 Academic Progression
If you are applying for a course at the same QCF level to which you have previously studied, please complete the below
section. As per the UKVI rules, all applicants must apply for a course that represents academic progression. To demonstrate
academic progression, 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 QCF or NQF6 (and equivalents) your next course should be at least QCF or
NQF7.

However, academic progression may involve study at the same level, if the new course compliments the previous course,
offers a deeper specialisation in your chosen field and supports your genuine career aspirations.

Please provide a statement in the box below to support your application. This statement should be used to justify how your
course selection meets the above criteria.

Please note you must include copies of certificates & transcripts, along with CAS letters & copies of your visas 
relating to the study detailed above. If you do not submit all relevant documents, we will return your form to you, 
which will result in delays in processing your application.  

I give the University of Bolton permission to undertake checks with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), previous education 
providers and legal advisors. I give permissions for UKVI to discuss my details with the University of Bolton in relation to 
immigration history, any applications I have made and immigration appeals.
