Points-based system Tier 4: Attendance at privately funded colleges

In 2010, the UK Border Agency conducted an exercise to track the outcomes of overseas students in the UK under Tier 4 of the points-based system. The resulting research paper showed that students at private institutions had a significantly lower rate of compliance than those at public institutions.

This research paper provides further information about the outcomes of students at private institutions (private colleges and English language schools).
