• Level 7 international students make up the majority of students registered with ABP.
• Over 60% of UK-based students are from Asia (India, Pakistan, China, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh). Other frequently sited areas of origin include Nigeria, the Philippines, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
• Outside the UK, popular areas for delivery of ABP programmes include Asia and the Middle East.

For international students postgraduate-level courses, such as ours, are an extremely popular pathway to a Masters degree. This is backed up by the following figures (based on admissions surveys in the UK):

• Among non-EU international postgraduate research students at university, 46% were recorded as having some previous experience of HE in the UK.
• Analysis of Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) application data indicates that the proportion of international applicants who applied through UCAS centres in the UK was 75%, demonstrating further the likely scale progression from other education providers.

Strong progression routes attract more students on to both the Diploma and Masters programme and benefit all parties. We work to ensure that the potential of every such partnership is fully realised.
