Arts students are more than twice as likely as science students to have an “international outlook” and to engage in study-abroad programmes, a report has found. The British Council research – based on a YouGov poll of 1,000 people – also discovered that only a third of science, technology and engineering students felt that having an international outlook was important for their subject. The survey, Next Generation UK, reveals that less than half of all students think that having an international mindset benefits their employment prospects.
