Some of the key findings:
- As a destination for study, the UK fulfils key criteria related to learning, living and employability. 88% of international applicants continue to see the UK as a positive or very positive place to study.
- Top factors motivating students to study in the UK include the prestige of UK universities (47%), the desire to live in the UK (45%), and teaching quality (43% overall – with 36% of undergraduates and 49% of postgraduates indicating this as priority).
- However, half of students didn’t feel completely ready to start their course ahead of the current academic year, and 72% of students wanted more information on what their academic year would look like, revealing a gap in knowledge and support during the crucial transition to studying in the UK.
