A series of recent stories in The Telegraph underscores that UK educators continue to feel the effects of government policies and other factors affecting the attractiveness of British university degrees. The stories cover:
The UK government’s decision to almost triple the cost of a degree in September (to up to £9,000-a-year)
The perception that cash-strapped British universities are offering less exciting university experiences than American ones, or that UK institutions are not welcoming to foreigners
Government plans to expand the university sector, possibly affecting the prestige of the British university brand
On top of this are the newly introduced visa policies restricting the ability of foreign students to work in the UK. Altogether, Britain’s reputation as a study abroad destination is in question, and the country’s own students seem to be increasingly looking abroad for their higher education (with schools in the US and the Netherlands increasingly sought after).
