UK second most popular global destination for international students

17 December 2015

 

A report from the UK Higher Education International Unit has shown that the UK is second only behind the US as the most popular destination for international students.

The United States still had the highest proportion of international students in 2012 at 16.4%, but this has fallen from its 2000 number by 6.4%. The UK remains the best of the rest in the report, with 12.6% of its student population international, a rise of 1.9% from 12 years previous. Russia was the only country to match the UK’s growth. Germany remained the third most popular destination, with France in fourth.
