November 20 2007 - London Economy Grows with International Students

The Mayor of London in association with the Organisation for London's Universities and higher educational colleges publishes a study that shows 86,000 students study in London and generate 44,000 jobs

The study also suggests that additional economic benefits are accrued from London's international students, in addition to the direct financial contributions identified, such as the social and cultural links that students build up as a result of studying in London

Malcolm Gillies, Vice-Chancellor and President, City University London and London Higher Board member said:

'London is the centre of the world and I knew that when I came here to study at the age of eighteen. With over forty higher education institutions London offers every field of study, in countless different variations. Our programmes relate directly to the industries and professions of Europe's largest city. From an education in London you gain skills, cultural experiences and social interactions that few cities can rival. And, with well recognized qualifications, you lay the basis to a career that could take you anywhere in the world.'
