What impact does the success of Brexit have on international students besides the exchange rate?

Benefits brought by Brexit to China students

1. Changes in tuition fees

If Brexit is successful, the pound may depreciate and the exchange rate will fall. For China students, it also means that the tuition fees for studying in the UK will drop. However, if you leave the EU, the long-term fluctuation of the pound will increase.

2. Not regulated by the European Union

The European Union plays a certain regulatory role in all aspects of life, including energy conservation and environmental protection, food and energy. If Brexit is successful, these controls will also disappear, and international students will be relatively free. Someone once joked that if Britain succeeds in leaving the European Union, it can buy small bananas. After all, the EU now has to take care of the weight and length of fruits! Vegetarians also said that if Britain succeeds in leaving the European Union, it can eat mixed salads, because the EU explicitly prohibits it.

3. Ensure your own safety

The crime rate in Britain is low. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics last year, the crime rate in England and Wales decreased by 13% compared with the previous year, which is the lowest since the crime rate was investigated in 1981. Compared with other European countries, Britain is very safe. Even after the success of Brexit, there is no need to worry about security issues.

Disadvantages brought by Brexit to China students

1. Prices have risen and living expenses have increased

According to data released by the British Treasury, Britain's national income will be reduced by 3% by 23 after losing the EU, its largest trading partner. This part of the loss can only be obtained from taxpayers' pockets by raising prices and other means. Coupled with various economic reasons such as the depreciation of the pound, prices after Brexit should rise overall. Finally, the exchange rate has dropped, and prices have risen again. Although tuition fees have dropped, the living expenses have risen a lot!

2. The Schengen visa is very troublesome

Many international students will choose the Schengen visa when they arrive in the UK (a visa issued by any Schengen member country is also considered valid in all other member countries, and there is no need to apply for another visa) and go to European countries to make a sweep. Once Britain leaves the European Union, the relationship between EU countries and Britain may become awkward, and the convenience for us studying in Britain to travel around Schengen countries with a visa may also be threatened.

3. Increased employment pressure

If the Brexit is successful, the number of European students studying in the UK will be greatly reduced. It is estimated that Brexit will cause more than 11, Eastern European students to choose to leave. A large number of brain drain, fewer competitors, relatively speaking, the employment opportunities of international students in China will increase, but with the economic impact, the number of jobs will also shrink, and they should still be more competitive than Eastern Europeans or British natives in recruitment interviews. Generally speaking, the employment pressure will still increase.
