Questions and panel discussion chaired by Eric Thomas



The debate covered:

• The impact of Government immigration policy to date on the UK higher education sector;
• The ways we can secure an immigration system that targets abuse of the student visa system, without adversely affecting a market that is now worth in excess of £5bn to the UK economy, and is a key driver for future growth;
• How we can ensure that our universities continue to attract world-class academics to conduct research at our universities and teach our students.
