• Ammendments in UK student VIsa
|
| The new regulations will ensure that students studying below degree level have a limited ability to work in the UK, and that their dependants cannot work here at all.
It will be even harder for bogus students, whose only aim is to work in the UK, to come into the country.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson also confirmed that the government will implement plans to introduce a points test by 2011 for those who wish to earn British citizenship.
The new measures for students include:
■a good standard of English (equivalent of holding just below a GCSE in a foreign language) will be needed to come to the UK and study to improve English language competency further;
■a good standard of English (again equivalent of holding just below a GCSE in a foreign language) will need to be demonstrated in order to study any other course below degree level;
■restricting the lowest-level courses (A levels and equivalent) to only the most trusted institutions;
■halving the amount of time a student studying below first degree level or on a foundation degree course will be able to work, to just 10 hours during term time;
■a ban on bringing in dependants for anyone studying a course for less than six months; and
■a ban on dependants of anyone studying a course lower than foundation or undergraduate degree level from working - they will face removal from the UK if found doing so.
Alan Johnson said:
'The points-based system was introduced to provide a rigorous system to manage legitimate access to the UK to work and study, with the ability to respond to changing circumstances.
'We want foreign students to come here to study, not to work illegally, and today we have set out necessary steps which will maintain the robustness of the system we introduced last year. I make no apologies for that.'
In addition, the new measures will include:
■a ban on foreign students studying below degree level if the course includes a work placement - unless that course is being provided by a university, college or training provider which has the status of 'highly trusted sponsor';
■a requirement for students to demonstrate their English language ability by passing an approved secure test - this will apply to all students studying below (foundation) degree level, including those coming to study English language; and
■the introduction of tougher criteria for defining which course providers count as 'highly trusted sponsors' of foreign students. We expect that all publicly funded universities and colleges will count as highly trusted, and we will ensure that there is a rapid but rigorous system for ensuring that private training colleges can also gain that status as soon as possible.
UK universities and colleges offer an excellent education, and the government recognises the essential contribution that genuine international students bring - economically, academically and socially - to the country as a whole, as well as to the universities and colleges in which they study. However, these steps are part of the government's commitment to crack down on potential abuse of the system.
These changes are part of a radical overhaul of the student system which began last year. Since March 2009, the government has required all foreign students to be sponsored by a college licensed by the UK Border Agency, and to demonstrate that they can support themselves once they get here before being granted a visa. Also since March, any college or university wanting to bring in international students must be accredited and licensed. This has reduced the number of institutions able to bring students to the UK from over 4,000 to approximately 2,000.

Sponsoring students (UK) under the points-based system for immigration |
| Education providers who want to bring non-EEA students must have a licence and comply with their sponsorship duties under the Tier 4 category of the points-based system.
By 2 February 2009 all education providers must have applied to become licensed sponsors if they want to bring in non-EEA students from the end of March 2009. Applications will be accepted after this date, but the UK Border Agency cannot guarantee that a licence will be issued by the time tier 4 applications open at the end of March 2009.
To get a sponsor licence, education providers must:
Be able to show that they are inspected, audited or accredited by one of the UK Border Agency's approved bodies;
Allocate a number of key roles to staff using the sponsorship management system;
Be able to comply with your sponsorship duties;
Have the appropriate HR systems in place to be able to monitor your student's attendance, when the reporting functionality in the sponsorship management system is rolled out for education providers later in 2009.
From the end of March 2009, education providers must issue a visa letter to each non-EEA student to enable them to apply for a new visa or extension. This will be replaced by a confirmation of acceptance for studies when sponsors start using the sponsorship management system to issue confirmation of acceptance for studies later in 2009.
Sponsors will use the sponsorship management system to issue and pay for each confirmation of acceptance for studies, and to fulfill their reporting duties.
Sponsorship duties include the following:
Maintaining any appropriate accreditation;
Keeping copies of all students' passports;
Keeping up-to-date contact details for students;
Reporting any unauthorized absences, failure to enroll or termination of their studies to the UK Border Agency
Students can have as many visa letters or confirmation of acceptance for studies from institutions they have applied to, but can use only one visa letter (or confirmation of acceptance for studies) to apply. Students will be awarded 30 points for a visa letter or confirmation of acceptance for studies, and must score 10 points for maintenance (fees and living expenses) to pass the points-based assessment, and be able to apply.
Key benefits of the new system are:
The sponsor licence ensures all colleges are genuine and eliminates bogus institutions;
Sponsors are responsible for assessing whether a student meets the academic requirements for the course;
The student's visa is linked to the institution;
Depending on what has been studied, if students want to stay on in the UK once they have successfully got their qualification, they may be eligible to switch into the post-study worker category of tier 1. |
