Right to study: providing your evidence

It is a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requirement that at the start of their programme, all students, including UK citizens, provide the University with evidence of their right to study in the UK.

University Regulation 6.2.i states that “all students must provide the University with current, valid identity documents to evidence their eligibility to study in the UK. Failure to provide ID or present documents for verification as required, will result in the University withdrawing the student from study”.
