Steady Number of Students from Georgia at UK Universities

During the 2017/18 academic year, there were 215 students from Georgia studying in the UK, pretty much the same as three years ago, when UK universities counted 225 Georgian students, says Studying-in-UK.org.

The UK is a very popular study destination, attracting ambitious students from all over the world. Regarding the official enrollment statistics, it can easily be concluded that students from Georgia are also highly interested in seeking higher education in the UK.

According to an official statistical report provided by the Higher Education Statistics Agency in UK about university enrollment, it is noted that the number of Georgian students has remained steady over the years.

Of the total number of Georgian students studying in UK as of the last academic year, 100 were attending undergraduate courses while 115 were seeking a postgraduate degree. Most of the postgraduate students were attending taught study programs (100 students as compared to 10 enrolled in research degree programs).

Within the United Kingdom, England proved the most popular study choice for higher education, with 180 students from Georgia studying at universities in England last year, while universities in Scotland accommodated 25 Georgian students and Welsh universities five. There was no Georgian student attending university in Northern Ireland, the statistics read.
