International university students have a £1.4bn impact on the Welsh economy, according to new research.
A costs and benefits analysis of nearly 15,000 students in Wales who started their degrees in the 2021-22 academic year calculated their impact over the duration of their studies and is contained in a report from the Universities UK International, the Higher Education Policy Institute and Kaplan International in collaboration with London Economics.
In total, the average net impact of international students per parliamentary constituency in Wales is estimated at £31m, which is equivalent to about £390 per resident.
