Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate his Department has made of the level of fee income to higher education providers arising from the tuition fees of students of Indian nationality in each financial year since 2012-13.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes information on the income and expenditure of UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). While information on tuition fee income to HEIs is not broken down by country of nationality, HESA has published tuition fee income for non-EU domiciled students. In 2016/17, UK Higher Education Institutions received £4.7 billion in tuition fee income from non-EU domiciled students. This is an increase from
£3.5 billion in academic year 2012/13.
