The UK government has announced tougher rules for universities recruiting international students, warning that institutions with high levels of visa abuse could lose the right to sponsor overseas students altogether.
The new measures, announced by the Home Office, are aimed at reducing misuse of the student visa system and preventing individuals from using study routes to claim asylum or enter illegal employment. Universities that fail to meet stricter compliance standards will face penalties, including restrictions on student recruitment and, in severe cases, a ban on enrolling international students.
