## ✈️ Saudi Arabian Students Top Middle Eastern PG Enrolments in the UK

Saudi Arabia led Middle Eastern PG enrollment with 5,320 students in UK universities (2023/24), driven by[ Vision 2030](https://www.hmc.org.uk/blog-posts/vision-2030-education-in-saudi-arabia/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and the[ Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Scholarship](https://monitor.icef.com/2022/05/updated-saudi-scholarship-programme-will-send-70000-students-abroad-by-2030/?ref=newsletters.qs.com), targeting 70,000 students abroad by 2030 across 200 approved institutions. Popular fields included clinical dentistry, engineering, and computer sciences. The UK's appeal stems from shared language, quality reputation, and one-year master's programs offering affordability and post-study work rights. Initiatives like transnational education partnerships,[ International Branch Campuses (IBCs)](https://opportunities-insight.britishcouncil.org/analysis/saudi-arabia-tne-growth-uk-collaboration-opportunities?ref=newsletters.qs.com), and new regulations enabling physical UK university presence in Saudi Arabia have further strengthened the popularity of UK universities among Saudi Arabian students.

Power generation dominated[ global greenhouse gas emissions](https://www.irena.org/Publications/2024/Sep/Renewable-Power-Generation-Costs-in-2023?ref=newsletters.qs.com) at over 25% in 2023, spurring aggressive energy efficiency initiatives. COP28 mandated[ doubling energy efficiency improvements](https://www.irena.org/Digital-Report/Tripling-renewable-power-and-doubling-energy-efficiency-by-2030?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and tripling renewable capacity by 2030, while the US achieved 4% annual efficiency gains through the IRA and BIL. Global[ efficiency investments](https://carboncredits.com/energy-efficiency-hits-660-billion-in-2024-the-worlds-best-bet-for-cutting-ghg-emissions/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) reached $660B in 2024, up 45% since 2019, ranging from building retrofits, EV adoption, heat pumps, and industrial upgrades. Key programs include federal[ appliance standards](https://www.aceee.org/2024-energy-efficiency-policy-forum?ref=newsletters.qs.com), building performance standards, and utility rebates, generating $55B in regional benefits. However, achieving net-zero requires tripling investments to $1.9T annually by 2030.
