What a week? Finally the right outcome. So much work but a brilliant example of the sector working together. Thankfully the Graduate Route will remain.

The UK Home Office has revealed new proposals to “crack down” on student visas – and while the Graduate Route will remain “under review”, it’s not going anywhere before the upcoming election.

Important research out today outlining the importance of the Graduate Route visa.
It finds those that international student graduates who stay for a further 2 years after graduating are a net benefit to the exchequer, with these benefits set to increase substantially in 2023/4👇

There’s been a lot of talk about international student admissions lately.
We know the public are worried about how fair it is, and we’ve announced actions we’re taking to investigate.
But today's @TheTimes article still gets some important facts wrong 🧵
