COVID-19 and student enrolment: how is the pandemic affecting enrolments worldwide?

A recent research from BridgeU, an on-line student recruitment platform, offers about the matter more than one insight.

The booklet reports an “In-Depth Analysis of What is Affecting Students’ Decisions in 2020 & What The Future Holds for 2021″.

It’s now clear that COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the global mobility of students all around the world.
University applicants have been forced to rethink their higher education choices and reorient their career goals.

Conventional wisdom has it that such seismic disruptions to the higher education learning experience are already proving to be a disincentive to international students who had intended to enrol at a university
in September 2020.

Analysts and industry leaders now predict universities will experience a sizable loss in revenue as a result of a
fall in international student enrolment.

This, because either students defer their study for a year or simply choose to study at a university closer to home.

A recent report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies projects losses of anywhere between £1.4 billion and £4.3 billion for universities in the United Kingdom.

Similarly, a recent survey by NAFSA in the United States projects a loss of $3 billion due to a decline in international student enrolments at US universities and colleges.

On the same subject, you can read here in Monsuni a QS 2020 report.

COVID-19 and student enrolment do not go toghether well, data therefore show.
