Overseas Students
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of the most recent long-term migration figures were accounted for by international students.
Answered by Janet Daby
According to the latest Office for National Statistics estimates, net migration to the UK (immigration minus emigration) of international students was 262,000 in the year ending June 2024. Total net migration for the same period was 728,000, meaning international students' net migration made up 36% of total net migration.
