Paul Wakeling

Join Paul Wakeling, a Professor of Education at the University of York, as he explores the dramatic decline in EU student enrollments at UK universities post-Brexit. The numbers plummeted from 36,000 to just 12,000, prompting a discussion about the financial impact and shifts in recruitment strategies. Paul highlights how modern universities faced the sharpest losses while prestigious institutions fared better. He also reflects on the loss of classroom diversity and the broader cultural implications of reduced student mobility.
