If Home Office rules are breached, this can have an impact on your immigration history and may prevent you from entering the UK at a future date. Further information on Student Visa conditions and our sponsorship duties can be found on the .

If you intend to leave the UK during your studies, you should consult with the compliance support team to ensure you have the necessary written authority to do so.
