Asked

Whether antisemitism on university campuses forms part of her Department’s assessment when developing student visa policy.

Reply

The Student visa route is designed to enable genuine international students to study at eligible UK education providers while maintaining the integrity of the immigration system.When developing student immigration policy, the Home Office considers matters relevant to the effective operation and integrity of the immigration system, alongside the Government’s wider migration objectives.Licensed Student sponsors must act with integrity as education providers and assess whether prospective students meet the requirements of the route and are likely to comply with the conditions of their permission, including complying with the law. Higher education providers are responsible for meeting their sponsor duties and managing their campuses and student communities. The Government is clear that antisemitism has no place in our society.
