Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what estimate he has made of the proportion of UK university funding contributed by non-EU nationals.

The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes statistics on the finances of UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Latest statistics refer to the 2013/14 academic year and show that income from non-EU student fees totalled £3.9 billion and accounted for 12.7% of overall income of publicly-funded HEIs.
