Advocates for the UK’s Graduate visa are gearing up efforts into protecting the post-study work right opportunity for international students ahead of a review into the scheme.
The government announced a review into the two-year visa option for international graduates to “prevent abuse” and “protect the integrity and quality of the UK’s outstanding higher education sector” in early December.
The Migration Advisory Committee is expected to continue the review of the route into ‘late 2024’, after first focusing on an Immigration Salary List review in the first quarter of the year.
Key stakeholders representing the country’s sector have been voicing concerns that the government could be looking to end the route after facing pressure around high net migration figures.
