Universities more reliant on foreign students

According to a report in The Telegraph, Universities are more reliant on foreign students despite visa fears.

Over a 12 month period (2009/10), money from foreign students increased from £1.8bn to £2.1bn. Fees from International students now make up 9.6% of the total cash raised by higher education institutions in England.

This was disclosed in data from the Government’s Higher Education Funding Council for England.
