Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what information the Government holds on how many Indian nationals studied in UK universities in financial years (a) 2019-20 and (b) 2020-21.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes statistics on higher education (HE) at UK Higher Education Providers (HEPs). The latest statistics refer to the 2021/22 academic year.

HESA’s Student Open Data includes a table reporting on the number of Non-UK HE enrolments broken down by HEP and country of domicile between the 2014/15 to 2021/22 academic years. The data is available at: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/students/table-28.
