Visa: London Met University licence revoked

[lkdood]

The UK government has revoked London Metropolitan University's Highly Trusted Status (HTS) for sponsoring non-eu international students and now it will no longer be allowed to sponsor visas, according to the institution's website.

The move could mean more than 2,000 students being deported within 60 days unless they find another sponsor, according to the National Union of Students.

The university's vice-chancellor, Malcolm Gillies has predicted a £30 million financial loss to the university.

The University has set up a Help Centre to support and advise students.

UPDATE

Government statement:

London Metropolitan University students who are already in the UK with a current, valid UK visa do not need to do anything immediately.

A government-led taskforce is being created, which will include the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), Universities UK, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), the UK Border Agency and the National Union of Students. This will work with London Metropolitan to support those affected and enable appropriately qualified genuine students to find another institution where they can continue their studies in the UK. The taskforce will start work immediately.

If an existing London Metropolitan University student with a current, valid visa is on holiday outside the UK, they can return to the UK.

New students who were planning to travel to the UK to start studying with London Metropolitan University should not travel.
