We will continue to reform the student visa system to tackle abuse, and deliver an effective immigration system that is fair to British citizens and those who play by the rules. At the same time, we continue to be committed to ensuring our top universities are a magnet for the best students from around the world.

Our immigration rules for non-EU workers already cater for highly skilled workers, including academics, scientists and researchers
