The number of postgraduate students travelling from non-EU countries to study at UK universities has fallen for the first time in 16 years, fuelling fears that the government’s immigration crackdown is discouraging thousands of the brightest students from continuing their studies in Britain.
Jo Beall, British Council director of education and society, said the fall would cause alarm among UK vice-chancellors(大学行政主管). "The sector was expecting a decline in growth, but the actual reduction in postgraduate numbers is of real concern as international students make up the majority of numbers in many postgraduate courses and research teams in science, technology, engineering and mathematics."
"Attracting the brightest and most ambitious postgraduate and research students is critical if the UK is to maintain its quality reputation for research," Beall said.
Universities get a third of their tuition(学费)fee revenue from non-EU students. There is growing, fear among vice-chancellors that this revenue—as well as the cultural, academic and economic benefit international students bring—is being put at risk.
Tim Westlake. director for the student experience at Manchester University, said students whose families relied on them working in the UK after their studies to gain experience and repay the fees were starting to look elsewhere.
Last month the home secretary, Theresa May. announced that embassy staff would interview more than 100 000 applicants in an attempt to prevent bogus(假冒的)ones entering the country. She also said immigrants were responsible for pushing up UK house prices. The comments followed the introduction of new limitations on students’ right to work during and after their studies.
Beall said:"Government statistics for the first time provide real evidence that the changes to UK visa regulations may have discouraged many students from applying to the UK, and in particular postgraduate Students who are so important to the UK’s research output. The UK enjoys an excellent reputation around the world for the high quality of our education system, so the government needs to ensure that institutions have all the support they need to attract international students who make a tremendous academic, cultural and economic contribution to the UK."
Why do UK universities try to attract postgraduate students from outside the EU?
选项

B、Non-EU postgraduate students arc usually highly motivated.
C、The number of UK postgraduate students has fallen sharply.
D、Some of the postgraduate programmes are specially designed for non-EU students.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。定位段提到,英国大学三分之一的学费收入来自非欧盟学生。大学行政主管们对于国际学生带来的这种经济收益正受到威胁越来越担忧。由此可以推断,英国大学想要吸引非欧盟国家学生的一个主要原因在于收取学费,从而增加收入,故答案为A)。
