UK threatens success of Scots unis at attracting foreign students
The Herald says INTERNATIONAL students bring over £37 billion net economic benefit to the UK, up almost 60% in six years. Most sectors of the economy can only dream of these growth rates in our post-Brexit times of stagnant growth and low productivity.
‘The benefits and costs of international higher education students to the UK economy’, a new report published today, proves that our ability to attract some of the world’s brightest and best talent is an extraordinary success story. Scotland is second only to London for attracting international students. Over 44,000 start their studies here each year, contributing over £4 billion net benefit to the Scottish economy.
