This shift follows the announcement by Universities UK (UUK) of a review of international student admissions processes, prompted by concerns about recruitment practices.
One key factor influencing the scrutiny of international student recruitment is the financial disparity in tuition fees.
The investigation comes in response to recent reports suggesting that international students are being admitted to prestigious British universities with lower entry requirements than domestic students.
Vivienne Stern, the chief executive of Universities UK, representing over 140 universities, has expressed concern about a potential “serious overcorrection” in the sector attributed to immigration policies that are perceived to discourage international students from choosing Britain for their studies.
Factors contributing to this turmoil include stagnant tuition fees, rising inflation, and decreasing international student enrollment. The crisis is prompting a rethink of the higher education business model, with potential consequences for future tuition policies and university operations.
The decline is driven by significant setbacks in the Nigerian market, witnessing a 74 percent decrease in deposits and a 76 percent drop in CAS/visa issuances.
The analysis revealed that one institution spent £28 million (US$35 million) on agent fees last year, reflecting the escalating reliance on income from international students.
With home student fees failing to keep pace with inflation and a heavy reliance on international student fees, the sector faces a precarious economic future. Calls for a funding reassessment grow as impending loan repayment reforms threaten to increase graduates’ financial burdens.
Professor Dame Sally Mapstone highlighted the need for government support to ensure universities continue to drive social change, create jobs, and address national challenges.
By the end of September, the British government must come to terms with the EU’s conditions for the UK’s inclusion in Horizon Europe, the EU’s flagship funding program dedicated to research and innovation.
The most dynamic sectors include STEM, healthcare, education, and business services, all of which are poised to require a collective one million new workforce entrants by 2035.
Higher Education Minister Robert Halfon’s intervention is a blow to university leaders, who say that inflation has eroded the value of tuition fees more than a decade ago.
Amid soaring migration numbers in the UK, some individuals are smothered by living in the shadow as they opt to overstay their visas. This unravels a system lacking comprehensive public data.
