We always enjoy the statistical deep dives of @BBCMoreOrLess & at 10 mins into this show is another interesting - and important - discussion

There’s been a lot of talk about international student admissions lately.
We know the public are worried about how fair it is, and we’ve announced actions we’re taking to investigate.
But today's @TheTimes article still gets some important facts wrong 🧵

Everything about this article is great, give it a read.

A short thread with some facts in response…
1️⃣ The vast majority of students studying at UK universities are domestic - over 2m from the UK compared to 680k from overseas.
That varies by course and level, but you can see all the numbers here: hesa.ac.uk/news/19-01-2023/s…
'2 years does seem like a long time when they've finished their studies.'
Non-affiliated peer Baroness Kate Hoey defends Suella Braverman's plans, saying there are 'too many' overseas students in the UK.

Its government policy to increase international student numbers to 600k & the income to £35 billion. Cracking down on student migration is odd policy & shows a bizarre misreading of the public

The government must stick to its pledges on funding for research and innovation
Writing in the @FT, Professor Paul Boyle describes the difference this kind of funding is making in his own institution, @SwanseaUni
