While many countries are seeing a slowdown in international academic mobility, Germany is bucking the trend - attracting record numbers of foreign students and researchers year after year. Germany's reputation as an open and welcoming destination for international students continues to grow, even as global trends point towards increased renationalisation and reduced cross-border movement. The latest figures from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) confirm that student bodies at German universities are more international than ever before.

"When I came to London I felt at ease. This was my place," says 20-year-old Manou, who moved from Belgium to study at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in south-east London three years ago.

California State University's fall 2025 headcount ticked up 4,000 students compared with this time last year, thanks to in-state student increases that outpaced a smaller drop in out-of-state and international enrollment, preliminary data released by the system show. That growth amounts to less than a percentage point increase at CSU, bringing the total across the 22-campus system to about 465,000 students.

Adaptive learning personalizes the interview preparation journey, allowing students to stand out by focusing on confidence, clarity, and character alongside content.

Sir Sadiq stated, "There are people at home who believe we should pull up the drawbridge to international students, or punish universities that choose to welcome people from around the world. Closing our country to global talent would be an act of immense economic self-harm - one that would slow down growth and leave working people in Britain worse off than before."

The reduction in international students presents a credit risk for universities heavily reliant on this demographic because of potential declines in tuition income, as international students typically pay full tuition fees.
