Tier 4 Sponsor Licence monitoring

The request was successful.

Dear Aberystwyth University,

Please can you could you state whether, since being granted a Tier 4 sponsor licence, you have been visited by UK Visas & Immigration (and before that, the UK Border Agency) for the purpose of assessing your institution's compliance with the sponsor licence. If the answer is yes, please could you state whether the assessment included direct investigation of the practical application of admissions policy (i.e., looking at an actual sample of individual applications already approved for a Tier 4 visa by your institution) or  whether only a general appraisal of policy relating to the sponsor licence was carried out, without direct investigation of its practical application.

Yours faithfully,

James Field

Dear Mr Field,

 

I am writing in response to your recent request for information under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (‘the Act’).

 

I can confirm that the University has been visited by the UK Border Agency
and that their visit did include direct investigation of the practical
application of admissions policy (i.e. an examination of a sample of files
of those students issued with a Confirmation of Acceptance to Study).

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Julie Archer
