The government fully recognises the important economic and cultural contribution that EU and international students make to the UK\u2019s higher education sector. We want that contribution to continue and we are confident \u2013 given the world class quality of our higher education sector \u2013 that it will.<\/p>
<\/p>
The UK remains a highly attractive destination for non-EU students, with their numbers remaining at record highs \u2013 over 170,000 non-EU entrants to UK higher education institutions for the seventh year running. The UK is a world-leading destination for study, with four universities in the world\u2019s top 10 and 16 in the top 100 \u2013 second only to the USA. We actively promote study in the UK through the GREAT Campaign and to over 100 countries through the British Council.<\/p>
<\/p>
The government announced on 21 January that the Department for Education and the Department for International Trade will produce an international education strategy in early 2019. The strategy will set out the government\u2019s ambition for international education, and plans to support the sector in driving growth in education exports. This will include making sure we optimise our position in the market for international students.<\/p>

In the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal, there would be a number of tools available to help mitigate adverse impacts for the food and drink industry, as well as for consumers and producers. These tools could include lowering applied tariffs on certain goods, alongside tariff rate suspensions and opening up autonomous tariff rate quotas.<\/p>
<\/p>
Different combinations of these tools would have different impacts on the food and drink industry, as would different degrees of tariff reduction. In addition, the competitiveness of the domestic industry is heavily affected by a number of other factors, including commodity prices, exchange rates and oil prices. These drivers will continue to apply when we leave the EU, regardless of tariff rates.<\/p>
