The number of international students applying to undergraduate courses at UK universities has risen for a second year running. New data shows 115,730 students from outside the UK applied to start in September, up from 114,910 last year

But the new data excludes postgraduates - and universities remain worried overall numbers will fall.

The Home Office is facing a High Court challenge over the "mistreatment" of people applying to renew and extend their visas.
A judicial review challenging the Government’s actions towards hundreds of thousands of people with the immigration status known as "3C leave" has been launched by the Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex & London (RAMFEL).
The status is granted automatically to those applying to extend their visas, and ensures that their rights, including the right to work, are protected while the application is processed.
However, RAMFEL says the Government does not give people on 3C leave proof of their immigration status, and this means they spend the period they are waiting to learn if their renewal has been successful with "no proof of their status, rights and entitlements".

Visa holders have been wrongly suspended from work, seen disability benefits stopped and education jeopardised while waiting for visa renewals, a migrant charity has said

The UK government has modified its earlier announcement to increase the salary requirement for bringing family members to the country. The initial proposal to raise the current threshold from £18,600 to £38,700 has been reconsidered. Instead, the new threshold will be set at £29,000 from next spring. The government has also planned further increases at unspecified dates in the future. This change of plan was confirmed by Lord Sharpe of Epsom, a Home Office minister, in response to a parliamentary question. According to him, the salary threshold would increase in incremental stages to provide predictability. The aim is to eventually raise it to £34,500 and then to £38,700, but no specific dates have been given yet.

Department unexpectedly announces interim increase to just £29,000, with no timeline given for planned full rise to £38,700
