        The UK has introduced a new points-based immigration system.

        The Tier 4 visa route was replaced by new Student Visa Route at 9.00am on 5 October 2020. See an overview of the changes. We are in the process of updating our information for students who will need to apply under the new route. If you plan to submit your visa application, please contact isat@brookes.ac.uk to check if the changes will affect your application.
