A significantly higher proportion of EU-born international students are employed in the UK compared to non-EU-born students, according to data recently released by the Office for National Statistics.
The ONS explored the international student population in England and Wales using data from the 2021 Census.
The data showed that some 47.1% of EU-born international students were employed, compared with 24.6% of non-EU-born students.
The ONS said that some of this will be explained by EU citizens historically having a right to work in the UK.
