Studying in the UK has always been a dream of Indian
students, and every year thousands of our students travel to the UK for higher
studies. This interest in students has increased in recent years, and the
figures demonstrate this rise. Talking about the recent January deadline,
applications from India through UCAS, the UK's shared admissions service for
higher education, to start UG courses in the UK this September grew by 11%
year-on-year to 8,660 applicants. In the year 2021, it was 7,830. The figures
had almost doubled since 2019, when there were 4,690 applicants. India remains
the second-largest non-EU market for UK higher education, after China which saw
28,930 applications.
In order to receive equal consideration by universities for 2022 entry, an application for most higher education courses must be submitted by applicants to UCAS by January 26. The applications can also be submitted after this date, but these are subject to the availability of places.
Says UCAS International MD Des Cutchey, "This a record figure for Indian undergraduate applications and a good indicator of how countries are viewing the UK as a higher education destination,"
He also said, "The number of applications from India for nursing studies is considerably higher than previous years. We have seen the same trend in UK applications-showing the importance of the profession after the pandemic. Our forecast is that applications from India will continue to increase."
As per him, if UK universities open up campuses in India and Indian universities open up in Britain, he did not foresee any impact on this forecast. This is because there is already a precedent of this in other countries, and it has not impacted student numbers coming here from those countries. "The appeal of having an experience in a country outside your own is still strong," he said. "This just offers an alternative which may be more attractive to some students than others."
