UK top choice for foreign students
From i-graduate.org
The UK has the highest proportion of foreign
students in its student population of all the G8 countries, a study by the US
Government has found.
The National Center for Education Statistics
said 16 per cent of students in UK universities were from overseas, compared
with 11 per cent of students in Germany, France and Canada in 2004. Japan, Italy
and Russia had the lowest proportions of foreign students with 3 per cent, 2 per
cent and 1 per cent respectively.
The US had the highest absolute number of
foreign students, but they formed only 3.4 per cent of the student body. The G8
countries took two thirds of all foreign students in higher education, with the
majority enrolled in the US (22 per cent), the UK (11 per cent), Germany (10 per
cent) and France (9 per cent).
The study found that Russia had the largest
percentage of adults aged 24 to 64 who had completed higher education. Canada
had the second highest percentage.
