The UK government white paper on post-Brexit immigration system, was published on the 19th of December 2018. This provided proposals on how the UK immigration system intends to function following the UK's exit from the EU. Although these are only proposals, however, the paper proposes significant changes to all aspects of immigration, which includes various proposals affecting, students who wish to transfer into work-related route, work related routes and other areas. Indeed, paragraph 15.4, of the paper states, "We [...] intend to launch an extensive 12-month programme of engagement with sectors across the UK.

"We will maintain rules that to undertake further study a student must demonstrate academic progress. It must be a route to allow access to our world leading institutions, nor a back-door route to work or settlement".
No discussion as to entitlement to student finance and home student fees status for those outside the implementation the scope of the Withdrawal Agreement after the implementation period, were outlined in the paper. This was considered to be a matter for Parliament, the Devolved Administrations, and UK Government, which were to be considered in due course.
