Postgraduate Taught Pulse Update as of Oct 2023

Our unique Pulse trackers and Share of Search data provide insights on thousands of prospective international students interested in UK Masters study opportunities. As of Oct 2023, we’re seeing that:

• Both Domestic and International audiences are now feeling more positive about UK Masters study
• Audiences are focussed on Spring and Autumn 2024, but residual interest in Autumn 2023 is still much higher than we’d usually see at this point in the cycle
• The UK has quickly retaken the top audience spot with encouraging year-on-year growth. Europe is also up, whilst South Asia is growing rapidly. Africa is down year-on-year but no longer falling in-year
• Professional subjects (such as Business, Law and Education) are generally down for both audiences with growth in Life Sciences and Psychology.
