Study UK is once again running our annual survey of newly enrolled international students in the UK. This research helps us and our colleagues in the higher education sector stay up to date on the motivations, perceptions and experiences of the UK’s international students.
We’d like to invite your institution to take part in the 2025-26 survey, which is now live and will remain open until the end of March 2026.
How you can take part
Please circulate the survey among your newly enrolled international students. To help with this, an email template is available for you to use, which also contains the survey link for you to share. The survey is applicable for any international student who started an undergraduate or postgraduate course in 2025 or plans to enrol by the end of March 2026.
How your institution benefits from taking part
1. Customised insights for your institution
Participating institutions will receive exclusive access to an online dashboard delivering insights on your international students’ experiences.
Action: please let Zoe at Red Brick Research (zrevell@redbrickresearch.com) know when you've sent the survey out, and she'll provide you with a link to your live online dashboard report.
2. Access to a Study UK webinar
You’ll also be invited to a Study UK webinar to hear about the broader findings (see last year's slides here).
Any questions/get in touch
If you have any questions or would like to discuss the research further, please contact Kevin Murray, Study UK Senior Research and Evaluation Manager. You may also hear directly from Red Brick in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your continued collaboration. Your support is essential in helping us develop a thorough understanding of new international students’ experiences, from their decision-making journey to their post-study plans.
