Universities of the United Kingdom (UK) are planning to enroll a high number of international students with an aim to overcome the financial crisis created by Brexit. The financial crisis that was created by Brexit had drastically affected the British universities. The higher education sector in the UK has faced a cut out of £1.3 billion of EU (European Union) research funding.

Attracting more international students is a profitable way to overcome the financial crisis created by Brexit, as per British Universities.
