- W2038002621 abstract "British higher education has for many decades been a popular destination for students from abroad. This is partly because of the cultural links formed by the Commonwealth. In 1984 exactly a half of overseas students in Britain were from Commonwealth countries. The second major reason for Britain's popularity is the high quality of her higher education system. Although it is difficult to identify and measure the outputs of higher education, the British system has long had the reputation of being one with restricted entry and high unit expenditures on the students who are admitted. To be admitted by a British university is, therefore, a mark of recognition of merit for individual students: in addition they can expect to receive substantial welfare provision (help in finding accommodation, professional counselling services, etc.) during their courses of study. Thirdly, the attractiveness of higher education in Britain has been enhanced by the extraordinary development of English as the world's principal international language. This third advantage is also shared by other major Englishspeaking countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States. The United States is, of course, in a special category since it caters for over a third of all the students who are studying outside their own countries. As well as the attractiveness of the English language the United States is seen as being the world's most technologically advanced nation and individual students, and countries which wish to benefit from modern technological development, see particular benefits from study in that country. In this context a particularly interesting recent development is the growing attractiveness of Japan as a country in which to study. British universities have, therefore, during most of the twentieth century, seen themselves as international as well as national institutions. In the period up to the mid1960s they attempted to fulfil their international obligations partly by accepting foreign students on exactly the same basis as home students and partly by stimulating the development of indigenous universities in developing Commonwealth countries. Many African countries in particular have a higher education system closely modelled on the high-cost well-staffed collegial British university system. In contrast to this welcome to students from abroad there has never been the same interest in sending British students to foreign countries. According to UNESCO statistics the number of British students abroad in 1982 was 15,000 compared with 46,000 foreigners studying in British institutions. In this sense it is legitimate to suggest that the dominant attitude of British higher education to study abroad has traditionally been one of cultural imperialism: it is still widely believed that foreigners may have something to gain from studying in high quality British institutions but British students will derive little academic benefit from study abroad.
