Students should be allowed to complete up to three courses on a single visa to ensure the UK does not fall behind its rivals in attracting overseas talent, according to a new policy proposal from London Higher.
Diana Beech, chief executive of the umbrella body that represents 50 institutions in the capital, has warned that UK higher education will “lose out financially” if action is not taken to further boost the country’s appeal abroad.
In a new report, published on 12 October, the organisation argues that overseas students face a “bureaucratic burden” and significant expense by having to reapply for study visas for each stage of their higher education.
