International Students in the United Kingdom

Topic: Discuss the three issues facing international students in the UK. We propose and evaluate possible solutions to these problems. As we know, the UK accepts millions of students from all over the world every year. Students aiming to create a better future will choose their favorite UK university to complete their higher education. "Britain is the second largest international education exporter after the United States" (Binsardi, A. and Ekwulugo, F. 2003). Many students like to study in the UK more than anywhere else, as opportunities provided here, for example students can do part-time job at the same time.

There are about 428 225 international students in the UK, of which 39,090 are from India (UKCISA, 2011). India is the second college student from this country, the second student after China (UKCISA, 2011). These Indian students came here to study at the university. Immigrants in Indian students have increased in the past 10 years, steadily increasing by 5% each year (UKCISA, 2011). In the study on Asian students' dietary habits by Hill (2002), it is reported that the majority of them gradually changed from vegetarian to non-vegetarian within 5 years of immigration. He also found that students staying longer are more likely to accept cultural adaptation than students touching new cultures in a short period of time.

Next to the United States, the UK accepts the most international students in the world. In 2009, 13% of the total number of undergraduates enrolled in the UK was international students (UK International Student Affairs Council Council 2009). Specifically, the number of university entrants from Saudi Arabia increased from 3,535 in 2008 to 5,205 in 2009, a sharp increase of 42.2% (Times Higher Education 2010). The rapid growth of the Arab international student team in the UK requires urgent attention to the academic coordination of these students, especially in the school environment. One of the most important adjustments for Arab students is English learning caused by the demands of globalization and the spread of English as a second language in educational programs even in Arab countries (Tahaineh 2010).
