In line with that commitment, a consultation will be launched before the end of the year focusing on Tier 4 of the points-based system - the student route - which currently accounts for two-thirds of migrants entering the UK each year. By introducing a system that is more selective and more robust, the government is aiming to stamp out abuse while continuing to attract the top students to our top universities.
The consultation, which will run for 8 weeks, will seek views on a range of measures to reduce the number of students that can come into the UK, such as:
for adult students, focusing Tier 4 on higher-level courses and those offered by Highly Trusted sponsors;
introducing tougher entry criteria such as English language competence;
ensuring that students wishing to extend their studies show evidence of academic progression;
limiting the student's entitlements to work and sponsor dependants; and
improving the accreditation process for education providers, alongside more rigorous inspections.
Theresa May added:
'I want to ensure that students and education providers are of a high quality.
'People imagine students to be those who come here for a few years to study at university and then go home - that is not always the case. We estimate that nearly half of all students coming here from abroad are coming to study a course below degree level where levels of compliance with immigration requirements are not high enough.
'While we will protect our world-class universities, we want suitably qualified students with the genuine desire to study to come to our country. We must also have a more robust system to ensure that students leave the country at the end of their legitimate stay.'
