ThatnkRemoving the right for international students to bring dependants unless they are on postgraduate courses currently designated as research programmes

It is the same information from HO that we all have access to. As per the news, from January 2024 it stops. The route is not closed, only it is conditioned
E.G. Removing the right for international students to bring dependants unless they are on postgraduate courses currently designated as research programmes. .

What does it mean
Research program. Like phd.

Can
Student just
Msc program bring her dependents???

Correct, research programmes mean PhD... and I also would include MRes (Master by research).

MSc, MA, etc are taught and not research programmes hence this new rule applies.

I would say better to confirm with the University.
