UK Business Schools Face Decline in International Enrolments Amid Visa Policy Changes
UK business schools are experiencing a significant decline in international student enrolments, with 69% reporting decreases, particularly at the postgraduate level. This trend is linked to changes in UK immigration policies, including visa restrictions and limits on dependants. The decline has led to financial losses for universities and the wider economy, with estimates of a £2.1 billion economic impact and thousands of jobs at risk. Further reductions could deepen these effects, raising concerns about higher education funding and economic contributions.
