Considerations for the new Secretary of State as he develops a major policy document on Higher Education

In advance of the forthcoming Immigration White Paper, CaSE and 35 other organisations have written to select Westminster Parliamentarians.

This briefing summarises attitudes to immigration, international students and researchers, and their impact on UK R&D. It is based on evidence from a nationally representative survey of 4,100 UK adults in June 2024 and two focus groups in December 2024.

This report sets out evidence on the integral role of R&D in driving progress on the UK Government’s missions.

CaSE has taken a look at what the latest numbers of students taking A-level, GCSE, and Scottish Highers and Advanced Highers in STEM-related subjects means for ongoing trends in STEM education.
