A survey conducted by the British Universities' International Liaison Association revealed that 90% of UK universities experienced a decrease in international student applications, with a notable 27% drop compared to last year. Concerns mount over potential restrictions to the graduate visa programme, allowing international graduates to work in the UK post-studies for up to three years. Declining applications from Indian students further highlight the impact of visa policy uncertainty. University organizations advocate for the continuation of the programme, emphasizing its significance to UK culture, economy, and academic landscape. The outcome of the government's review holds substantial implications for higher education institutions.
