The University is due to find out whether the home office will lift a suspension on its ability to recruit non-EU students, following a scandal over fake visas.

In June UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) suspended the university's "highly trusted" status which enables it to sponsor the visas of non-European Union students.

Money provided by non EU students in 2012/13 was worth about £9.5m of the university's estimated £43m income, and the university is believed to be running with a £1.4m deficit since August.
