UK universities to review international student admissions after recruitment controversy
UK universities are reviewing international student admissions following controversy over recruitment practices, including concerns about “bad practice” among agents. Universities UK, representing university leaders, is conducting reviews into the use of recruitment agents and international foundation programs. The aim is to ensure fairness, transparency, and robustness in the admissions process, amid accusations of lowering entry standards for international students. The reviews will also examine entry requirements for international foundation courses and update the admissions code of practice to clarify its applicability to international students.
