Visa Requirements
The UK Government has a specific department responsible for visas and immigration, known as the Home Office or UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) which has responsibility for the regulations that enable students to come to the UK for study. The University is a licensed sponsor of and has strict duties placed on it when dealing with international students.
The University is directly responsible for any individual coming to the University who seeks a Student visa (previously Tier 4) as we will actively sponsor them during their studies. We also have a wider duty to ensure all our students have the right to study in the UK.
If we don't comply with our responsibilities as a Student/Tier 4 Sponsor, we could ultimately lose our Sponsor Licence and our ability to recruit and retain international students.
The Immigration Rules change frequently and those that apply to our student population are monitored by the members of the Immigration Compliance Team.
