UKBA


This section explains how you can apply to come to or remain in the UK as an adult student under Tier 4 (General) of the points-based system.

Guidance for international students sponsored by London Metropolitan University

This page is for students from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) who are studying at London Metropolitan University or are planning to study there. We will update it with any new information.
Tier 4 is part of our points-based system for immigration. It is for migrants who want to study in the UK.
This page contains basic information about the Tier 4 (General) category. Other pages will help you to decide whether you can and should apply in this category, and will give you the information you need to make an application.
If you know the Tier 4 (General) requirements and you want to make an application, you can go directly to the Applying from inside the UK or Applying from outside the UK pages.
Depending on your nationality and circumstances, you may be able to study in the UK without needing to apply under Tier 4 (General) as an adult student. However, your ability to work while you are studying here may be restricted.
