Students with a non-EU and non-EEA nationality are required to obtain permission to enter the UK from UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). The University of Edinburgh, as a licenced Tier Four visa sponsor, is legally obligated to collect, retain and maintain data relating to the immigration of all such students. EUCLID user guides on Immigration Compliance are available for staff in video format.
The Tier 4 Staff web pages provide further information and guidance on all stages of student immigration.
More information on the status of EU and EEA students can be found on the University and Europe webpages.
