Approximately 57% of all undergraduate visa students studying at SFU were originally
admitted to SFU from a B.C. secondary or post-secondary institution.
In looking at the top five countries, Singapore and Hong Kong show decreases of 29%
and 16% over last Fall. Three countries show increases: United Kingdom (93%),
• ?
Indonesia (33%), and Taiwan (27%). See Figure 1 for the ten year trend in these top
five countries.
At the graduate level, 328 visa students registered at SFU, a 3.0% decrease over last
Fall. Graduate visa students make up 13.4% of the graduate population.
Approximately 38% of the international graduate student population comes from two
countries: The People's Republic of China (24.4%) and the United States (13.4%).
