Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the financial contribution made by international students to UK universities in each of the last three years; and if she will make a statement.

Information on the finances of UK higher education institutions (HEIs) is collected and published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). The table below summarises the total income from the tuition fees of non-EU domiciled to UK HEIs in the last three academic years. HESA finance data does not distinguish between UK and EU students, therefore data on EU fee income is not available.
