The University of the Arts London’s vice-chancellor and the leader of Australia’s University of Wollongong discuss why UK immigration policy is deterring international students'The sooner you go home the better': is this the UK's message to international students? With universities in the UK facing significant threats to their finances, international students and their higher fees are likely to be more important than ever. Wollongong, based in a coastal city in New South Wales with additional campuses in Sydney, is one of the country’s most successful recruiters of international students. Like Wollongong, it’s one of the leading British universities in terms of proportion of international students, with 39% of students currently coming from abroad according to in-house figures. All universities say that international students matter because they make a campus a much more exciting and creative place.
