Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many non-EU international students left the UK three months after completing their course in (a) 2016 and (b) 2017.

This data is not available.

The Home Office introduced exit checks in April 2015 to provide more comprehensive information on travel movements across the UK border. Exit checks data published last year indicated that 97% of students in 16/17 who were required to leave did so in compliance with the terms of their visa.
