Are the majority of students studying Classics home students?

Hi, at UCL majority of UG students are international. For the courses of Classics or the Ancient World, is there still a majority of international or is it different?
I ask because i go to an international school and have a lot of international friends and it wuold be nice to have more home friends. Thanks!!

I don't think Latin/Greek is that popular among international students, so hopefully there won't be many of them!!

Think the BA Ancient Languages (which is a joint honours course with the Greek & Latin department) has had a good proportion of international students in recent years. It's a fairly small course though so won't be a huge proportion of the Greek & Latin department. When I did a couple modules in the department a few years ago there were certainly some international students, the above 70-30 is probably about what it was then.



Why "hopefully"?

Because it's ridiculous how many of them take up university spaces from hard working British students. Yes they may bring in more money for the university, but institutions like UCL are overrun with them. Why is 48% of the UCL student body made up of international students?? It's hard enough to meet people in university anyway, but when half of the students are from a completely different culture and primary language is different to your own it makes it even harder. A friend of mine is at UCL and about three fourths of the students on their course speak mandarin and they constantly feel isolated because there are no other British students!!!
