Your Declaration

UKVI policy states that universities must determine a student’s right to study before they can be fully enrolled at their institution. This means that if you don’t hold a British or Irish passport, you must provide evidence of your current immigration permission to be in the UK. QMUL is often able to verify your immigration history by contacting the Home office, with your permission. For us to do this we need your agreement below, and a photocopy of your ID document emailed to bursaries@qmul.ac.uk
