Undergraduate Study Opportunities Abroad
Threshold of a New Era in ThirdLevel Education in Europe
2011:
At the Westminster Education Forum on higher
education, it was revealed that research
suggested there were currently around 22,000
British students on degree courses abroad;
approximately 1.7 per cent of Britain's entire
student population.
By comparison, in China and India - well-known
for having a large number of their students
educated abroad - these figures were only 1.4 per
cent and one per cent respectively
This might be a bit of surprise: No 1
