Undergraduate Study Opportunities Abroad

Threshold of a New Era in Third- Level 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
