immigration policy for foreign students

Additional Information

Immigration practices are causing a dramatic drop in UK foreign student applications. UK Government should implement recommendations of House of Lords Science & Technology Report http://tinyurl.com/nbqbvca

- Treat student numbers separately for immigration policy making purposes.
- Review the package for international students every two years to ensure it is globally competitive.
- Improve the way information is provided to prospective students to ensure welcoming and clear language is used.

When we need to send the message that international STEM students will get a warm welcome in the UK, they’re getting the cold shoulder and heading elsewhere.

International students contribute significantly to university finances, often partly subsidizing courses for domestic students. They also make a huge contribution to the academic, intellectual and cultural vibrancy of UK universities, and enrich the experience for domestic students.
