International student data

Accurate, relevant and up to date market information is becoming increasingly important to UK institutions aiming to develop their marketing strategies. We hold data concerning international students studying in the different sectors of education in the UK:

Higher education
Further education
Independent schools and colleges
Trans-national education

Please note that access to some of our student data is exclusive to Education UK Partnership members.

If you have any queries or require any historical or competitor information not included here, please contact the Education Market Intelligence team.


Higher education student data
Student data early reporting
This newly developed and specially designed international student enrolment data early reporting system enables all UK HE institutions to share their international student numbers, to eliminate the waiting time currently experienced for access to such data.

HESA statistics
Our interactive on-line system enables Partnership members to customise queries of higher education student data and run searches tailored to your specific needs.
