The cost of UK education

There was a time when we would see students from many different countries coming to the UK for their further education, this however appears to have changed recently. The reason being that 30% of international students do not believe that the education that they receive is worth the money.

Throughout the UK last year there were over 330,000 foreign students, their fees raise over £1.5 billion for the colleges and universities. They also pay for accommodation, food and entertainment, which brings in a useful income for the surrounding areas.

The countries that are attracting these students now are the US and Australia, the US being very popular with Chinese students these days.
