New migration rules: threat to UK science and STEM
From Spring 2024 the UK government is making a number of changes to immigration rules. Overall, these rules risk:
• Negatively impacting the security, mobility and future employment opportunities of some overseas workers already in the UK, for example those who had planned to switch from a Graduate Visa to a Skilled Worker Visa, or those employed in a role previously classified as a Shortage Occupation
• Undermining the flexibility, attractiveness and competitiveness of organisations that operate in areas where skills and expertise are often highly specialised and where career pathways and collaborative networks typically traverse national borders.
