The Today Programme: David Metcalf on work and residence visas to non-EU students

4 December 2009

The government's chief immigration adviser has called for a review of "lower tier" colleges over fears that too many foreign students are being given visas at the end of their degree courses. Professor David Metcalf said he was "stunned" to discover hundreds of colleges which were not "proper" universities could grant two-year work and residence visas to non-EU students. Professor Metcalf discusses visa system.
