Applications from Chinese undergraduates to study at British universities have increased by 30 percent since last year.
 
从去年开始中国大学生申请到英国大学学习的数量增长了30%。
 
Ucas, the university and college admissions service, revealed in its latest report that it had received 19,760 applications from students in China this year, accounting1 for about three percent of the total. Last year the number of Chinese applicants2 was 15,240.
 
For the first time, the Chinese applicants, slightly more than 18,520 from Northern Ireland, has become the fourth largest group after those in England, Scotland and Wales.
 
It is believed that the real figure will be higher as not all Chinese applications are made via Ucas.
 
According to the data, non-EU applicants rose to 13 percent of the total, increasing 8 percent compared with last year.
 
Clare Marchant, Ucas chief executive, said: "The global appeal of UK higher education has never been clearer, with record demographic-beating application rates in England and Wales, and the steep rise in international applications, especially from China."
 
Welcoming the figures, UK's universities minister Chris Skidmore said: "International students bring huge cultural and economic benefits to the UK. These figures show we are making good progress in our ambition to open up world-leading higher education to anyone who has the potential to benefit from it and I'm confident that we can go even further."
 
Commentators3 say that recent tensions between China and the U.S. are further benefitting British universities as Chinese students look at destinations other than America for their studies.
