A pleasure today to host our annual celebration of international students with @Jacqui_Smith1 @MattWestern_ Through their unique experiences of volunteering and local collaboration, we heard how international students enrich UK communities with lasting impact #WeAreInternational
Our Co-Chairs @PaulBlomfieldMP and @Lord_Bilimoria welcome the news that the Graduate route will remain:
“The Government has confirmed that the Graduate route will be maintained in its current form …

“There is still more that the next Government and universities can do together to build on the Graduate route’s contribution to our international competitiveness and its economic benefits for every region of the UK.
3/4
“The report published by the APPG last year sets out a roadmap for achieving these aims, with 10 simple recommendations that should now be considered anew for implementation.”

Our Co-Chairs @PaulBlomfieldMP and @Lord_Bilimoria have written to @JamesCleverly calling for changes to the policy that prevents #postgraduate #students from bringing #dependants to the UK.

APPG Co-Chairs @PaulBlomfieldMP + @Lord_Bilimoria:
"The Migration Advisory Committee’s report is clear: the Graduate visa has achieved the Government’s objectives and should remain in its current form. We must now end the debate on its future which has been damaging recruitment.
"We need a clear and unequivocal commitment from the Government to the future of the Graduate route, and more support for international students in order to maximise its benefits for them, for employers and for communities.”
For the APPG's full recommendations of how to strengthen the Graduate route and enhance its value to to the economy and the whole of the UK, read our report from last year: internationalstudents.org.uk…

The Migration Advisory Committee review has concluded that the UK’s graduate route should remain in place after it found “no evidence” it was being widely abused #MACreport

A pleasure to host our annual celebration of international students with @ucas_online @UKCISA & LEARN yesterday. A reminder of how we all benefit from the ways international students enrich the UK and why we must continue to celebrate their diversity and contributions to society.
We welcome these new materials and support the work of ISEG @UKCISA
Employers’ awareness of the ways in which international students can be employed and the positive impact they have on workplace productivity and the UK economy is key to our success.

A landmark report showing insights into how the UK’s graduate route visa has impacted the sector shows a glaring “lack of data” surrounding where international graduates go and what they do after their time at UK institutions

As part of our Inquiry into the effectiveness of the Graduate visa we invited international students and graduates to share their views and experiences.
Thank you to @UKCISA @AGCAS @BUILAcommittee for supporting our efforts to include and listen to the student voice.

The Westminster government “must publicly commit to maintaining the graduate visa”, a group of MPs and peers has urged, following suggestions that the home secretary, Suella Braverman, is moving against the scheme and amid rising Tory opposition. @APPGIS

The Graduate visa needs stability.
Our new report calls on Government to provide reassurance on its future.
“The Graduate visa has been central to the success of the IES. The UK must not fall behind other nations in attracting and retaining top talent”
