Immigration Update 2015: What You Need to Know

New

Each year, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) make extensive changes to the Immigration Rules which can often impact significantly upon the recruitment of staff from outside the EU. The greatest changes commonly take place in April of each year, however UKVI often give us very short notice of these changes. This is a short course which is designed to inform and promote discussion of the relevant changes that have occurred and how they will affect departments/institutions within the University.

Please note: As we do not know at this time how broad the changes will be, this course may be longer or shorter than advertised.
