We said

We do not produce data on the total number of international students at UK universities, nor do we produce these data broken down by level of study, regions of the UK or by nationality of students by area of study.

You can find data on international students in the UK via the Higher Education Statistics Authority’s (HESA) Higher Education Statistics for the UK 2015/16 open data. For more information, please contact information@hesa.ac.uk.

We are also working towards developing a better understanding on student migration, you can find out more in our article ‘What’s happening with international student migration?’, which was published on 24 August 2017.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us on pop.info@ons.gov.uk.
