From the BBC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-19419395

A London university has been banned from teaching overseas students,
leaving more than 2,000 undergraduates potentially facing deportation.
London Metropolitan University has had its ability to sponsor students
from outside the EU revoked, and will no longer be allowed to authorise visas

Chedarking: I always warned people to stay away from London Met and its Mickey Mouse courses...

afam4eva: I hope same fate won't befall Middlesex university.

Chedarking: I honestly cant understand why any foreign student will want to study in the UK anyway.
You cant work afterwards here.
Your degree is less impressive cos employers back home know you must come back...
You just come here and waste your money in the name of 'foreign' education.

And untop of all that, the UKBA can decide to deport you without letting you finish your degree...for NO crime of yours!

Brethren please stay back in Nigeria or go to the US/Australia/Anywhere we can influence the price of Garr1 in the market!

afam4eva: Most universities in the UK are crappy anyways except the Oxbridge schools.

frosbel:

You do not know what you are talking about.

The UK has some of the best universities in the world other than Cambridge and Oxford.

1. University of Manchester - World Rank 48
2. University of Liverpool - World Rank 181
3. University of Leeds - World Rank 133
4. University of Birmingham - World Rank 148
6. London School of Economics - World Rank 47
7. University of Sussex - 99
8. University of Bristol - 66


The list goes on and on.

Now let us start with our best university of Ibadan which is ranked 2475 not even near to some of the worst in the UK.

I am just trying to correct your wrong impression that only Oxbridge schools are of a high standard.

We have a long way to go.

justwise:

I will not be surprised, you have to wonder how some students managed to get an admission even when they can't speak or write properly.

obadiah777: getting an admission into UK universities is not dependent on intelligence. the society runs on money. if you are a cretin with the IQ of a lobotomized snail, so long as you have the money to pay for tuition they will fall over themselves to accept you. sall about the moola babyyyyyyyyyyy. tis only in naija where you have to do jamb etc to enter uni

lond07:

Well argued. Including the link to your source would have added more credibility and seal the mouths of the ST' Thomases

violent:

Most of these surveys are nonsensical, political and trivial by nature. I'd want a really sound argument that puts University of Sussex at 99 and Kyung Hee University of Japan at 351.
