DO I NEED A VISA TO GO TO UK?

If you live outside the European Union, you will almost certainly be classed as a visa national and will need to obtain a visa before you can study in the UK.

If you are a European citizen you will not need a visa to study in England.

If you are classed as a visa national, depending on the length of time you wish to study you may require a student visitor visa or a general student visa.

The UK government is currently making changes to the student visa system, and there will be new eligibility criteria for issuing student visas.

For the latest information and guidance, we suggest you visit the UK Border Agency website.

DO I NEED VISA TO GO TO OTHER COUNTRIES IN EUROPE?

It depends on your nationality. Please ask your travel agent and if you do need one it is easier and cheaper to get it from your own country.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN: REGISTER WITH THE POLICE ON ARRIVAL? (FOR UK ONLY)

If you need to be registered with the police (it should be written on your visa) we can direct to the FOREIGN OFFICE (Bring 2 passport photos and £34 for the registration fee), where you can register with the police.

Most nationalities must register with the police if they come to study in the U.K for more than 6 months.

IF MY VISA IS REFUSED DO I GET MY MONEY BACK? AND WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

Yes, you do. Except the registration fee and the Administration fee. Student MUST send the visa refusal letter. You must post back the refusal letter and the original school letter no later than 4 weeks from the starting date of your course.

CAN I WORK IN THE U.K DURING MY STUDIES?

Only if you have a Tier 4 student visa.

10 hours per week if you are doing a below degree level course, e.g. English Language.

20 hours per week if you are doing a degree level course, eg Bachelor Degree.
