The number of new international students enrolling in US universities has continued to rise this year, snapshot figures show.

The Institute of International Education (IIE) said 바카라사이트 ¡°incredible rebound¡± proves 바카라사이트 commitment of?US higher education institutions to international students.

New data from 바카라사이트 IIE and 바카라사이트 Department of State¡¯s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs show that US higher education institutions reported a 7 per cent increase in 바카라사이트 number of new international students in autumn 2022.

This followed an 80 per cent rebound in 바카라사이트 2021-22 academic year, when 바카라사이트re were 261,961 new international enrolments, following 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic.

Almost two-thirds (63 per cent) of US providers recorded more new international students this autumn compared with last year, with a quarter seeing fewer.

Increases in international student enrolment were reported across all academic levels, including an 18 per cent rise at postgraduate level, according to Mirka Martel, head of research, evaluation and learning at IIE.

The data come from a snapshot survey based on responses from 638 institutions ¨C a subset of 바카라사이트 almost 3,000?that contribute to 바카라사이트 full Open Doors 2022 report, which was published on 14 November.

This showed that 948,519 international students studied at US higher education institutions during 바카라사이트 2021-22 academic year ¨C up 4 per cent on 바카라사이트 previous year.

Although still 16 per cent below 바카라사이트 record 1.1 million international students recorded in 2018-19, it marked 바카라사이트 first increase in three years, and 바카라사이트 largest percentage rise since 2015-16.

¡°The incredible rebound we have seen in international student mobility demonstrates 바카라사이트 United States¡¯ and its higher education institutions¡¯ unwavering commitment to welcoming students from around 바카라사이트 world,¡± said Allan Goodman, chief executive of IIE.

¡°Despite 바카라사이트 complexity and uncertainty that accompany pandemics, international educational exchanges continue.¡±

International students in 바카라사이트 US come from more than 200 different countries, but 바카라사이트 majority (52 per cent) are from just two nations ¨C China (290,086) and India (199,182).

Nigeria ¨C 바카라사이트 10th largest provider of international students to 바카라사이트 US ¨C saw its largest annual increase since 바카라사이트 1980s.

Of those with at least 100 students enrolled in 바카라사이트 US, European countries saw 바카라사이트 most significant year-on-year increases ¨C Denmark (up 79 per cent), Germany (59 per cent) and Austria (49 per cent).

¡°We are thrilled to see international student numbers on 바카라사이트 rise, and to see 바카라사이트 United States maintain its global leadership as 바카라사이트 top destination of choice for international students,¡± said Lee Satterfield, assistant secretary of state for educational and cultural affairs.

¡°Welcoming international students to American campuses and communities is at 바카라사이트 heart of people-to-people diplomacy and a foundational component of our US foreign policy strategy to attract 바카라사이트 top talent to 바카라사이트 United States.¡±

The statistics also showed that just 14,549 US students studied abroad in 2020-21 ¨C 11 times fewer than 바카라사이트 162,633 바카라사이트 year before.

Figures for 2021-22 are not yet available but 바카라사이트 report said that early indications show demand for international study remains high and is likely to rebound.

¡°As study abroad re-emerges for American students, 바카라사이트 Biden administration is expanding 바카라사이트 tools available to students to provide greater affordability and accessibility for all students to ensure it reflects 바카라사이트 rich diversity of 바카라사이트 United States,¡± said Mr Satterfield.
