Studying in the UK

If you want to study in the UK, students must make sure before applying to an educational institution that it is accredited and has a licence as a sponsor, because the visa will automatically be refused if the sponsoring institution is not registered and accredited.

Your education provider (sponsor) will need to issue you with a confirmation of acceptance for studies before you can make your entry clearance application for a visa to come to the UK. This visa must be approved and issued before you will be allowed to travel to the UK to commence your course of study.

You can come to the UK to study for short courses or for intensive English language courses or any other course to prepare you for further study here. You may also seek to study longer courses below degree level, degree level or postgraduate courses also.

The requirements and documentation required are varied and is important you compile this application and supporting documents accurately and well so your entry clearance (visa) application is successful, as even after being accepted on a course of study, you will not automatically be granted a visa to enter the UK.

You will need to acquire sufficient points under the Tier 4 Points Based System as well as have sufficient funds to support yourself.
