Gain or drain? How study abroad affects our economy |

“We know that the UK is a net importer of foreign students”  

      

1#  From the UK  - in 2010: 

• 33,000 international students from the UK go abroad, a mere tenth (in the opposite direction).
• Currently educating 370,000 international students,
•  the UK comes second after the USA as a global study destination
•  – although China, Denmark, Holland and Finland are fast encroaching on that territory. 

• These are precious imports: a number of UK postgraduate science, technology and engineering courses could collapse without international students. In biotechnology, 93 per cent of students are international; in computer science it’s 82 per cent; and in engineering subjects, nearly 90 per cent.

2#   From the aussies -down under    - in 2017: : 

 Students in Australian universities:
US leads, followed by the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.
  At Australian colleges and universities, international students make up almost 20% of the student population.   
In 2017, over 685,000 international students went to study in Australia, which is a 15% increase from the number of international students in Australia in 2016.   
Also, during the 2016-2017 academic year, international students contributed $28 billion to the Australian economy.  International students have had the same effect on many other countries.  

 Students in French universities:
 In France, international students contribute €4.65 billion to the economy every year. 
 Along with the spending money from international students during their stay and their costs of tuition, the French economy gains €466.7 million per year from friends and family visiting the international students.  

 Students in UK universities:

 In the United Kingdom, international students added £13.8 billion gross value to the United Kingdom GDP.   


On top of the costs of attending school abroad, international students also spend a considerable amount on items such as food and clothing while staying in their host country.  In the United Kingdom, international students have spent... 
 £750 million in the transportation industry and 
 £690 million in the retail industry
