The Government has set strict rules on any migrant coming into the UK to work or study. The University is responsible for any migrant coming to the University who holds a Tier 2 (staff) or Tier 4 (student) visa.
As a sponsor of staff or students the University must comply with set criteria, by law. If we don't comply we could ultimately lose our licence and no longer be able to recruit or retain any international staff or students.
The University must also have procedures in place to ensure that any non Tier 2 or Tier 4 international person has a valid visa to work or study in the UK.
