Welcome to our May newsletter

Read on for this month's updates including a summary of key messages from the UK Home Office's recent white paper on immigration, a course spotlight on BSc Nursing Studies, details of upcoming webinars, and a reminder of Surrey's PG recruitment deadlines.

UK Immigration White Paper, May 2025

In May, the Home Office published the Immigration White Paper; we welcome the Government’s decision to retain the Graduate Route. Here at Surrey, we are proud of our international students. International students enrich the diverse cosmopolitan culture of the UK and the University of Surrey.  

Rebecca Hill, Director of International Recruitment at Surrey, was in the House of Lords last week discussing the White Paper, and we wanted to share some of the key messages to help you, and your students, stay informed of the changes being proposed. Please be assured we are keeping the dialogue open, and there is currently no timeline for implementation or revision of the White Paper.
 

Changes to Graduate Visa

  • Graduate Immigration Route - 18 months for all graduates, with a focus on graduates transitioning to graduate-level jobs.  

Did you know?
94% of Surrey international graduates are in employment or further study, with an average salary of £35,795, 15 months after graduating.

Changes to student visa system  
  • Basic Compliance Assessment (BCA) thresholds raising by 5%. We must maintain a course enrolment rate of at least 95% and a course completion rate of 90% in order to pass the compliance threshold and a new Red-Amber-Green system to rate the BCA performance of each sponsor.  

Agent Quality Framework 

  • Surrey committed to the pledge in 2024, and we will continue to work closely with you to integrate the AQF into our agent management. 

Supporting entrepreneurship  

  • The Government will review the Innovator Founder visa to offer support for nurturing entrepreneurial talent currently studying at UK universities. The goal of this initiative is to facilitate a smoother transition into the Innovator Founder visa, for the eligible applicants, planning to build their business and career in the UK.  


MBA Global Changemaker Scholarship

It’s your last chance to invite your students to apply for the Surrey’s MBA Global Changemaker Scholarship. Two fully-funded (tuition-only) MBA scholarships will be awarded to exceptionally talented students, as a 100% tuition fee waiver.
