    FAQ

    You can apply for a Student visa if you're 16 or over and want to study on a further or higher education course in the UK. If you're under 18 and you want to study at an independent school in the UK, you may be eligible for a Child Student visa instead.

    From 1st January 2024, international students studying in the UK will only be able to bring their partner and children to the UK if they are studying either a PhD or other doctorate (at RQF level 8) or a research-based higher degree.

    September intake is typically the primary intake for UK universities and offers the most courses across all levels of study. However, if you missed the September deadline, January intake is an excellent alternative.

    A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is a unique number which confirms you have been accepted on a course of study in the UK. It is an electronic document generated using the Home Office's system and is essential in order to make a successful Student visa application.

    For undergraduate programmes a maximum two-year gap is accepted in the UK and for postgraduate programmes a 5-year gap is accepted in the UK. But some universities accept more gaps than that case by case.

    If you were to exceed the total amount of hours of work afforded to you per week, your university is required to report you to the Home Office, and you may find yourself in breach of the terms of your visa as it is a criminal offence.

    Any money you use for maintenance (course fees and living costs) must be in your account or your parent(s)' account for a consecutive period of 28 days (finishing on the date of the closing balance).
