Record Number of Americans Applying to UK Universities

New data released by the UK Universities and Colleges Admissions Service shows a five per cent increase (3,080, compared to 2,930) in the number of U.S. applicants applying by the main January deadline for courses in the UK starting in 2015-16, according to a press release by the US-UK Fulbright Commission. Undergraduate study in the UK was already growing in popularity amongst U.S. students with steady increases in recent years. However, this latest data shows a record breaking level of interest.
