中國學生申請英國大學的人數激增30%

Applications from Chinese undergraduates to study at British universities have increased by 30 percent since last year, with numbers exceeding those from Northern Ireland for the first time, according to official statistics released Thursday.

據周四發(fā)布的官方統(tǒng)計數據顯示，自去年以來，中國大學生申請英國大學的人數增加了30%，首次超過了來自北愛爾蘭的學生。

Ucas, the university and college admissions service, revealed in its latest report that it had received 19,760 applications from students in China this year, accounting for about three percent of the total. Last year the number of Chinese applicants was 15,240.

大學和學院招生服務機構Ucas在其最新報告中透露，今年收到了來自中國學生的19760份申請，約占總數的3%。去年，中國的申請人數為15240人。

For the first time, the Chinese applicants, slightly more than 18,520 from Northern Ireland, has become the fourth largest group after those in England, Scotland and Wales.

第一次，來自中國的申請人略多于北愛爾蘭的18520人，已經成為繼英格蘭、蘇格蘭和威爾士之后的第四大群體。

It is believed that the real figure will be higher as not all Chinese applications are made via Ucas.

據了解，實際數字將會更高，因為并非所有的中國申請都是通過Ucas完成的。
