All part-time work rights for non-EU students studying at publicly funded colleges to be abolished
It is expected that the scrapping of work rights for non EU students will be enforced from August and the other changes to be implemented in Autumn,
The summary of changes
- Non-EU students at publicly funded colleges lose right to work for up to 10 hours a week, matching rule for those at privately funded colleges
- The length of further education visas will be reduced from three years to two.
- FE college students will not be able to stay and work in UK when they finish their course, unless they leave the country first (will be exempted if they are registered at an institution with a formal link to a university)
