Are more overseas students at British universities good or bad for our economy?

You and Yours

Available for over a year

More overseas students at British universities: Is it good or bad for our economy? A new report suggests growing numbers of science and maths students are coming from abroad to study at UK Universities. But there's concern that many simply return to their home country after graduating, taking their skills and knowledge with them. If you're an engineering or technology firm struggling to recruit British graduates we want to hear from you. Are you worried that we won't be able to compete in the future? Or do international students offer the perfect opportunity to develop trade and business links with the rest of the world. Call You and Yours with Julian Worricker. An opportunity to contribute your views to the programme. Email youandyours@bbc.co.uk or call 03700 100 444 (lines open at 10am). Producer Sally Abrahams.
