Support migrant centric journalism today and donate

The United Kingdom's points based system is about to be expanded so that from the end of this month students both adults and children will need to come under Tier 4 of the points based system.

Changes to the Immigration Rules were published on 9 March 2009. From 31 March 2009 all long term students will need to come under the new UK Tier 4. In addition, the relevant University, college or other educational institution will need to be a licensed sponsor to sponsor the student.
