(from ICEF Monitor) Amidst the turmoil of Brexit, a new report states that just one cohort of international students adds more £3.2 billion to the British economy over the first ten years following graduation. Researchers from the London School of Economics report £1.2 billion stems from EU students and £2 billion from non-EU students. These amounts do not include international students’ tuition fees, which alone inject billions a year into the British economy. Despite the economic benefits demonstrated in report as well as previous research, the U.K. government has for several years restricted international students’ post-study work rights and established policies aimed at reducing immigrants, including international students.
