The proportion of international students applying to undergraduate courses at UK universities is largely level with previous years, the outgoing head of UCAS has stated.
Speaking at a HEPI webinar on August 14, Clare Marchant said that it is “important” that international undergraduate application figures are not taken out of context.
“International students have got a lot of press attention [recently],” Marchant said. “It’s important to not get it out of proportion at an undergraduate level.”
The 13% of placed students being international is unlikely to “change hugely” this year, she continued.
