The United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA) is the department responsible for immigration law. The immigration law is published in a document called the Immigration rules and can be found under law and policy on the UKBA web site.
Colleges and Universities have to apply for a license (Sponsorship license) and for students it’s called a Tier 4 sponsorship license. UKBA then visit the college or University and give it a ‘rating ‘ with Highly trusted being the highest rating, followed by ‘A’ rating and ‘B’ rating.
FROM APRIL 2012 ONLY HIGHLY TRUSTED COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES WILL BE ABLE TO SPONSOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS……IT IS VITAL THEREFORE THAT YOU CHOOSE A REPUTABLE COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY THAT WILL STAY IN BUSINESS AFTER THIS IMPORTANT CHANGE.
NB: Even Highly Trusted colleges and Universities can have their Highly Trusted status taken away, so we encourage all students who are choosing to study at a college rather than at a University to fully research the college, its academic record, and its reputation.
Did you know that some publicly funded colleges can run courses with a work placement PLUS give you 10 hours a week work permission?
Did you know that you cannot work at all if you study at a private college?
Did you know that you can work 20 hours a week if studying at a University?
