As an international student, you may need to collect a Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) card. Your visa will tell you whether this applies to you.
Collecting your Biometric Residence Permit
If you selected to collect your BRP card from the University, you will be called to an appointment with the International Student Team (IST) to collect it. You will be informed of your appointment when we have received your BRP card from the issuers, and have been able to take copies to help you complete My Right to Study.
If you opted to collect your BRP card from a local Post Office, you will need to follow any instructions sent to you by UK Visas and Immigration, and collect it from the address shown on your Home Office decision letter. Once you have collected it, you must upload copies to My Right to Study.
Police Registration
The Police Registration Scheme ended with immediate effect on Thursday 4 August 2022. If you have been issued a visa which states that you need to register with the police within 7 days of your arrival, you now do not need to go to a police station. If you have previously registered with the police, you do not need to do anything. Find out more.
