62% : UK ministers' highly anticipated decision on immigration reform would be "vital" for universities' stability, he added.
50% : Feldblum said the new administration would have "greater consequences". American students are the fifth-largest international cohort who come to study in the UK, with 23,250 Americans in higher education in Britain in 2023-24, according to the Higher Education Statistics Agency. Growing international interest in UK courses is a positive sign for the cash-strapped sector, which has become heavily reliant on lucrative tuition fee income from overseas students.
37% : American universities including Harvard are under pressure from Trump to give federal government the power to vet admissions and influence hiring, as his administration cuts funding to elite universities and seeks to revoke visas of hundreds of foreign students.
