University Of Wales (UoW) Partner College In Visa Scam

20 Oct 2011

Rayat London College, a University of Wales (UoW) partner college has been raided by the UKBA and will not be allowed to recruit students from overseas because of allegations of a visa scam.

It had been known that this college was involved in offers to help overseas students cheat their way to UoW degrees and UK visas.

This college was helping overseas students cheat their way to UoW degrees in order to qualify for sought-after graduate work visas, which are being abolished in April 2012.

The UoW, which is the second largest in the UK with 70,000 students in 130 colleges around the world, said it would adopt a new international strategy and promised to build a "transformed university built upon strong governance".
