Non-EU Student Migration in the UK: The Impact of New Policies on Education and Employment

The UK’s recent immigration reforms are significantly affecting non-EU student migration. With tighter rules on student visas, restrictions on dependents, and reduced post-study work opportunities, international students, particularly from India, Nigeria, and Pakistan, are facing new challenges. UK universities and key industries dependent on non-EU talent may experience financial strain and skill shortages. As a result, students may look to alternative study destinations, reshaping the UK’s role as a global education leader.
