Universities in the United Kingdom are considering cutting off courses over the reduction of international student enrollment, which is beginning to affect the funding of some institutions.

The Times, on Saturday, reported that university leaders warned that the loss of one-third of foreign students has threatened to push institutions into loss, forcing them to make “really difficult” cuts such as closing entire courses and reducing the number of teaching staff, among other measures.

” “Universities have to think carefully about what they want to protect and make decisions about how to divest things that are not core to the institution. There will be fewer options for students. So, basically, you either have to increase revenue or reduce quality or volume,” he said. Some universities have linked the decline in Nigerian student enrollment to the nation's economic crisis, as the naira plummeted against the Great Britain Pound.
