Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the financial contribution of overseas students to the UK economy.
This question was answered on 14th December 2016
The Government estimated in 2013 that overseas students (EU and non-EU) in higher education in the UK contributed £9.7 billion to the UK economy in 2011, through tuition fees and living expenditure.
The Department for Education will publish a new estimate of the total value of education exports to the UK economy shortly, based on data from 2014. This will include updated estimates on the financial contribution of overseas students.
