MAJOR CHANGE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WITH DEPENDANTS

Many students with courses starting on or after 1^st January 2024 will not be able to bring their partners and their children to the UK.

Recent changes to the law mean that only those students studying for a Ph.D./other doctoral qualification, or those on a research-based higher degree, can be joined by their dependants.

Whether this deters students from coming to the UK remains to be seen. It is widely anticipated that universities will suffer from reduced international student fees.
