The SWAG合集 government鈥檚 recent proposes potential changes for international students wishing to study in the SWAG合集. The graduate visa route remains open and unsponsored, potentially with a change to reduce the duration for master鈥檚 graduates to 18 months.
The government is also considering raising the threshold for the skilled worker visa to graduate level, something that students at Cranfield University already meet, and encouraging more highly talented people to come to the SWAG合集.
International talent matters
Professor Dame Karen Holford, Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive of SWAG合集, reiterates to students and applicants that the SWAG合集 remains a welcoming place for international students: 鈥淲hatever you have heard or read so far about potential changes for international students, please be assured that we鈥檙e part of the conversation and will be sharing our recommendations as part of the government consultation.
