Rightly or wrongly this is a reason given for taking on the foreign students...

With international students paying market rates for their degree courses, usually £10,000 to £20,000 a year, they are critical to the financial health of many universities. One university vice-chancellor yesterday called for the immediate scrapping of student number controls.


In other words the foreign students keep the courses afloat.

I have just been working with a summer student at Leeds Uni and he says half his Engineering course intake are Arabs...they stump up the big spondoolies for the courses. Said a couple were from Libya but they had to disappear halfway through the course to go back and fight in the civil war. He is British by the way.
