Research Professional: Visa pilot blamed for giving unfair advantage to certain universities
Published on February 27, 2018
Chief Executive Maddalaine Ansell is featured in an article by Research Professional on the government’s Tier 4 visa pilot for masters students.
A total of 27 universities are now part of the scheme that seeks to make it easier for students from outside the European Union to get a visa for masters degrees. However of ‘the 27 participating universities, 18 are members of the group of research-intensive universities’.
Maddalaine said she hoped the Home Office would extend it further, “with greater transparency about the criteria used in selecting institutions”.
