Big Relief for International Students - Migration Advisory Committee recommend retaining the Graduate route/PSW in its current form

The UK Government has conducted a rapid review of the Graduate route /PSW , which allows international students to stay and work in the UK post study. The review, undertaken by the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), confirmed the route's success in supporting the integrity of UK higher education. However, it highlighted concerns about some agents mis-selling UK education to prospective students.

Key Points:

• The UK Government conducted a rapid review of the Graduate route for international students.
