Visas for study

Determine the suitable visa for your studies. Visa options can vary by nationality and programme length. Full-time programmes over 6 months usually require a Student visa.

International students studying in the UK for over 6 months need to get a Student visa (entry clearance). A CAS is required, and you must meet all visa requirements by date of application, which vary based on where you can apply from. New students usually have to apply from their home country.

Options include Standard Visitor (study 6 months or less), Hong Kong BN(O) and the Short-term study visa (6-11 month English Language courses)
