Coventry University has said government policies and rhetoric are making international student recruitment “harder” after it emerged the institution will be forced to make £40 million in cuts next year.
The British university is expected to make £85m less than originally forecast as a result of spending growing faster than income.
In its 2022/23 annual report, Coventry said staff costs have risen 3% year-on-year, partly due to “inflationary pressures”.
Full-time UK and EU student fee income fell by 20% to £125.1 million in 2022/23, compared to £156.6m the previous year.
