You can read the full statement on the YU website, which covers how international students generate economic and broader impacts for the universities/HEIs they attend, the home students they study alongside, and how they enhance education, culture, social capital, and the UK’s soft power. It further outlines the key issues facing international students and international Higher Education in Yorkshire.
