Britain's MBA schools fear Brexit may hit enrolment of foreign students

New York

BRITAIN'S exit from the European Union casts a shadow over thousands of prospective applicants looking to attend a business school in one of the most desirable MBA markets in the world.

The UK's new prime minister, Theresa May, made it clear earlier this month that foreign students wouldn't be exempt from the government's push to decrease immigration. As home secretary she implemented visa changes that made it harder for students from abroad to stay in the country after graduation. A crackdown on immigration was at the heart of the Leave movement calling for Britain's exit, or Brexit.
