Student visas

To study in the United Kingdom, most international students require a student visa. It's simple to find out if you need a visa to study by visiting GOV.UK.

Your student visa will allow you to live and study in the United Kingdom for the duration of your programme.

You can learn more about your visa application if you attend a pre-departure briefing in your home country. The British Council organises pre-departure briefings in a number of countries. Go to the British Council website and choose your nation from the drop-down menu to learn more about these events in your own country.

Student visa classifications 

VISA FOR STUDENT (previously Tier 4 visa)
If you are 16 or older and want to study at a higher level, you must apply for a student visa via the Student Route. The Tier 4 Route has been replaced with the Student Route starting of October 5, 2020. The Student Route is part of the United Kingdom's new points-based immigration system.

Visas issued under the Tier 4 Route remain valid, and individuals who qualify will be able to apply for the Graduate Route when it opens in the summer of 2021.

Before applying for a visa, you must first have an offer from an institution or college. After that, your university or institution will be able to provide you with a document known as a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS). To do so, your chosen institution must be approved as a licenced sponsor by the UK government.

Before you come in the UK, you must submit an application and have it accepted.

You must pay an application fee (£348 for students) and have a valid passport or other travel document.

You will also be charged an Immigration Health Surcharge. This grants you access to the United Kingdom's National Health Service. Students are entitled to a 25% discount on the standard cost of this fee, making the rate for student visa holders £470 per year.

You can apply for a student visa up to six months before the commencement of your course.

Visit the GOV.UK website to learn more about student visas.

The UK government has recently issued instructions on the points-based immigration system to EU students. Learn more about studying in the UK as an EU student by visiting this page.

Can I work in the UK while studying?
Many international students in the UK work part-time, do work placements, or do internships in addition to their studies. The hours and sort of work you undertake will be determined by the type of visa you have and the university or college that is sponsoring you.

On the UKCISA website, you may learn more about the hours and sorts of employment you can do.

Confirmed: The Home Office has the authority to disregard human rights complaints.

 The long-awaited decision in MY (Pakistan) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2021] EWCA Civ 1500 has been issued by the Court of Appeal. Unfortunately, it confirms that the Home Office has the authority to refuse to deal with a human rights application for permission to remain in the UK that is not filed using the prescribed form or process. As a result, the applicant has no right of appeal. Background information about human rights and appeals MY requested indefinite leave to remain as a victim of domestic violence. The Home Office does not regard such applications to be human rights claims in and of themselves. If a human rights claim is denied, the applicant has the opportunity to appeal; other immigration applications do not. This implies that if their claim for indefinite leave as a victim of domestic abuse is denied, they will normally only have an administrative review. MY used his application to argue that he would be unable to return to Pakistan, which consti...

UK Visa and Immigration

 The United Kingdom is one of the most popular immigration destinations in the world for people looking to live and work in a new country.  However, the immigration system in the United Kingdom is limited. Following the outcome of the EU referendum on June 23, 2016, and the decision to exit the EU, the UK visa system has undergone further adjustments. The UK Innovator visa and UK Start-Up visa schemes were recently created. In many situations, you must apply through the UK tier points-based immigration system, which assesses applicants against a variety of factors to determine their eligibility for a UK work or study visa.  The majority of work-related visa applications, such as the Tier 2 visa programme, and Tier 4 study visa applications are accepted.
