Brexit and its impact on study in UK – Global Tree

Brexit or Britain’s exit from the European Union which was voted by a referendum held across UK is expected to come into effect from March 2019. When the policy comes into effect it may have some significant consequences for immigrants as well as students who come from different countries to study in UK. We take a look at some of the possible effects of Brexit on international students.

Will I be affected by Brexit?

If you are thinking of studying in UK and are not from a European country then it is very unlikely that Brexit will have an impact on your admission to UK. The requirements for visa as well as the selection criteria and amount of tuition fees would probably not see a drastic change. However there can be an indirect effect on the fees charged by universities on account of the fluctuations in the British Pound brought about by policy changes. The GBP has lost nearly 15 percent of its exchange value against the Euro since the confirmation of Brexit, which may indicate further decline when Brexit comes into effect.

International students in UK

According to many university heads as well as educators International students who seek to study in UK would still be welcomed, however there may be few new policies which aim to reduce immigration from both workers and students. This can lead to a lowering in demand for education in UK and an increase in demand for studies in other European countries. Moreover if immigration policy becomes stricter and academics find it difficult to immigrate to UK, then the quality of research and teaching in UK can decline. However as negotiations are still going on between UK and the European Union countries it is to be hoped that a deal will be reached which can be beneficial to students from across the world.

UK’s proposed Immigration changes to benefit Overseas Students

Student Visa Eligibility for Overseas Education in UK

The UK government is expected to change the rules for immigration in a way that makes it easier for Overseas Students to obtain work in the country, in a move that signals a major shift in the approach towards a more welcoming stance. The proposed changes include plans to allow students who pursue Overseas Education in UK to be eligible for switching to a Skilled Worker Visa as soon as they have completed their selected course rather than waiting for their degree to be awarded – were detailed in Budget documents published on 22 November.

There have also been few suggestions from certain factions sector that the Home Office is planning to take a new stance with regards to students who come to UK for Overseas Education. The home office is expected to extend a pilot scheme that eases visa rules for students who are applying for Overseas Education to Master’s Courses at the prestigious Universities of Cambridge, Bath, Oxford, and Imperial College London.

According to the “Red Book” of the budget the government will be changing immigration rules to enable world-leading scientists who are endorsed under the Tier 1 pathway for applying for settlement after three years in UK and speed up the process for Highly Skilled Students who pursue Overseas Education in UK to apply to work in the country after they finish their degrees and reduce the bureaucratic delays in hiring international researchers by relaxing the test for labour market and allowing the UK’s research councils to sponsor researchers

Effect of proposed changes to Overseas Education Students

The proposed changes will allow Students to Apply for and obtain a Tier 2 Skilled Worker Visa as soon as they complete their course or after writing their final exam instead of having to wait until they have received their degree. The change is thought to be in response to universities feedback to the Home Office that the present rules are causing difficulties for Post Graduate Students. In another move, the change to the Exceptional Talent scheme will cut down two years from the five-year wait faced by students currently for eligibility for settlement. The legislation for changes in the rules of immigration is expected to be scheduled in the spring.

A spokesman for Universities in UK has hailed the positive changes for both staff recruitment and the improved speed for students to take up work after completion of their studies. The spokesperson hoped that in the coming months the government would further commit to a strategy for growing the number of students seeking Overseas Education in United Kingdom.

Different stances on immigration

Different sectors in the United Kingdom sectors can take different stances on immigration, with some lobbying for a light touch with regards to EU nationals for tier 2 and tier 4 visa, while some are expected to lobby for alternative ways for EU citizens. The Tier 2 Visa Requires employers to register and maintain salary thresholds, which may restrict the ability of EU students to stay on in the United Kingdom and seek work after graduating.
