BEIJING - China's Ministry of Education (MOE) published a notice Monday reminding Chinese students to Britain to be prepared for the ending of work permit for foreign graduates on April 6.

The notice, published on the website of the MOE, said Chinese students should make appropriate arrangements for their study programs as well as part-time-jobs before their visas expire.

The British government recently announced the new visa policy for overseas students.

The British government has also raised the standard for overseas students' English proficiency and the sum of property proof to ensure their living in Britain, together with a tighter restriction on their taking part-time-jobs.

People can get more information on the British policy for overseas students at homeoffice.gov.uk, as well as from British universities suggested by the MOE at jsj.edu.cn, the MOE said.
