Confirmation letter from the university [Part 3 Institution]

[AlexanderK]

Hi, guys. I've searched through the forum but found few threads on this topic.

The question I have is this:

There is a requirement (Part 3 of the Self-Assessment Appendix "Institution") to provide an original letter from an academic institution confirming that it is a "recognised or listed body" or holds a "Tier 4 sponsor license".

I graduated from the University of Birmingham, which obviously is a recognised educational body. This is confirmed by the official Points-based Calculator's guidence, which states that "All United Kingdom universities ... are recognised bodies".

Should I still provide an explicit confirmation of the university's status, or will the degree certificate suffice?

I am asking because I apply from my home country and it will take quite a while for such a letter of confirmation to be issued and delivered to me from the UK.

Is there, perhaps, anyone here who was in a similar situation? If so, I would appreciate if you could share your experience.

Thanks!

Of course the University of Birmingham is a recognised body, as such, you don't need to supply any additional letter to confirm your university's status.
All you need to apply are your up-to-date bank statements, your degree certificate and the original letter from your university confirming your award.

You can request a PSW letter from your university. Its a standard letter that confirms details about you and also about the university. All Major universities have generic PSW letter which they can issue to their students to confirm university's licence registration and also that you have been studying there and what course you have completed.

Hope that helps
