Overall international student numbers are up year on year. We have a competitive offer for international students. We have a world-class higher education sector, with 38 out of the world’s top 100 universities. It is not surprising that international students from all over the world want to come and study at our great universities.

This Government are undermining the global reach of our universities, and America, Canada and Australia are benefiting.
