15 UK universities have announced plans to lay off staff and stop courses due to a significant drop in foreign student enrollment, including Nigerians.
This decline is largely felt at the postgraduate level and is linked to the UK government’s decision to reduce international students.
The high cost of living globally may also negatively impact undergraduate foreign student enrollment. Notably, most universities, including Russell Group Universities, mid-tier institutions, and Scottish institutions, are also facing financial difficulties due to the decline in international student enrollments.
Robert Gordon University (RGU) introduced a voluntary severance scheme due to rising cost pressures and reduced public funding.
