• Over 60% of UK-based students are from Asia (India, Pakistan, China, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh). Other frequently sited areas of origin include Nigeria, the Philippines, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
• Outside the UK, popular areas for delivery of ABP programmes include Asia and the Middle East.

For international students postgraduate-level courses, such as ours, are an extremely popular pathway to a Masters degree. This is backed up by the following figures (based on admissions surveys in the UK):

• Among non-EU international postgraduate research students at university, 46% were recorded as having some previous experience of HE in the UK.
• Analysis of Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) application data indicates that the proportion of international applicants who applied through UCAS centres in the UK was 75%, demonstrating further the likely scale progression from other education providers.
