　　“I was always confident that our procedures for monitoring international students were robust, and I’m pleased that UKVI’s thorough and detailed audit has confirmed this.

　　“我对我们在监管国际学生方面程序的严密性一直充满信心。我很高兴签证移民署UKVI此次彻底细致的审核也同样证明了这一点。”

　　The University’s ability to issue CAS letters to international students was paused by the Home Office on 24 June 2014, when the Minister for Immigration and Security made a statement in Parliament regarding student visas. The Minister stated

　　that the University would not sponsor new students pending the outcome of the UKVI investigation.
