The UK Immigration System Must Keep Attracting Exchange Students
Universities UK
The UK government has been called on to reform the Visitor immigration route by increasing the length of time short-term exchange students are permitted to stay in the UK from six months to one academic year. The contribution of international students to the UK is celebrated and discussed within the higher education sector. However, not as much attention is sometimes given to another important cohort of overseas student visitors: exchange students. These students are those registered at a university overseas who choose to spend a short period of that time studying at a UK university. This report looks at who these students are, how they contribute to the UK, and how the UK's immigration system can best attract them. In turn, this will set the UK up for success in the Turing Scheme, through positioning the UK as an attractive partner destination.
