honestly don't know. Staff in agricultural colleges are worried as
the
courses change towards golf and equestrian. I suspect that we have
so
few universities that do agriculture (Reading, Newcastle, Wye,
Nottingham, Bangor are the ones that spring to mind but I haven't
looked
at a prospectus for a generation) that they can fund themselves with
foriegn research. I know Reading used to take an awful lot of
students
from Africa and the commonwealth.

Our hydrology department was nearly half Chinese grad students once.

UK universities do do a lot of recruiting overseas, always have.
