New measures will allow international students to seek employment for up to a year
Graham Watson's insight:

Another little ruse thought up by the government to offset the adverse effects of Brexit, with the government announcing that international students will be permitted to stay in the UK for a year post-graduation.

 

It is hoped that this will help maintain overseas student numbers in the wake of Brexit, and enhance the quality of the UK labour force, boosting LRAs and potential growth.
