International students are more likely to use an internet message board though...

Since we're on the topic of international students, does anyone know the proportion of Warwick undergraduates from overseas? And does anyone have statistics on which countries the international students come from?

I think every year 700 international students come to warwick. thats not that much, as warwick has a student population of 13,500

Yeah but, only about 3000 people come in each year(undergraduate), so it's a very significant proportion in fact, if 700/3000 are international, that's about 25% or something :redface:

but that means over 2100 of the 13500 are international and thats like what 16% or so id say that was quite high. ( again not complaining just saying- i have been known to be very 'friendly' :wink:

with foreign ladies )

Not overall, but for PPE there are 35 places for "home" students and 10 for "internationals".

However, anyone from within the EU counts as a home student.

So about 1% of people in our year will be doing PPE? lol

Well, Warwick's my insurance, but I've only got about a 50% chance of making my first choice (maths with STEP at Cambridge) and wouldn't mind that much if I didn't make the grade as I really like Warwick. And I'm not international (I'm from Leeds!).

hmmmmm...i would rather it b the other way round lol :wink:

i thought somewhere it said it was the otherway round....oh well, its not THAT big a difference

and i think it was also u who asked whether there r any english peeps going to warwick...well i know there seems to be loadsa international students on this thread but the fact we r all conversing in english means u wont have to learn quite as many languages as u thought :biggrin:

also im kinda goin with the assumption that peeps applying to a uni in england will b able to speak at least a bit of english or?!

Don't worry so much, at least in my case my English is much better than my Norwegian (a result of going to an international, English-speaking school and having a British step-dad).

Actually, its the other way round :tongue:

Which is good news for us girls... :biggrin:

Btw I'm also another English student... apparently 16% of the entire uni population are from overseas

haha... well, i have no British step-parents, so i do have an accent, but apparently what i write in english sounds way better than what i write in my first language :smile:

i guess thats because i usually read english books, newspapers, etc... im not even sure i could write an essay in hungarian lol

hehe I like the news about the ratio of guys and gals. :biggrin:

I think all international students who come over speak good English. If they don't I think they will struggle immensely in lectures.

I dont mind international students. I have a fetish for Swedish, German and Russian boys. :smile:

Actually, I am Swedish, but I already have a Girlfriend going to Warwick with me ( Linda, Norwegian in case anyone wonders). Otherwise, I quite dont see what Germany , Sweden and Russia have in common :biggrin:
