An increasing number of British students are willing to study overseas, a new survey carried out by British Council indicated.

The survey, Broadening Horizons 2015, was launched earlier this year. Nearly 3,000 students aged between 16 and 30 took part in the survey, resulting in 34 percent saying they are interested in studying abroad.

The new survey also showed that 50 percent of students who are considering studying overseas would like to do at undergraduate level, while the figure a year ago was only 35 percent.

The British Council revealed the survey on Thursday.
