Universities UK (UUK) has reported that postgraduate taught enrolments plunged by up to 44% last month.
This decline is not unconnected to the recent regulations introduced in January, which restricts postgraduate students from bringing family members to the UK, including other regulations on international student recruitment by the UK government.
According to Universities UK (UUK), findings from a London Economics study, estimated that the graduate visa scheme attracted an additional 632,000 international students over five years, contributing an unexpected £62.6 billion to the UK economy during their studies.
