    International students are thinking carefully about policy changes

    More than half of people aiming to study abroad (55 per cent) are aware of international education policy changes in their intended destination, with 30 per cent rethinking plans, according to new research. The findings come from IDP's latest International Student Pulse Survey, which was undertaken amid major changes in the UK, Australia and Canada. Of the students who are now looking at alternatives to their preferred destination, the most (23 per cent) have begun considering the USA, where policy changes have been less significant.

    The USA has more than one million international students

    The number of international students in the USA rose by 11.5 per cent to 1,057,188 in the 2022/23 academic year, according to an official report.

    The Open Doors 2023 Report on International Educational Exchange shows that more than half originated from the top two source countries: China (289,526, 27.4 per cent) and India (268,923, 25.4 per cent).

    Other countries which saw large rises include Nigeria (22.2 per cent, to 17,640), Nepal (27.9 per cent, to 15,090), Bangladesh (28 per cent, to 13,563) and Ghana (31.6 per cent, to 6,468).
