Information on visas
Do I need a Visa?
Unless you are a British or Irish national or an EU national with settled status in the UK, you will need a visa to study in the UK. The type of visa you need depends on how long you intend to stay in the UK. You can check what your immigration options are by visiting the UK government website and using the "check if you need a visa" online tool.
What type of visa do I need?
If you do not already have permission to be in the UK, you must apply for a Student Route visa or a visitor visa to study.
The length of your course may affect the type of visa you need. Top help you understand what type of visa you need, please download our "Which Visa?" flowchart via this link.
