Butser farm is flushed with success


Butser Ancient Farm, an experimental archaeology site in the South Downs National Park, is offering new experiences showing how people lived in the past. The site has a new Iron Age


roundhouse, built using different techniques to show how houses could be constructed on boggy marshes. Its refurbished Roman villa has a new


mezzanine floor and a Roman latrine experiment – using Weetabix to explain how the toilets worked. butserancientfarm.co.uk

International students are worth £20bn to UK


According to new research, overseas students in the UK generate a net benefit to the country of £20.3 billion. The London Economics study for the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) Kaplan International Pathways found that the UK welcomes 231,000 new international students each year. The gross benefits – including tuition fees, other spending and economic knock-on effects – amount to £22.6 billion, while the costs totalled £2.3 billion.


Nick Hillman, HEPI director, said:


“International students bring economic benefits to the UK that are worth ten times the costs of hosting them. “Trying to persuade the Home Office


that international students nearly always benefit the UK can feel like banging one’s head against a brick wall. “In the past, they have not accepted


figures on the benefits on the grounds that they ignore the costs. Our work, in contrast, includes all the potential costs and conclusively proves these are small compared to the huge benefits.” Linda Cowan, Kaplan International


Pathways managing director, added: “The UK has been phenomenally successful in recruiting international students, second only to the US. “Other countries – notably Australia


– have been catching up and the UK is now showing signs of losing ground. “The challenge now is to ensure the UK provides a compelling and attractive offer as the best place to study. We need a bold commitment from government as it considers the immigration bill to show the UK welcomes international students more than ever.” hepi.ac.uk
