New rule for Malaysian Students in Britain will be imposed in 2011. It would be tougher for them to pursue the education in UK and they will not be allowed to stay upon the completion of their study. The other area affected is the reduction of seats for those students pursuing course below the degree level.
A new standard for English Language requirements will also be imposed. Students will also have to show academic progressions before visa can be renewed. Only one degree will be approved at one time. That mean, if a student applies for his first degree, then he has to return to Malaysia and reapply for another visa to continue for his Masters..
The step is being taken to prevent the students from taking advantage of the immigration rulings and come to Britain mainly to seek employment. Malaysia is at number 5, with 14% of the students stay back upon completion of their study. The highest is Indian with 43%, pakistan 36%, Nigeria at 35% followed by China at 18%.
About 6000 Malaysia left for UK to study every year and about 13,500 current are currently studying in UK.
