Major student source markets for UK universities are seeing declines in applications in the latest admissions cycle sparking concerns about enrolment numbers in the next intake.
Speaking at The PIE Live Europe in London on March 19, university representatives detailed that postgraduate applications from India, Nigeria, and to a smaller extent China, are down.
More institutions are paying closer attention to application numbers earlier in the cycle, speakers said.
A survey of 51 BUILA members found that the majority had seen declines in applications for September, with the Indian masters level particularly hard hit.
