The UK released the much-anticipated requirements and application forms for the new HSMP, including the MBA provision. While the programme overall should attract new highly skilled managers to the UK, the programme is somewhat restrictive in that anyone who graduated before 2 December 2004, when the list of eligible schools was released, is not eligible.

Immigration in general in the UK has come into the spotlight due to the upcoming elections, with both the Labour and Conservative parties claiming they will push for tighter immigration laws. It remains to be seen how the retoric will affect voters when they go to the polls on May 5.

It's good news for highly skilled migrants wishing to move to Australia. The Government is currently reviewing its immigration numbers, and is said to be considering increasing immigration levels by an extra 20,000 places in 2005.
