The
UK's Home Office has issued a new Tier 4 sponsorship licence to
London Metropolitan University (LMU). The Home Office made the
announcement on 9th April 2013 and said the licence would be
effective immediately. LMU's previous Tier 4 sponsorship licence was
revoked on 29th August 2012.
A
Tier 4 sponsorship licence allows a UK educational institution to
sponsor potential students from outside the European Economic Area to
apply for a UK Tier 4 student visa. You cannot obtain a Tier 4 visa
unless you are sponsored by a licenced UK educational establishment.
On
29th August 2012, the UK Border Agency, which was until 1st April
2013 in charge of UK immigration control, revoked LMU's sponsorship
licence. The UKBA claimed that it had done so because LMU had not put
systems in place to ensure that international students
- Spoke university-standard English
- Attended lectures while at LMU and
- Had valid Tier 4 visas entitling them to study at LMU.
