Universities should accept non-paid internships for international students

Petition Details

During this crisis many companies are not offering paid internships, and univeraities are not accepting non paid interships. Moreover, the companies are going back if the person is on tier-4 visa.

Additional Information

Many students asked their student services to respond on the situation and no one is coming forth and solving the problem. Many universities are not even showing a least concern

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept petitions about things that are not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. Whether to allow their students to take on unpaid internships is a matter for individual universities, not the Government or Parliament.

UK law already allows international students on a Tier 4 (general) visa to take on unpaid internships. You can find out more here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/843003/T4_Migrant_Guidance_October_2019.pdf.
