Abstract

LOVE J. H. and MCNICOLL I. H. (1988) The regional economic impact of overseas students in the UK: a case study of three Scottish universities, Reg. Studies 22, 11–18. Overseas students form an important and growing proportion of the total student population in UK higher education. This paper is not concerned with the educational arguments for or against the attraction of overseas students, but rather argues that each such student represents an injection of new income into the host regional economy with consequent implications for local activity. Using a multiplier model, the regional economic impact of overseas students in each of three Scottish universities is quantified. Brief comparisons are made with other studies. The paper concludes that overseas students do have a significant impact on the local economy, which is realized to a large extent outside the host university itself.
