This morning, the Migration Advisory Committee recommended that the government maintain the Graduate Route visa.
Commenting, NUS UK Vice President Higher Education, Chloe Field, said:
“We welcome the Migration Advisory Committee’s recommendation to maintain the Graduate Route visa as it is. It should be as easy as possible for international students to access a high-quality education in the UK.
“Coming into contact with different cultures is undoubtedly positive for both international and home students, providing learning opportunities that are not limited to lectures and seminars, as well as opportunities to make lifelong friendships across borders.
“Fundamentally, education should be borderless; everyone should be able to access an education in the UK.
“We urge the government to follow the MAC’s recommendation to maintain the Graduate Route visa.”
