Nigerian Student Decline Causes UK Universities Financial Strain

Economic crisis in Nigeria has led to a decline in Nigerian students applying to UK universities, causing financial issues.

15 UK universities are already cutting jobs due to reduced international student fees. More expected to follow.

There has been a 37% early drop in overseas student acceptances for next academic year.

In February, 46% fewer Nigerian students applied to study in the UK compared to previous years.

Recent UK visa reforms may have contributed to the drop in Nigerian applications. Students can no longer easily bring dependents.
