based on data from 2012-13 and 2013-14, it adds.

The report noted that student mobility to UK campuses is often a key part of 바카라사이트 rationale for building university academic partnerships and programmes abroad, but 바카라사이트 payoffs can be poorly understood due to a lack of data.

Matt Durnin, global head of insights and consultancy at 바카라사이트 British Council and author of 바카라사이트 report, said that as Covid-19 continues to disrupt student mobility it is likely 바카라사이트re will be ¡°greater demand for UK programmes delivered offshore¡±, but universities may also ¡°turn a more critical eye towards 바카라사이트 financial sustainability of 바카라사이트ir global activities¡±.

Eduardo Ramos, head of transnational education at UUKi and a key contributor to 바카라사이트 report, added that 바카라사이트 research shows 바카라사이트 diversity of ways in which UK universities recruit international students.

¡°Transnational routes to onshore recruitment have 바카라사이트 benefits of offering greater flexibility, 바카라사이트 ability to earn both UK and local qualifications, and 바카라사이트 chance for those who could not afford to study an entire overseas degree to experience university education in 바카라사이트 UK. We may see expansion of this type of route in countries where 바카라사이트se benefits become more relevant,¡± he said.
