Collecting your BRP
The University has temporarily stopped receiving BRP cards on behalf of its students. This is in line with ongoing Covid-19 situation and social distancing guidance. If you are applying for a Student visa from overseas, you should not use the University’s ACL code and address in your online visa application. You must instead collect your BRP card from a Post Office. For further detail, see the BRP – Biometric Residence Permit webpage.
