A spokesperson for Britain's Home Office said international students without results can request a letter of confirmation from their sponsor or return to their home country and apply for another student visa. The University of Edinburgh said 27% of final year students had not received their degree at the time of graduation. International students pay much more, providing a vital source of income. Research published by Universities UK International in May found the 2021/22 intake of international students contributed 41.9 billion pounds to the UK economy. "Every year, universities in the UK are depending more and more on the finances of international students," said Hendricks.

The U.K. government is looking to reduce migration, which could impact international students' ability to study in Britain. LONDON — Foreign students wanting to study in Britain may be turned away unless they have secured a place at a "top university," according to a report by The Times newspaper. The rules will also only apply to foreign students who aren't already living in the U.K. The reported plans to deter foreign students from studying in Britain seem to go against the government's International Growth Strategy from 2019, which was designed to increase the number of international students studying in the U.K. each year to 600,000 by 2030. A representative for the Home Office said there would be no comment on the "speculation" around the idea that foreign students may be prevented from entering the U.K.
