The number of students from China at British universities increased again last year, with the latest figures showing that recruitment of Chinese students outstripped those from other countries.
The Higher Education Statistics Agency’s breakdown of students in UK higher education last year showed that the number of students from China rose above 120,000 for the first time, accounting for more than one in every three non-EU students.
While the number of new students coming from EU countries rose by 2% - despite the political turmoil over Brexit – the numbers from outside the EU rose by 10%, with those from China alone rising by 13%.
