Employers and international graduates are both in luck after new legislation has been passed allowing foreign students to remain in the UK for a year after they have got their degree. The entitlement is on the proviso that the graduate will take up work and many are set to try their luck in jobs in pharmaceutical sales jobs and telecommunications. From May 1st, non-British students who pass a bachelors degree or earn a postgraduate qualification will be allowed to extend their visas. This gives employers and graduates an excellent opportunity, with the Department of Education hoping the move will "cement the UK's status as a top study destination for international students". The decision has been welcomed by the National Union of Students and universities across the country. Universities UK (UUK) told the Guardian that it was "good news for the UK higher education sector". Meanwhile, the BBC has reported that overseas students are contributing £240 million each year to the economy in the east Midlands through fees and living expenses.
