Good news for Tier 4 Students
The requirement to restrict the number of re-sits available to international students on a Tier 4 visa is no longer necessary.

UK immigration recently announced full details of the UK student visa changes under Tier 4 of the points based system. The intention of the changes is to make it more difficult for bogus students from outside Europe to gain entry to the UK.
The new UK Tier 4 Student Visa requirements include the following:
- You will need to have English ability just below GCSE in a foreign language to gain entry to the UK on a student visa. This will cover those who wish to study English in the UK and those who wish to study at below degree level.
- On 22 July 2010 the Government laid a Statement of Changes in the Immigration Rules which reinstated level B2 as the minimum English course level for Tier 4 students.
- If you are a student studying below first degree level or on a foundation degree course you will only be able to work 10 hours during term time instead of the previous 20 hours during term time.
- You will not be able to bring in dependants if the duration of the course is less than six months.
- If you are studying a course lower than foundation or undergraduate degree level your dependents will not be allowed to work in the UK.
