Research from the UK Higher Education International Unit has revealed that a large proportion of overseas students in the UK would recommend studying in the UK, as opposed to other nations. 85% of overseas graduates recommend the experience to others, a higher proportion than other traditional heavyweights such as Australia, Canada and the US.
The UK also improved upon its student satisfaction score, up from 90% in 2008 to 91% in 2015. The findings are based on feedback from over 365,000 international students studying outside their home country, which was collected from i-graduate’s International Student Barometer.
UK HE International Unit director Vivienne Stern said: “While the UK’s improving results and higher satisfaction with the cost of living than main alternative countries suggest we are heading in the right direction, we cannot remain complacent. Other countries are increasing their efforts to attract international students and are enjoying faster growth. The UK must jointly capitalise on its obvious strengths in order to drive sustained growth for this critical component of the UK’s higher education system and its broader economy.”
Responses from international undergraduate students in the UK during their first year of study found that the main factors underpinning their decision to study in the UK were the reputation of their selected institution, the specific course of study, earning potential and personal safety.
