Statistics recently released by UCAS show an increase in the total number of international applicants for UK undergraduate courses. The number of non-UK applicants as of the June 30th deadline increased to 134,880, up 3.4 per cent compared to the same point in 2021.
However, the data shows opposite trends in applicants from EU and non-EU countries. While non-EU applicants were up by 9 per cent, those from the EU dropped by 18 per cent.
