Three-quarters of UK business schools are reporting falling international student enrolments, as fears grow across the sector about falling overseas demand and resulting financial damage.
A report published by the Chartered Association of Business Schools pinpoints the UK government’s immigration policies as a core factor.
According to a survey by the organisation of its members, non-European Union international enrolments for the January 2024 intake were down at three-quarters of responding institutions compared with 12 months ago.
On recruitment from the EU, 41 per cent of business schools responding reported lower enrolments.
