Suella Braverman has announced new limits for international students to bring family with them to the UK, under proposals released on Tuesday.

This new limit was introduced as the government seeks to reduce immigration numbers. The rule makes an exception for students on courses designated as research programmes, such as PhD students or research-led masters courses, who will still be allowed to bring dependants with them to the UK.

The changes will come into effect from January 2024 to allow future international students time to plan ahead.

We would like to hear from students and prospective students who will be affected by the new rules. How will this affect you and your family? Do you have any concerns?
