Standard Visitor and other visa options

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)

If you are studying in the UK for up to 6 months (without a work placement), you can come as a Standard Visitor. Visa nationals must obtain a visa (entry clearance) as a Standard Visitor. Non-visa nationals can seek entry at the border with an ETA.

Depending on your nationality, age and if you're outside the UK you may be able to apply for a Youth Mobilty visa (which allows study):
