01 UK universities restricting recruitment of Bangladeshi and Pakistani students
英国高校限制招收孟加拉国与巴基斯坦学生
As of early December 2025, several UK universities — including the University of Chester, Wolverhampton, East London, Sunderland, and others — have suspended or limited new enrolments from Pakistan and Bangladesh. The decision follows tightened Home Office visa-sponsorship rules requiring institutions to keep visa refusal rates below 5 %, down from the previous 10 %. Universities cited persistently high refusal rates (18–22%) for applicants from these countries as the reason. The policy shift is seen as an attempt to safeguard the UK’s immigration and education system integrity, but it draws criticism for potentially penalizing genuine students from South Asia.
2025 年 12 月初，多所英国高校宣布暂停或限制来自巴基斯坦和孟加拉国的新生招生，原因是英国内政部大幅收紧签证赞助 (sponsorship) 标准——高校必须将拒签率控制在 5% 以下，而该国学生群体拒签率仍高达 18%–22%。此举被视为英国为维护签证体系与高校合规性的紧急应对，但也引起教育界与留学生中介对种族／国籍歧视与留学公平性的担忧。

02 New international undergraduate and graduate enrolments fall sharply in US and Canada this Fall
美国与加拿大 2025 秋季国际本科/研究生新生入学急降
A survey released in late November 2025 by the international educators' association (NAFSA) covering 461 institutions from 63 countries reveals a notable decline in new international undergraduate and postgraduate enrolments in the U.S. and Canada during the Fall 2025 intake. The drop reflects visa delays, stricter immigration policies, and growing economic headwinds, raising concerns among higher-education institutions reliant on international student tuition and fees.
根据 2025 年 11 月底公布的 NAFSA 调查，涉及 63 个国家、461 所高校的数据表明：美国和加拿大在 2025 年秋季学期的新国际本科生与研究生入学人数大幅下降。调查将原因归结为签证审批延迟、移民政策趋严以及经济因素，对依赖国际生学费收入的高校构成压力，也使这些国家的留学吸引力受到挑战。

03 Australia introduces new directive to balance international student numbers (MD-115)
澳大利亚出台 MD-115 指令，调节国际学生分配
The Australian Government announced on 12 November 2025 that a new policy — Ministerial Direction 115 — will take effect on 14 November, replacing the previous Directive 111. The directive re-allocates how international student visas are processed by prioritising visa applications and distribution among institutions, especially aiming to shift more intakes toward regional colleges and reduce overconcentration in big cities. The policy reflects Canberra’s effort to manage international student numbers more evenly across geographic areas.
澳大利亚政府宣布自 2025 年 11 月 14 日起实施新的签证分配政策 MD-115，以替代此前的 Directive 111。新规调整国际学生签证处理与分配机制，鼓励国际生流向区域院校、减轻大城市院校的过度集中。此举被视为澳大利亚应对国际生数量管理、平衡地区教育资源与缓解城市压力的重要政策。

04 Australia urges early submission of complete student visa applications for 2026 intake — warning of delays if incomplete
澳大利亚呼吁 2026 届国际学生尽早提交完整签证申请，不全或遭拒
Ahead of the 2026 intake cycle, Australia’s Department of Home Affairs has issued a public notice urging prospective international students to submit their student visa applications early and ensure completeness. The advisory warns that incomplete or late applications may face delays or refusals, especially during peak processing periods. The aim is to minimise processing backlogs and ensure timely enrolment.
澳大利亚内政部在 11 月发布通知，提醒计划 2026 年入学的国际学生尽早提交完整的学生签证申请。通知指出，在高峰期内不完整或延迟提交申请，容易导致签证审批延迟或拒签，影响学生按期开学。此举为减缓签证积压、保证招生流程顺利的重要提醒。

05 UK business schools hit by visa squeeze and proposed fee levies: international applications drop sharply
英国商学院遭签证政策与学费征税双重压力，国际申请大幅下滑
A recent report shows that nearly 40% of UK business schools saw a drop in international postgraduate applications and enrolments this year, driven by stricter visa rules (e.g. Graduate Route curtailment, ban on dependents) and proposed 6% levy on international tuition fees. The reductions hit MBA and other postgraduate courses particularly hard, threatening revenue streams for institutions heavily dependent on overseas students.
2025 年 11 月下旬，多家英国商学院报告今年国际研究生申请与入学显著减少 — 将近 40% 的商学院受影响。主要原因包括签证政策收紧（研究生工签期限缩短、留学生家庭成员陪读被限制）以及英国拟对国际学生学费征收 6% 附加费。MBA 等高成本项目首当其冲，给依赖国际学生学费收入的高校带来严重财政压力。

06 University of Essex to cut 400 jobs after overseas student numbers plummet
埃塞克斯大学因海外学生人数大减将裁员 400 人
The University of Essex announced significant staff cuts and closure of its Southend campus following a sharp drop in international student recruitment — a decline reported at about 52% since 2021–22. The university cited an immediate budget deficit and the need to re-shape operations for sustainability: roughly 400 jobs are planned to be removed (200 academic posts in the short term, 200 professional services over two years) and Southend campus activities consolidated to Colchester. The case exemplifies how UK institutions heavily dependent on overseas tuition face sudden financial strain amid policy and market shifts (visa changes, action plans, recruitment constraints). The announcement prompted concerns from unions, local MPs, and students about community impacts and transition arrangements.
埃塞克斯大学因近年国际生招生骤降（报道指自 2021–22 年下降约 52%），宣布将裁减约 400 个岗位并关闭其 Southend 校区，课程与学生将并入 Colchester 校区。大学称此举为确保长期可持续性所必需；但工会、地方议员和学生对裁员与校区关闭带来的社区与教学影响表示担忧。该事件凸显高校对国际生学费依赖所带来的财政脆弱性。

07 Australia’s vocational education crackdown voids thousands of diplomas — tens of thousands affected
澳大利亚职业教育整顿导致数万毕业证书失效，学生权益受冲击
Australia’s vocational education regulator (ASQA) has deregistered a number of substandard training providers since 2024–25 and voided thousands of qualifications, affecting at least ~30,000 graduates according to investigative reporting.The cancellations span aged care, early childhood, construction and community services diplomas — some students having paid substantial fees.
澳大利亚监管机构对劣质职业培训机构展开整顿并撤销多家机构资质，导致至少约 3 万名毕业生的证书被认定无效，影响领域包括养老护理、早教、建筑等。监管方称此举为维护教育质量与公共安全，但批评者指出大量学生被“株连”，补偿与申诉问题亟待解决；该事件也折射出职业教育在国际招生链条中的脆弱环节。

08 Universities Australia renews collaborative agreements with Chinese partners despite pressures
澳大利亚大学在压力下仍与中国高校续签合作协议
Amid domestic scrutiny of international students, Universities Australia and some institutions continue to maintain and renew collaborative agreements with Chinese universities and recruitment partners. Press coverage in November 2025 highlighted renewed MOUs and student pathways while stressing that institutions seek better compliance and quality assurance in partnerships. The continuity of cooperation reflects both the financial and academic value of China-Australia education links despite political sensitivity.
尽管澳洲国内对国际学生和职业教育出现严格审查，澳大利亚大学与中国高校及合作方仍在 11 月续签合作协议并推进通道建设，媒体指出院校在坚持合作的同时更强调合规与质量保障，显示中澳教育交流仍有现实需求与学术互补性。

09 Germany to welcome ~405,000 international students in 2025
德国 2025 年预计接纳约 40.5 万国际学生
DAAD and German higher-education reports in November 2025 project Germany will host approximately 405,000 international students in 2025, reflecting steady growth driven by tuition-free undergraduate opportunities, workforce pathways and targeted recruitment. Germany’s Skilled Labour Initiative and increased international scholarships were cited as supporting measures. The trend underscores Europe’s attractiveness as a relatively affordable, research-intensive destination and its role as an alternative to anglo-centric destinations for many students.
德国学术交流中心（DAAD）在 11 月发布的统计/预测指出，2025 年德国预计接收约 40.5 万名国际学生，得益于较低学费或免学费政策、技能型人才引进计划以及奖学/招聘举措。德国正成为对成本与研究并重学生的主要选择之一，院校也在增加英文授课与国际服务。

10 New Zealand: China remains top source market for international students in 2025
新西兰 2025 年仍以中国为最大国际学生来源国
At China-focused education events in late October/November 2025 New Zealand’s education promotion agencies reiterated that China remains the largest source of international students for New Zealand institutions, with tens of thousands of Chinese students enrolled across universities, polytechnics and language schools in early 2025.
Officials emphasised continued bilateral recruitment, pathway programmes and transnational partnerships despite competitive pressures from other destinations. The data underlines the ongoing strength of Sino-New Zealand educational ties.
