Students from overseas coming to the UK will be banned from bringing dependents as part of the government's latest attempt to curb net migration.
The only types of students excluded from the rules, which will be enforced from January 2024, will be postgraduates on research programmes. The government says the package will amount to the "single biggest tightening measure a government has ever done".
The move could hit universities which rely on foreign student fees and could also harm the UK’s reputation as an international destination, experts warned.
