Remove international students numbers from the Immigration statistics
Britain is acquiring a poor reputation as a study destination for foreign students which will be exacerbated by Brexit. We need to stabilise this important contributor to universities finances and the wider economy, and immediately address fears about Brexit.
In 2013-14 there were almost 67,500 international students attending London universities – making up 18% of the total student population in the capital, and 22% of the 310,000 international students across the UK. They contribute £1.32bn in fees; £1.36bn in subsistence spending, and £121m from their friends and families who visit them in the UK.
