Travelling to the UK

Your visa options will depend on where you come from and how long you are studying for. If your programme of study is longer than 6 months, you should get a Student visa.

This guidance is aimed at all students who require a visa for their study. Non-visa and visa nationals coming to study in the UK for longer than 6 months will need to get a Student visa (entry clearance).

This guidance is aimed at non-visa nationals without a visa (coming to study for 6 months or less). Non-visa visitors must get an ETA (pre-travel clearance) before they can request Standard Visitor entry on arrival.
