The Government has overhauled the student visa route with a package of measures designed to tackle abuse of the route while continuing to attract students to our world-class universities. We consult frequently with the sector through the Joint Education Taskforce and umbrella bodies such as Universities UK. The reforms have protected the universities, offering additional flexibility in relation to work rights and language testing. All genuine students with the right qualifications, sufficient funds to cover their fees and maintenance costs and a good level of English are welcome, with no annual limit on numbers.
