Acting CEO of Study London and London & Partners Andrew Cooke said that students from India are a crucial part of the overseas study market for London. The value that they bring to the UK economy must not be underestimated, added Cooke. Andrew Cooke said that their analysis has demonstrated that students from India represent the 4th largest overseas student population in London. They contribute to the UK economy around 130 million pounds through their expenditure. It is very important that overseas students must feel welcomed in London. We look forward to assisting more students from India to study in London, elaborated Andrew Cooke.
