To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of UK Visas and Immigration decision-making in relation to international students on the financial sustainability of UK universities; and how her Department is liaising with the Home Office to help ensure effective cross-government...
The government has been clear that we welcome international students who meet the requirements to study in the UK and positively impact our higher education (HE) sector.
The Office for Students (OfS), the independent regulator of English HE providers, has statutory duties relating to financial sustainability. The government works closely with the OfS to monitor financial risks across the sector.
Ultimately, HE providers are independent from government and as such must continue to make the necessary and appropriate decisions to ensure their long-term sustainability.
All study visa applicants are required to meet the genuine student requirements set out in the Immigration Rules. UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) considers each application on its individual merits. Department officials regularly engage with the Home Office and UKVI to discuss range of issues pertaining to the study visa route.

Note: The Department does not routinely retain historical reports showing the stage reached within the Special Adviser review process at a specific point in time. The figures therefore reflect information extracted and validated on 28 September 2026.

The figures are management information derived from the Home Office's case management system and supplementary information provided by the Special Adviser Private Office. They have not undergone formal quality assurance.
