Immigration and Visas

Whether you are a current student requiring immigration and visa advice or are a prospective student requiring information on applying for your visa, we have information and resources to help you.

Important announcements

eVisas - creating a UKVI account to prove your immigration status

eVisas replaced physical immigration documents (such as biometric residence permits) on 1 January 2025. In order for you to access your eVisa, and travel easily back and forth to the UK, you will need to create a UKVI account.

Scams targeting international students

We occasionally receive reports of scams involving telemarketers claiming to be from HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) stating that the University has not paid tax that you owe. HMRC will never directly call you asking for money and will never ask you to any money on behalf of the University. Find out more about scams on this page.
