Weirdly, despite all that, migration to the UK was a record high this time last year, and although it has reduced a bit since then it remains massively higher than before Brexit — see graph half way down the article: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c89pvd58nd3o |

> According to separate Home Office figures, 393,125 student visas were issued to foreign students in the year ending December 2024.
> That is 14% fewer than in the previous 12-month period, but still almost 50% higher (46%) than in 2019.
So a 14% decrease between 2023 and 2024. I am willing to bet this will go down further this year.
The post-brexit surge in international students was driven by UK universities leaning on foreign students to fill their financial hole. The fees for domestic students will start to go up now that foreign student enrollments are declining.
