I have a Tier 4 visa and I want to transfer to a new programme. Do I need to apply for a new visa?
The University is required to report all changes of programme for Tier 4 visa students to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). If you are transferring to a longer programme and you do not have enough time left on your current visa to complete your new course, you will need to make an application to extend your visa.
You are strongly advised to contact the International Student Team (IST) for immigration advice as soon as possible.
