The Council of Ministers in Belgium has approved a proposition to give students from non-EU countries 12 months to find a job after their course ends.

International students waiting for visa decisions from Canada fear an announcement on PSWP eligibility will not help them with their immediate problem.

The UK has confirmed that the dependants of postgraduate Tier 4 students who get a PSW visa from 2021 will "have near full access to the UK labour market".

The UK's former universities minister Jo Johnson has outlined plans to help the UK regain market share within international education - doubling Indian student numbers and extending post-study work rights are core aims.

Students of 32 UK universities have urged UK political parties to commit to a fairer immigration system and extend PSWRs to current international students.

Universities UK International has released a "tool kit" explaining the country’s new post-study work rights in an effort to help businesses benefit from hiring international graduates of UK institutions.

International students were found to have generally higher graduation rates than Canadian citizens and permanent residents, but when looking at their ability to combine studies and work, they fared less well.

While the UK sector has rejoiced at the UK's announcement to re-introduce PSW rights, some stakeholders have confirmed that they have been "inundated" by students wondering if they are eligible and some of those were considering moving their start date in order to benefit.
