　　二、第四层级签证：移民法规变更

　　UK Visas and Immigration is making changes to student visas.

　　The government announced changes to the Immigration Rules on 13 July. Many of these affect Tier 4 of the points-based system.

　　英国政府于7月13日宣布对移民法规做出变更。其中不少变更将影响计点积分制体系下的第四层级签证。

　　The main changes will:

　　主要变更包括：

　　stop new students at publicly funded colleges from working, bringing them in line with those at private colleges (from August)

　　●在公立学院学习的新生和在私立学院学习的学生一样将不再被允许在英国工作(从8月开始)

　　allow university students to study a new course at the same level but only where there’s a link to their previous course or the university confirms that this supports their career aspirations. There will be credibility interviews and sanctions against universities who abuse this rule (from August)

　　●大学生可以学习相同学术等级的新专业，但是新专业必须与之前的专业相关，或者大学确认新专业有助于职业规划。我们将进行可信度面试，并对滥用该规则的大学予以处罚。(从8月开始)

　　ban college students from extending their Tier 4 visas in the UK unless they are studying at an ‘embedded college’, one which has a formal, direct link to a university that is recognised by the Home Office. This will require them to leave and apply for a new visa from outside the UK if they wish to study another course (from November)

　　●禁止在学院就读的学生在英国国内续签第四层级签证，除非该学生就读于与内政部认可的大学有正规和直接联系的“嵌入式学院”。希望学习另外一个课程的学生需要离开英国申请签证。(从11月开始)

　　ban college students from being able to switch visas to Tiers 2 or 5 in the UK, and require them to apply from outside the UK (from November)

　　●禁止在学院就读的学生在英国国内转签第二层级或第五层级签证，要求他们在海外申请。(从11月开始)

　　reduce the time limit for study at further education level from 3 years to 2 years. This brings the maximum period into line with the length of time British students generally spend in further education (from November)

　　●将学习继续教育水平课程的时间上限从3年减少至2年。这与一般情况下英国学生投入继续教育的时间上限一致。(从11月开始)

　　stop Tier 4 dependants from taking a low or unskilled job, but allow them to take part-time or full-time skilled work (from the autumn)

　　●不允许第四层级学生家属从事低技能或无需特定技能的工作，但是允许他们从事兼职或全职的技能型工作。(从秋季开始)

　　These changes will help reduce immigration abuse ensuring the UK maintains a competitive offer and attracts the brightest and best international students. The UK continues to welcome genuine students to our world class universities.

　　这些政策变化有助于减少对移民体系的滥用，维持英国的竞争力并且吸引优秀的国际学生。英国继续欢迎真正的学生前往我们世界一流的大学就读。

　　Customers going to the UK for longer than 6 months
