Registration & Right to Study

Right to Study, registration and collecting your student ID are the final steps for you to join the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾. You can do this anytime from 10 September 2026.

The University is required to check that all of its students, UK and international, have the right to study (RTS) in the UK. You are required to demonstrate you have sufficient RTS before you commence your studies at the University. Students who fail to provide the relevant right to study documentation when requested by the university will be withdrawn.

An in-person check must be completed before you can start your course and at any point your immigration circumstances change, e.g. you obtain a new visa, or no longer require a visa because you have obtained UK nationality.
