Overseas students 'add ￡20bn' to UK economy 海外學生每年為英國經濟注入200億英鎊
英國高等教育政策研究所（Higher Education Policy Institute）的一項最新研究分析顯示，國際學生對英國經濟的貢獻要比接待他們的成本高出十倍。分析報告指出，不只是學費這一項開銷，國際學生在英期間的消費也已成為支撐當地經濟的重要部分。

每年約有23萬國際學生選擇在英國上大學。英國高等教育政策研究所發表的報告說，不單靠學生交納的學費，英國當地的很多工作都依賴于這些國際生在住宿、餐飲、交通等所有衣食住行方面的支出。
平均算下來，國際學生在英國的花銷相當于給每個英國國會選區三千多萬英鎊的貢獻。這家智庫的主任尼克·希爾曼（Nick Hillman）說，這份報告說明國際學生不該成為移民局針對限制的目標對象。但英國內政部表示他們對于真正要來英國求學的學生數量并沒有限制，他們也沒有修改現行政策的計劃。
