The two-year period students can stay in the UK after finishing their degrees will stay in place after Lord Cameron and Jeremy Hunt made arguments to the prime minister.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has bowed to pressure from some of his senior cabinet colleagues over proposed changes to the graduate visa scheme. Reports had suggested he planned on either shortening or scrapping the two-year period students could stay in the country after completing their studies, as he faced increasing pressure from the right of his party to lower record-high legal migration.
They will include the tightening of restrictions on agents that market British degree courses overseas and subjecting some international students to mandatory English tests. But Mr Sunak is still likely to face a backlash from the likes of former home secretary Suella Braverman, who today called for the whole graduate visa route to be scrapped, and ex-immigration minister Robert Jenrick, who has called it 'a backdoor for foreign students to do low-wage work'.
