UK Student Visa Application
UK schools, colleges and universities are well-known for providing world-class education. We receive around 700,000 International students per year to study in the UK. UK universities remain one of the top choices for international students.
To be able to study in the UK, you will need admission at a UK university or college on the Register of Licensed Sponsors for Students and obtain a CAS (Certificate of Acceptance of Studies). You can apply for a Student Visa once you have obtained a CAS from your university and meet the requirements for the visa.
What Can I Study in the UK?
There is a variety of courses available to study, at UK universities:
English Language courses
Foundation programmes
Bachelor Degree programmes
Master Degree programmes
PhD programmes
You can apply for your Student visa up to three months before your course starts.
Students are often interviewed by the UKVI as part of the visa process to establish that they are “genuine students” and we can help you prepare for your interview. Paying the University fee and obtaining a CAS alone is not always sufficient for a successful visa. Fortunately, your spouse and children applying, to either accompany or join you, as your Student Visa Dependents, will not be interviewed.
A Student Visa comes with some conditions for it to remain valid and to be compliant you should follow the rules of which some are shown below:
You must not access UK public funds in the UK
You must not work as a professional sportsman or sports coach
You must follow the work restrictions on your visa as you may or may not be allowed to work 10 or 20 hours a week, depending on the level of the course
You cannot be self-employed
If you successfully pass your degree course you may be able to switch to a Graduate visa, which will give you the right to work.
