Labour moves on graduate route visas ‘not off the cards’

RPN webinar hears from policy experts on future of university funding, REF and OfS

Labour could still act to restrict the graduate route visa, despite signals of support for it from the education secretary, a former government adviser has warned.

Speaking at a webinar, After the Vote, held on 18 July by Research Professional News to discuss what the new government means for UK research, Diana Beech, chief executive of higher education umbrella body London Higher and a former adviser to three Conservative universities and science ministers, said “any further moves [on] immigration and the graduate route are not off the cards”.
