For many years, Chinese students have been the largest group of international students in the UK. But now Indian students have overtaken Chinese students by becoming the largest group of international students studying in the UK. There has been a 77% increase in Indian students studying in the UK this year if you compare it to 2021. 24% more visas have been issued to Indian students than the previous year.
All of these factors have contributed to more immigration towards the United Kingdom. The UK is offering more student visas to Indian students and at the same time Indian students are also becoming interested in studying in the UK. After Indians, Nigerians have become the second largest group of international students studying in the UK. Pakistan and Bangladesh have also climbed up in the top five categories.
