Motion to First Council

International Students and the right to appeal

 

 

This Union notes:

1. The Immigration, Nationality and Asylum Bill which is being debated in parliament this year will restrict the right of appeal for those refused a visa to study in the UK.

2. Clause 4 of the bill amends the 2002 Act to remove the right of appeal.

3. 30% of international students receive a visa on appeal. 

4. That NUS, Universities UK are also opposed to the withdrawal of the right to appeal.

 

This Union believes:

1. That international students contribute greatly to the cultural diversity of the Higher Education sector.

 

This Union resolves:

1. To lobby to have the Immigration, Nationality and Asylum Bill amended.
