Statement regarding UKVI ‘action plan’
Update 20 March 2025
Along with other universities and higher education providers, we take part in UK Visas and Immigration's (UKVI) routine audit programme and are focused on maintaining high standards of compliance.
During our 2024 audit, the UKVI identified a small number of areas requiring further attention with a follow-up audit three months later, which the UKVI has now completed and we await the results in due course.
We have been happy to fully cooperate with the UKVI as part of our ongoing commitment to compliance and continuous improvement. We remain fully licensed to sponsor students under the student sponsor route and committed to provide them with a quality education in preparation for university studies.
Study Group very comfortably exceeds the Basic Compliance Assessment Metrics required by UKVI for all licensed sponsors. In measures confirmed by UKVI, our visa refusal rate was 0.3% (vs. required <10%), our enrolment rate was 98% (vs. required >90%) and our course completion rate was 95% (vs. required >85%).
