India features very strongly among postgraduatetaught degree students. Students from the United States are also prominent, especiallyat other undergraduate and postgraduate levels.53 Undergraduate enrolments of students from the Republic of Ireland have declinedsomewhat, presumably in response to the changed fee regime in the Republic.54 The decline among undergraduate students from Africa noted in last year’s Patternsreport appears to have been arrested and enrolments at taught postgraduate degreelevel are strong.55 Countries of the Middle East and South Asia feature prominently among postgraduateresearch students, including students from India, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia,Iran, Libya, and Egypt.24
