UK universities should take advantage of Chinese students’ rising interest in creative arts degrees to remain competitive on the world stage, a new report says.
Despite a fall in accepted applicants in the last year, Chinese students remain the largest cohort of the UK’s undergraduate global market – accounting for one in every four international acceptances.
The number accepted on to UK courses has more than doubled between 2013 and 2023, but a new report from Ucas reveals a shift in the most popular subjects for Chinese students over that time.
Although it has declined from 43 per cent of all Chinese undergraduate acceptances to just 26 per cent, business remains the most popular choice.
