London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/17/2015 -- A recent report released through Imperial College London emphasizes the significant contribution overseas students make to Britain and the economy. This has led to rising calls for overseas students to be more positively received and championed for their contribution to London's aspiring status of the education capital of the world. According to the report, London attracts 100,000 international students annually; and they also support 37,000 jobs – often in highly skilled roles. This emphasises, again, the potential positives brought by overseas students.
This positive news follows on from months of criticism of immigration processes, with some people calling for limits across immigration areas – including students. The recent results show the importance of considering the contributions individuals can make instead. Overseas students are integral to progress within areas such as science and technology, a point articulated by a senior academic, Professor David Gann CBE at a recent discussion on the subject.
Also keen to comment on the news was immigration and nationality law expert Garth Coates Solicitors – a group of trained solicitors and lawyers. A spokesperson had this to say:
"It is important that the contribution of overseas students gets the positive attention it deserves. The UK offers a great place to study and it matters that the best minds are coming to contribute – from all over the world! This can be seen as something which is highly exciting. Ensuring that firm legal foundations are in place is essential for anyone who desires to study in the UK from overseas and here at Garth Coates we provide full information and support."
