Stakeholders have called for a review by the UK government into how international students fare after graduation to better understand the student experience.
It comes as new research conducted by UUKi, HEPI and Kaplan showed that international students contribute £42bn to the UK economy during their time in the country.
At an event showcasing the research, vice principal for international at the University of Dundee, Wendy Alexander, made the comments on a discussion panel.
“This research only looks at the value of students to the UK during the time they’re studying, but does not look at their longer term financial contribution back in their home country or in the UK,” she said.
