Can UK Retain Its Position As The Second Most Popular Destination For International Students?

Every international student who is closely following the global higher education sector will agree that their priorities while choosing a destination to pursue higher education have changed. Many student countries including India’s favourite destinations such as the United States and the United Kingdom have registered a sluggish growth rate in attracting international students because of many reasons. Whatever the reason, the United States stands tall in the first position in the list of best countries attracting international students. However, there is a battle between the second and third positions. Until recently, the United Kingdom, which enjoyed the second position as the favourite destination for international students, has registered very little growth in the number of international students since 2012. This is because of various reasons and Brexit is the major one.
