The study shows that the UK’s academics are also becoming more global, with more than a quarter (28 per cent) of academic staff coming from outside the UK in 2014-15, according to Hesa data, compared with less than a fifth (19 per cent) 10 years earlier.

Analysis of World Economic Forum data also shows that UK “scientific research institutions” are now ranked second in the world for quality, up from seventh in 2008-09, behind only Switzerland. The ranking is based on the results of a survey that asked leading business executives in each country how they perceive their local institutions.
