Three-quarters of international students on post-study work visas in the UK are employed in graduate-level positions, a new study has found.
The results would appear to contradict previous claims by Suella Braverman, the home secretary, that foreign students work in low-skilled jobs and do not contribute to growing the economy.
According to reports, the Home Office has proposed reducing the time that overseas graduates can stay in the country from two years to six months – although this policy is said to face opposition within government.
A new report from the Association for Graduate Careers and Advisory Services (AGCAS) surveyed hundreds of international students from across 77 nationalities in 2022.
