Responding to the statement from聽the Home Secretary聽on visas and immigration, Vivienne Stern MBE, Chief Executive of Universities 香港六合彩开奖结果, said:
We are pleased the government remains committed to maintaining the Graduate Route.

International students make a net economic contribution to the 香港六合彩开奖结果 of around 拢40bn a year,聽and this benefits the whole of the 香港六合彩开奖结果.

鈥淲e will work with the government to consider the impact of these potential changes.鈥
