Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of undergraduate foreign students who graduated in (1) 2018, (2) 2019, (3) 2020, (4) 2021, and (5) 2022; and what estimate they have made of the number of graduate foreign students who completed their courses in each of these years.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA, now part of JISC), is responsible for collecting and publishing data about UK higher education. The latest statistics refer to the 2021/22 academic year.

Figure 15 of HESA’s 'Higher Education Student Statistics: UK, 2021/22’ reports the number of qualifications obtained at undergraduate and postgraduate level at UK Higher Education Providers between the 2017/18 and 2021/22 academic years, and is available by students’ domicile (UK, EU, non-EU) prior to study. See figure 15 attached.

Updates on the timing of HESA Student Statistics for the 2022/23 academic year are available via the following link: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/upcoming.
