London, June 4
Indian students remain positive about taking up their courses at UK universities this year despite the coronavirus lockdown and travel constraints, official data indicates.
According to UK Home Office statistics released last week, the number of study visa grants to Indian nationals in the year ending March 2021 increased by 6,391, marking a 13 per cent hike over the previous year.
It indicates that most students are keen to take up their courses as they are able to return to university since lockdown eased further from May 17. Welcoming our students back in person is an important milestone in the UK s Covid-19 recovery, and a positive sign for Indian students holding offers to study in the UK next academic year, said Vivienne Stern, Director of Universities UK International (UUKi), an organisation representing 146 UK universities.

London: Shaiz Javaid was more than a third of the way through his Bachelor of Business degree at Melbourneâs La Trobe University when he flew home to Pakistan on February 10 last year for a family reunion and a quick visit.
But when the pandemic hit and Australia hastily shut its borders to all foreigners, he became one of thousands of students stranded, unable to catch his scheduled flight back to Melbourne on March 28.
Shaiz Javaid from Pakistan has given up any hope of returning to finish his Bachelor of Business in Australia and will try enrolling in the UK.

TORONTO, April 28, 2021 /CNW/ - Aspiring international students remain committed to their global study goals and are willing to vaccinate and quarantine in return for on-campus study and the experience of living abroad, despite the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic has presented.
The findings form part of the fourth installment of IDP Connect s International Student Crossroads research, which examined the attitudes and behaviours of international student applicants and offer holders as well as current students.
The latest research surveyed more than 6,000 respondents from more than 57 countries, all of whom hold aspirations or current applications for studying at higher education institutions in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.
