There was good news for international students today as Government Chancellor George Osbourne blocked potential plans for those coming to the UK to study having to return home after graduation and apply for another visa.

Home secretary Teresa May had raised the potential for the policy to make it into the forthcoming Conservative General Election Manifesto, but Osbourne wasted no time in vetoing the plans. ASIS and its university recruiting partner, SI-UK Education Council, recently lobbied former Foreign Secretary William Hague, while ASIS Principle David Boddy met Osbourne in early January to discuss the issue. Boddy commented: “We have been putting pressure on the UK government to recognise the enormous financial and social contribution the international student community makes to Britain. Most quality graduates will easily qualify for a starting salary over the threshold.”

The UK government expect up to 600,000 international students to be studying in the UK by 2020. If you are interested in learning more, arrange a free consultation with SI-UK today.

Hay buenas noticias para los estudiantes internacionales hoy, ya que el Canciller del Gobierno George Osbourne bloqueó los planes potenciales para que aquellos que llegan al Reino Unido para estudiar deban regresar a casa después de graduarse y aplicar por otra visa.

ASIS y su socio de reclutamiento universitario, SI-UK Education Council, recientemente cabildearon al ex Secretario Exterior William Hague, mientras que el director de ASIS David Boddy conoció a Osbourne en los inicios de enero para discutir el asunto. Boddy comentó: “Hemos estado presionando al gobierno del Reino Unido para que reconozca la enorme contribución social y económica que la comunidad estudiantil internacional hace en la Gran Bretaña. La mayoría de los graduados de calidad quilificarán fácilmente para un salario inicial sobre el límite.”

El gobierno del Reino Unido espera que hasta 600,000 estudiantes internacionales estén estudiando en el Reino Unido para el 2020. Si estás interesado en conocer más, agenda una consulta gratis con SI-UK hoy.

"Last year, I reached out to SI-UK, Jaipur for my Master’s journey, and it has been an incredibly fulfilling and successful experience. From guiding me through the application process to assisting with letters of recommendation and statement of purpose, and even following up with universities, SI-UK provided comprehensive support at every step of the journey. They went the extra mile, assisting with admissions, fee processing, accommodation arrangements, visa guidance, and coordination on medical checkups. I firmly believe that my admission to the University of Birmingham wouldn't have been possible without SI-UK. I highly recommend SI-UK to anyone seeking admission to a UK or Ireland university."
