Posted on January 10 2017
Internationally accredited universities in the Britain have made it clear that the Brexit policy does not affect their perspective towards students across the globe. Their primary objective remains to encourage diversity and uphold diverse cultures along with imparting world-class education.
It has been reported by the Top Universities that the campaign ‘We are international’ witnessed participation of more than 100 universities and educational institutions. This was aimed at restoring the faith of the overseas students that will be still greeted in a warm way, in spite of Brexit, as quoted by the Study International.
President of Universities UK Dame Julia Goodfellow has said that the efforts to encourage the principles of multiculturalism, acceptance and freedom of communication must be enhanced. These are the hallmarks of universities in the UK and coveted by the world, added Julia. It is in the best interest of Britain to be forthcoming to the international fraternity and has enhanced association with the nations in the world.
Notwithstanding certain reports in the media, there is ambiguity regarding the future in higher education in Britain, Managing Director of Hobson’s Jeremy Cooper has said that overseas students continue to symbolize crucial prospects for universities in the Britain.
The students from outside the European Union contributed more than 4.2 billion pounds in the form of tuition fees which accounts for on an eighth of the revenue of the universities in the UK. It is for this reason that the educational institutions in Britain recognize the significance of international students. The overseas students assist in enhancing the revenue in higher education and their contribution to the overall economy is quite crucial.
Universities in the UK continue to be the preferred choice of overseas students when it comes to studying Business. The statistics revealed by The Independent state that in spite of studies in management and business being more expensive comparatively to the other graduate courses, the degree holders from business streams have more chances of securing a job after three months of their degree.
It is advisable that an overseas student looks out for universities that have more to offer to the students than mere excellent academics. The differentiating factor for a top business school from an average school is that apart from the study programs that they offer, a top class university must also have an association with the industry and professional practice. They must also be able to offer internship options that are distinct along with having an inspirational vision.
The University of Liverpool’s Management School is an example of a distinct business school that intends to cultivate the talents in students along with offering a world-class education. Director of the University of Liverpool Management School Professor Julia Balogun has said that they offer exceptional and inclusive experience to the students that increase their chances of getting a job offer and also inspire them to develop as citizens who are responsible towards the society.
This is achieved by nurturing a cordial and helpful culture along with providing a cluster of scholarships that idealize diversity, integrity, and equal prospects, added Balogun.

Great News! Canada Opens PR Pathway for Education Students
*Want to migrate to Canada? Sign up with Y-Axis for end-to-end assistance.
Canada’s immigration updates now give international students in education a clear pathway from temporary study to permanent residency. By pursuing the right programs, gaining Canadian work experience, and using Express Entry’s new category-based selection, students can move step by step toward PR.
Stage 1: Choosing a Study Program
Students must enroll in a PGWP-eligible program at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Even programs below a bachelor’s level, such as Early Childhood Education diplomas, now qualify. For regulated professions, like early childhood educators in Ontario, registration with the provincial authority is required to work legally and gain full eligibility under Express Entry.
Stage 2: Getting a PGWP
After graduation, students can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), valid for up to three years depending on the program length. Since June 25, 2025, education has been added as a PGWP-eligible field of study. Language requirements apply—CLB 5 for college-level programs and CLB 7 for university-level programs. The PGWP provides graduates with open work rights, allowing them to gain Canadian work experience needed for immigration.
Stage 3: Pursuing Permanent Residence
With at least one year of Canadian work experience, graduates become eligible for the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and gain additional points in the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). Education professionals also benefit from category-based Express Entry draws, where recent cut-offs were as low as 479 CRS, compared to 534 in general CEC draws.
Example: Candidates like Taima—an Early Childhood Education graduate with strong English proficiency and Canadian work experience—can achieve competitive CRS scores and secure an Invitation to Apply (ITA). A Bridging Open Work Permit can also be requested to maintain legal status while PR applications are processed.
*Want to apply for Canada PR? Let Y-Axis guide you with the process.
One of the most important updates for international students in education is the advantage they now have in Express Entry draws. With education professionals included in Canada’s category-based selection, candidates in this field no longer need as high a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score as others to receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
For international students, especially from India, this policy shift opens up greater chances of permanent settlement while meeting Canada’s growing demand for skilled educators.

New Rule! U.S. visa applicants must now apply in their home country, State Department.
*Want to apply for a US visa? Let Y-Axis help you with the process.

U.S. Department of State mandates in-person interviews for all US visas, with immediate effect.
The new U.S. visa interview rule makes one thing very clear, Indian applicants must prepare smarter and earlier than ever before. With the option to book appointments in third countries now closed, the demand on U.S. consulates in India is expected to surge.
India is already one of the busiest countries for U.S. visa processing. In 2023 alone, more than 1.4 million U.S. visas were issued to Indians, including a record 140,000 student visas. This makes Indian nationals the largest group of international students in the United States
For students planning to join U.S. universities, professionals applying for work visas, and families preparing for visits, this change means careful planning is essential. Applicants should keep track of appointment availability, gather their documents early, and allow extra time for processing.
With visitor visa wait times already exceeding 500 days in India, the competition for slots is only expected to grow. The key takeaway for Indian applicants is to stay informed, act quickly, and plan well in advance to avoid disruptions to their study, work, or travel plans.
