The Home Affairs Committee is undertaking an inquiry into what the post-Brexit migration policy for the UK should be.

Universities Scotland responded highlighting the importance of migration for the higher education sector in Scotland. In our submission we highlighted:

• The UK’s decision to leave the EU offers an unparalleled opportunity to review the whole migration system
• There is a strong case to support devolution of aspects of immigration policy
• Remove international students from the net migration targets
• We welcome the move to a more evidence-based approach taken by the UK Government
• The UK Government must work with the whole HE sector on merit in regards to immigration policy
