Some 75% of agents responding to a recent survey have said they expect to send more students to the UK in 2023, while US and Australia have also been slated to anticipate growth in student numbers.
The survey of 1,068 education agents in 70+ countries by INTO University Partnerships suggested that South Asia will be the “key driver for growth”, together with the Middle East & Africa. Respondents from China indicated that the UK will be most popular among prospective students.
A total of 54% respondents said the US will see more students, with 51% saying the same of Australia.
While 74% of Chinese agents said they expected more students to enrol in the UK, 45% said the same for Australia and 36% the same for the US. It is important to note that the survey was distributed in November, before Chinese authorities issued demands for students studying with international institutions to travel to their study destinations earlier this year.
