International students in Ireland more positive about college experience - survey

With the number of international students here increasing by more than a quarter since 2016, they also tend to feel more positive about their experience of college, a new survey has found.

In 2019, the number of international students enrolled across the third-level sector reached 14,412, an increase of almost 27% since 2016. This also far outstrips the 5.4% increase in Irish students enrolling in third-level during the same time frame.
