London varsity closes India offices

PTI Updated - August 31, 2012 at 07:04 PM.

The London Metropolitan University has closed its two offices in New Delhi and Chennai, which until recently were involved in processing the applications of Indian students.

London Metropolitan University’s (LMU) licence to admit and teach international students was on Thursday revoked by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) due to “serious and systemic failures”.

The revocation led to fury among students and several stakeholders who said the action was “disproportionate” that would endanger the future of the university.

A university representative today confirmed to PTI that the two offices in India had been closed.

Until two days ago, LMU listed the contact details of its offices in New Delhi and Chennai.

The details have now been removed from its webpage focused on India.
