Overall, the institute took on 23,000 new students in 2010. The UK and Sri Lanka saw increased numbers of graduates and school leavers joining the institute. Pakistan’s student figures doubled for the second year in a row, and China’a student uptake increased 72% compared to the previous year.
Africa’s student numbers also grew 32% compared to the year before, as the institute continues to build its presence across the sub-Saharan region.
