India accounts for almost one-fifth of the global under 25 population and is the world’s second largest sender of internationally mobile students, after China. Given its favourable economic outlook, expanding middle class and relative lack of high-quality domestic capacity, continued strong growth in outbound student mobility is expected over the medium term. In 2020/21, there were a total of 82,260 Indian students enrolled in UK HEIs, an almost fivefold increase within four years. And while not a leading TNE market for the UK, recent regulatory developments suggest there is considerable scope for growth in this area, though models such as franchise, validation and distance / online learning remain outside the regulatory framework.
