UK universities face financial turmoil as figures from the Home Office show plunging numbers of international students applying for courses starting in the next academic year.
Most student visa applications are received over the summer, leaving many universities hoping that things will improve by September.
Jeff Williams, Enroly’s chief executive, said the latest data showed that international student recruitment for September had been on a downward trend since the start of the year.
“Our UK university colleagues are working tirelessly to continue to attract international students to their programmes.
If Enroly’s figures are representative of the sector, about 150,000 fewer international students would arrive on UK campuses this autumn.
If better exam grades encourage more school leavers to go to university, that would offset the expected losses from international students.
