Abstract
Universities in the United Kingdom are popular study destinations as evidenced by the high number of international students. Figures 1a and 1b show that there has been a steep increase in the number of non-UK students in the past two decades; they have more than doubled.1 More than half a million international students were enrolled in UK universities in 2019–2020, accounting for about 22 per cent of the student body in higher education (HESA 2022). Pat Killingley (2012) explains that this trend can be attributed to government policy, specifically the Prime Minister's Initiative (PMI), which seeks to increase the number of international students in UK universities. Several strategies have been adopted to achieve this objective, such as target marketing, the allocation of resources for English language support, and the promotion of degree preparatory courses.
