If you decide you no longer wish to undertake a placement as part of your degree, you will need to speak with your faculty in the first instance. Your mode will be changed from “sandwich” to “full time” and the Visa Compliance Team will inform UKVI of this.
If you complete your programme of study earlier than expected, we must inform UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) of this. As you will no longer be an active student, we will withdraw our Student visa sponsorship. UKVI will then curtail (shorten) your visa and write to you with an earlier visa end date.
Please note that we cannot tell you specifically when UKVI will shorten your visa as this is a UKVI process in which we are not involved.
