Overseas Students: Fees and Charges
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential financial impact of the proposed International Tuition Fee Levy on English Universities.
- Answer
-
The immigration White Paper sets out a series of measures that will achieve a reduction in net migration, while maintaining the UK’s globally competitive offer to international students and making a significant contribution to growth by boosting our skills base.
This includes the commitment to explore the introduction of a levy on higher education provider income from international students, with proceeds to be reinvested in the domestic higher education (HE) and skills system. The department will engage with the HE sector on the design of the international student levy and wants to understand providers’ views on this work.
