Visas

Find out which visa/immigration permission will be suitable for your studies. If your course is longer than 6 months, you usually need to get a Student visa. However, there are other choices depending on your nationality and course length (For example, Standard Visitor permission; BN(O) and the Youth Mobility Scheme)

If you are a non-UK/rish national and coming to the UK to study a full-time programme that is longer than 6 months, you will need a Student visa. You'll need a CAS and you must meet certain visa requirements. Usually, you'll need to apply from your home country.

There is the Standard Visitor route (up to 6 months maximum); the Short-term study visa (English Language course of 6-11 months) and other types of permission such as the Hong Kong BN(O) route.
