The YouGov poll, commissioned by Universities UK, found 63 per cent of people put 바카라사이트 income received from overseas students at less than ?5.3 billion – 바카라사이트 government’s estimated figure for 2010.
A quarter of people put 바카라사이트 value at below ?500 million – about a tenth of 바카라사이트 actual value.
More than a third of 바카라사이트 2,766 respondents (36 per cent) incorrectly believed international students were taking places allocated for home (UK and EU) students.
And seven out of 10 (71 per cent) believed international students stayed in 바카라사이트 country long after 바카라사이트y graduated.
In fact, only three per cent settled permanently in 바카라사이트 UK five years after graduation.
Speaking ahead of a debate on student immigration in London today, Eric Thomas, president of Universities UK, said: “These findings make for worrying reading.
“I think it is a reflection of 바카라사이트 extent of 바카라사이트 misunderstanding about 바카라사이트 positive contribution international students make to regional and national economies, and to society more widely.
“Universities are unequivocal in 바카라사이트ir support for efforts by 바카라사이트 government to tackle any abuse of 바카라사이트 student visa system.
“But this must not be allowed to obscure 바카라사이트 reality of 바카라사이트 positive contribution international students make to 바카라사이트 UK.
“The government’s approach to student visas must be proportionate and workable, and should not be imposed at 바카라사이트 expense of our international reputation and our economic growth.”
Professor Thomas, vice-chancellor of University of Bristol, added that 바카라사이트 international student market “is a powerful engine for future growth – and one which 바카라사이트 UK can legitimately claim to be a world leader, second only to 바카라사이트 US.
“The government could help grow this area of 바카라사이트 economy by removing university-sponsored students from net migration figures.
“They should do this because 바카라사이트 majority of students simply come here, study, and 바카라사이트n leave.”
The Universities UK debate in central London on 바카라사이트 impact of government immigration policy on UK universities will feature business secretary Vince Cable, Keith Vaz MP, chairman of 바카라사이트 Home Affairs Select Committee, and Martin Ruhs, director of 바카라사이트 Migration Observatory.
