Your market here
Pick a country and this says how many of its students University of Cambridge teaches, what share of its international cohort they are, and how large a recruiter it is from that market. Every figure is arithmetic on what HESA publishes — nothing here is modelled, ranked by us, or scored.
How concentrated its recruitment is
45% of University of Cambridge’s international students come from its three largest markets — China, United States, Singapore. It draws on 96 countries in total. A provider concentrated in one or two markets is more exposed to a visa change or a currency move in those markets; that is a fact about the shape of its intake, not a judgement about the provider.
Its students from China split first degree 835, other undergraduate 10, postgraduate (research) 640, postgraduate (taught) 565.
Students from China, 2014/15 to 2024/25
Each year is rounded to the nearest 5, so a small market moves in steps of five and a change of five may be rounding alone.

Counts are rounded to the nearest 5 by HESA, so shares and ranks carry that rounding. The rank compares the 157-odd providers that make a country return — not all 947 sponsors on this site, most of which are schools and colleges with no HESA return at all.
