Student Visa

As an international student coming to the UK you will probably be required to apply for a student visa, as part of the application process, the CAVC International team can advise you on the most suitable visa for your chosen programme of study.

International students coming to the UK for over 6 months to study full-time must apply for a student visa, the criteria are set by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).


A Visitor Visa can be a useful option for coming to the UK to study a full-time or part-time course lasting no more than six months.

If you want to study an English language programme that lasts longer than six months you can apply for a short term study visa to remain in the UK for up to 11 months.

For detailed information on student visas and immigration, please visit the website for the UK Council for International Student Affairs at www.ukcisa.org.uk
