If your Student immigration permission has been granted for more than six months, you'll normally need to collect your BRP card from your chosen Post Office within 10 days of arriving in the UK. The nearest collection location to the Mile End campus is the Whitechapel Post Office (208A Whitechapel Road, Whitechapel, London, Greater London, E1 1BJ).
If you are under the age of 18, you cannot collect your BRP by yourself; you will need to formally nominate someone who is over 18 years old and holds a valid passport, EU national ID card or Biometric Residence Permit to collect on your behalf. This person will need to submit their details and this nomination must be approved by the Home Office. Please ensure that you allow time for approval and that you and your nominated person follow all of the requirements communicated by the Home Office to ensure that your BRP can be collected.
If you are an EEA or Swiss national, and applied for your Student immigration permission through the app, you will receive a digital visa and will not have to collect a BRP card.
