Teesside University students have struggled to pay tuition fees since currency in Nigeria crashed.
Nigerian students have been thrown off university courses and ordered to leave the UK after a currency crisis left them struggling to pay tuition fees on time.
Before beginning their studies at Teesside, affected students were told they had to show proof of having enough funds to pay tuition fees and living expenses.This exacerbated financial problems already being experienced by students as a result of the university changing tuition fee payment plans from seven instalments to three.
"I did default , but I'd already paid 90% of my tuition fees and I went to all of my classes," she said. The letters, seen by the BBC, offer a date by which the student must leave the country and say they do not have a "right of appeal or administrative review against the decision". Jude Salubi, who was studying to be a social worker, was midway through a placement when he was told his access to the university was suspended and he would have to leave the country.
