Why Engagement Matters
Queen’s holds a special licence that allows us to sponsor international students to study in the UK. This sponsorship is regulated by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), and we must follow strict rules to keep that licence.
That means we need to be able to show that you’re actively and consistently engaging with your course — attending classes, submitting assignments, and participating in university life.
What You Need to Do

- Familiarise yourself with our engagement monitoring webpage
