INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
We are pleased to say that we are a highly trusted sponsor authorised by the UK Home Office.
We are proud to welcome students from overseas as well as the UK. We understand international students want qualifications that are useful and recognised internationally by universities and employers. All courses at Croydon Metropolitan College lead to established UK professional and academic qualifications recognised worldwide.
We offer a ‘meet and greet’ service upon your arrival at London’s airports. The college is able to arrange for you to be met and escorted to either the college itself or to another destination in London. You should inform us about your flight details as soon as you receive them so we are able to accommodate your needs. Please note that these services are subject to availability and a charge is payable.
You may work in London depending on when you applied for student immigration permission and under what tier this falls. In most cases you must not spend more than 50% of the time on your course undertaking a work placement. You must not engage in business related work, be self-employed, provide services as a professional sportsperson/entertainer or pursue a career by filling a permanent full-time vacancy.
If your immigration permission does not allow you to work, you may not undertake paid or unpaid employment including work placements which are part of your course. After completion of your studies you may stay in the UK to work depending on whether you meet the requirements for any of the schemes the UK Government operates.
