The Right to Study (RTS) check ensures we are satisfied you meet all the criteria to study in the UK, if this check is not successful, you will not be able to complete your enrolment.
Even if you have a British or Irish passport, you will still need to complete an RTS check if you are paying international fees.
You will be required to meet with the compliance team to complete a face-to-face Right to Study check. The table below outlines what original documents you need in order to pass your RTS check and complete your enrolment.
What you need to do when your eVisa is granted, this must be done before you travel:
- Follow all the instructions in your decision letter to create a UKVI account
- Access your eVisa and check the details are correct
- Link your travel document (e.g. passport) to your eVisa before travelling. For further guidance visit the government website
- Get a share code to provide when you are asked to do so.
