Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether there has been a decline in the number of student applications from other EU countries to UK universities since June 2016.

The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) publish data on the number of applications by the 15 January deadline. Data for the 2017 application cycle shows there were 187,470 applications from EU domiciled applicants, which is above the 157,170 applications made in 2010, but lower than the 202,250 applications in 2016. Note that UCAS data covers applications to full-time undergraduate courses only.
