Crackdown on student visa scam
Despite Labours promises to tighten up on this loophole 313,011 non-EU students were granted visas in the 12 months up to March, bringing with them 31,385 dependants. This figure was up from 235,295 students and 24,780 dependants the previous year.
Pathetic no wonder this country is viewed as a soft touch by would be illegal immigrants

Never figured out where our own students go as these foreigners must take all the places ..... why don't we make them pay a £10,000 bond, they collect it on the way out

I remember watching that TV program Border Force (something along the lines). I was amazed to see such operations fronting as universities and colleges in UK, encouraging illegal immigration. I admit I've only seen the program a few times, but in some ways it was an eye-opener for me.
I think with regards to students .... if it's a financial issue that is leading to UK students losing out to international students for seats on courses, then perhaps the government needs to address that issue with Universities, whilst not allowing education standards to dop. If the international students have better education records than the UK students (prior to University), then the government needs to improve education standards. Lets not forget that UK students can choose to study abroad themselves, as is done by students in many countries.

i think Oxford College of Management Sciences use to be above a pub ideal for students
Oxford College of Management Sciences is dedicated to the provision of a first class learning experience that will equip the student with the skills, ability and knowledge to successfully compete in their chosen discipline regardless of ethnicities, gender, disabilities or any discrimination.
its time non EU students were only allowed to attend 'proper' unis and colleges and not those run above a pub or chippy, this racket been going on for many years now
and some good news
