Letter requests

The Research Student Administration Office produces 'To Whom It May Concern' letters providing proof of student status for a variety of purposes, such as Schengen visa applications, council tax declarations, and letters of introduction to UK banking facilities. We also produce letters for students who have previously held a Tier 4 visa and need to apply for a Standard Visitor Visa in order to return to the UK for examination/graduation.
