Summary
After a few years of slight decrease, the number of British students enrolling in a French university increased by 3 per cent in the academic year 2009/10 according statistics from the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. In contrast, there was a slight fall in the number of Erasmus students. Nonetheless, with 3184 entrants in 2009, France remains one of the favourite destinations in Europe for British students. In that year, however, just under 13,000 French nationals were studying in the UK. These figures show a strong imbalance in terms of incoming and outgoing students. Tables 1 and 2 show a similar imbalance in the numbers of Erasmus students. There is therefore a need to promote French institutions of higher education to UK students.
