Recommendation
During our visit to Warwick University we heard that the increased graduate unemployment in China and a currency shock in Nigeria have made students from those countries more price sensitive. There is also increasing competition with a growing number of countries seeking to attract international students. Therefore, the Government should also research and publish how price elasticity differs among students by countries of origins. (Recommendation, Paragraph 279) 119
Government Response Summary
The government states it is already conducting and expects to publish research on the price elasticity of EU and non-EU students by Autumn 2026. However, it will not assess price elasticity by country of origin, deeming such detailed analysis as not providing robust conclusions.

PLANS ALREADY IN PLACE The Government is conducting research into the price elasticity of EU and non-EU students, which we expect to publish Autumn 2026. This research will not, however, assess price elasticity by country of origin; analysis at this level of detail would not provide robust conclusions.
