The number of applications to study at University College Jersey has risen by 20% this year.
UCJ will have more than 200 higher education students based at Highlands College this September.
The surge is thought to be down to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on travelling to the UK to study.
The local college works in partnership with UK universities based in Plymouth, Sussex and London to offer degree qualifications.
