Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of the economic value of international students to UK universities and their local areas.
This question was answered on 19th January 2017
The most recent estimate of the value of international education to the UK can be found in the Government’s International Education Strategy, published in July 2013. This analysis showed that EU and Non-EU students at UK universities contributed an estimated £9.7bn in 2011 to the UK economy (tuition fees and living expenditure). The analysis does not separate this contribution for local areas.
