Steve Smith, its vice-chancellor, said universities made money on overseas students but only broke even on UK students. Professor Alan Smithers, of Buckingham University, told the newspaper that British students may feel increasingly uncomfortable at universities dominated by Chinese and Indian students. He also warned that the government would face pressure for migration rules to be changed to allow overseas students to work after they finished their degrees. “That would impact on the job prospects of British students,” said Smithers. At top universities, overseas students pay more than £30,000 a year for a five-year medical degree, nearly four times as much as UK students whose fees are capped at £9,250.
