The number of Indian students studying in the UK is expected to surge by over 46% in the upcoming academic year, according to a new report.
This comes after the UK Home Office reported a 54% increase in sponsored study visas granted to Indian students in 2023 compared to 2022.
The UK is now the most popular destination for Indian students seeking higher education abroad, with the number of Indian students holding UK study visas now seven times higher than in 2019.
Over 300,000 Indian students are expected to enroll in UK universities for the upcoming academic session, making them the largest international student group in the UK.
The surge in demand for UK education is being attributed to a number of factors, including the UK’s world-class universities, its strong job market, and its relatively affordable tuition fees.
The UK government is also welcoming international students with open arms, with a number of new policies and initiatives introduced in recent years to make it easier for international students to study and work in the UK.
The increase in Indian students studying in the UK is good news for both the UK and India. It will help to boost the UK economy and create new jobs, while also providing Indian students with the opportunity to gain a world-class education and experience.
