Universities face financial crisis as international student applications fall 11% by July
University leaders are warning of financial trouble after new figures showed an 11% fall in student visa applications by the end of July. The drop in international students, who pay higher fees, could see some universities facing losses if the trend continues. They are urging the government to scrap a new £925 levy on each international student to help ease the pressure.
