Are UK Student Visas going to become easier to get?
A recent report by the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for International Students has concluded that as a result of the increased regulations and restrictions on gaining a UK student Visas has resulted in a considerable loss of income for the UK Education sector. It concluded that “International students bring huge benefits, but restrictive policies mean they increasingly go to the US, Canada or Australia,” A key recommendation is to remove students from immigration targets. The report says, measures like the ending of post-study work visas in 2012 have contributed to international students opting for competitor countries. The report recommends that the UK Government enacts the following:
- a “clear and ambitious” target to grow international student numbers and a commitment to remove them from targets to reduce migration
- a post-study work visa allowing up to two years of work experience in the UK
- an EU deal giving unrestricted movement for students and researchers and clarity on funding
- export earnings from education to be included in trade strategy
- clear, welcoming and consistent messages to international students
- employment support for international students in their home countries
