White Students in the Minority at 27 Universities
2nd July 2026
White British students are a minority in almost one in five universities, analysis by The Telegraph has found.
In the 2024-25 academic year, white UK-domiciled students comprised less than 50 per cent of the student population at more than two dozen universities across the UK.
Yet almost a dozen of these institutions continue to exclude white students from diversity scholarships that target students from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.
