In 2012, over 420,000 international students from 200 nations chose to study
in the United Kingdom for their higher education, joining over two million local
students. In addition, over 500,000 international students gained a UK qualification
outside the UK.
UK higher education students are generally aged 18 or over (17 in Scotland),

to the course provider or visit the UK NARIC website.
