The United Kingdom is becoming less attractive to international students. Why?

The main reasons are as follows:

Tuition fees: Everyone knows about the rising tuition fees. The UK uses price leverage to directly drive away students whose families are not wealthy enough through rising tuition fees. Yes. This is especially true for international students, especially Indian and Pakistani students.

Visa: Since April 2012, students have had to deal with the relatively stringent Tier 4 visa. Students have to face possible random interviews and more stringent review of materials. There are also requirements for English proficiency. At the same time, British universities are experiencing a worldwide funding crisis, and the British government's new visa policy has created an atmosphere that is not welcoming to international students.

The new government cracks down on illegal immigration: After the general election, the new government put the issue of immigration on the table. The rising tuition fees and the strict visa system have created an environment that is not good for international students. Especially It was the then Home Secretary Theresa May's remarks that created a "really hostile environment for illegal immigrants" that had a very bad impact. It was portrayed by the media as a xenophobic and racially discriminatory policy that strangled a lot of funds from international students.
