Tier 4 Academic Progression

[wenminglau]

Hi, i have previously ceased my Master studies in UK last year prior to enrollment but had been granted a Tier 4 visa. I planned to pursue a new different Master course at another university in year 2019/2020. I'd like to ask if my previous withdrawal will affects my new tier 4 visa in terms of academic progression. (*please note that the time limit of the degree level is not a problem for me).

Paragraph 60 : To meet the academic progression requirement, your new course must normally be above the level of the previous course for which you were given Tier 4 leave. For example, if your previous course was at RQF6 (and equivalents) your next course should be at least at level RQF7.

Paragraph 62 (a): you must have successfully completed (meaning you have achieved the qualification for which you were studying) the course for which you were last granted Tier 4 leave or, if you have changed courses with the same sponsor, the course you changed to; or

No. For some reason you are ignoring paragraph 57. See my previous reply.
