Studying two courses at the same time under Tier 4

Hi all,

Is it possible to study another course besides your main course that you got the visa based on considering that the second course is lower level?

Example: You got 4 years tier 4 visa for your PhD, can you study a 2 years part-time MSc as well?

Thanks.

Probably more of a question for University admissions service.
(But how would you find the time?)

I just put that as an example. It would not be a MSc course. It is a short term teaching course. Sure this needs to be consulted by student centre but I am just wondering if Tier 4 scheme allows this?

Yes. See the Tier 4 policy guidance, para 343 "Can I do extra studies whilst in the UK?"

However, separate from any immigration issues, check that the academic regulations at your university allows you to be studying two higher education courses at the same time.
