Brexit is expected to create a significantly positive impact for Indian students interested in pursuing higher education in the UK, especially for those enrolling on postgraduate programmes at UK universities. In December 2018 the Bristish government revealed its ambitious immigration plan highlighting the increasing need for skilled professionals in the UK economy. In the post-Brexit era, Indians and other migrants from the non-EU regions will hugely benefit from such a demand and favourable immigration policies.
