My immigration status...
International students' information about registration, visa advice, BRP collection and work.
Our international students have quite a few administrative steps to take, but we have advice for you here.
When will I need to provide my immigration documents?
When you start your programme, you will need to present your passport and visa at registration. Please see the International Student Registration page for further details.
If your change your passport or visa during your studies, you must present your documents to the Student Records Counter, Rutland Building, or Student Services desk, London campus, within five working days of receipt. If you are returning from overseas, for example after a Leave of Absence, you must show your new visa before you can recommence your studies. Further details can be found in the Student Handbook.
Where should I go for advice about my Visa?
The University's Student Advice and Support Service can provide immigration advice. This includes guidance on how to make a new Student visa application.
How do I collect my BRP?
Please see guidance on Collecting your BRP from either a Post Office or the University at the link below.
Am I allowed to work while I'm studying, and for how long?
Please see the Students' Work Entitlements page in the Student Handbook for detailed information.
