Recent trends further prove this point. A closer look at student enrolment data from 2006/07 to 2022/23 shows a remarkable increase in international student numbers, reaching new heights in recent years​ (HESA, 2024)​. This is not just a trend, it’s a clear indication that the UK continues to be the best place for education, career growth, and global networking. 
One of the most significant trends in recent years has been the rapid increase in Nigerian students choosing the UK. In the past, students from China and India dominated the international student scene, but the latest data shows that Nigeria is becoming a powerhouse in UK higher education.
