The High Potential Individual Visa

Frey Lindsay investigates what some African students are required to do to get a place to study in the UK – and what that costs.

We examine the cost and relevancy of English language tests and explore the visa pathways that exclude some Africans.

Young African academics tell us about their frustrations and the enormous expense involved.

Nigerian policy specialist Ebenezar Wikina tells us about his campaign trying increase inclusion for those Africans who speak English and education scholar Samia Chasi explains why academics and institutions in poorer countries deserve more of a place in global education.
