This sharp reduction is linked to recent changes in immigration rules that now bar foreign students from bringing family along to the United Kingdom while on taught masters degree programmes.

The policy seriously deterred students from Nigeria and the Indian subcontinent

Additionally, the UK Graduate Route is currently under review by the Migration Advisory Committee, with fears the permitted work period may be reduced from the current 2 to 3 years to only 6 months (or even cancelled altogether).

Previously, following the COVID pandemic, there had been an upsurge in the numbers of overseas students going to the UK.

According to Enroly (a digital platform that helps over 60 UK universities streamline international admissions), when comparing January 2024 figures with January 2023, the biggest reductions in university placement deposits were from:

Nigeria -71.9%
Sri Lanka -60%
Bangladesh -52.8% and
India -36%

I just had to check.
Wetin happen?

We break this policy process into five stages: (1) agenda setting, (2) formulation, (3) adoption, (4) implementation and administration, and (5) evaluation. Naturally, reality is more complex: stages overlap, do not necessarily follow in this order

This is expected when you implement policy. There is nothing shocking, they already knew before they passed the policy.
