Other international student statistics

Sources of data on international students in the UK

UKCISA is not responsible for collecting international student data, so if you have a query about international student statistics, please contact one of the following organisations:

• The Higher Education Statistics Agency - For comprehensive higher education data
• Education UK Marketing British Council - For analysis data for HE, FE and other sectors relating to international students (some data is available to Education UK Partners only)
• Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) - For application and acceptance data for UK HE undergraduate courses
• The Home Office - for statistics on student visas (though NB you may also find it useful to view reports and data from the thinktank the IPPR, which has published several analyses of student visa data, and the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford)
