UK Student Visa

UK STUDENT VISA

There are numerous reasons why International students love to study in the Uk, from quality education, scholarship and loans to numerous employment opportunities etc. A good number of International students wants to study in the UK and fulfil their dream to gain global exposure, this can be done by studying in world-class universities in the UK.

For international students to study in the UK they need to apply for a student visa. A student visa allows people from outside of the European economic area to enter the UK as a student, either at a school, college, or university. International students are allowed to apply for a UK student visa only after they have been offered admission into a university in the UK. The course of study determines the type of visa a student would be granted.

TYPES OF UK STUDENT VISA

There are two types of student visa in the UK:

• The Short term study visa
• Tier 4 (General) student visa

A short term study visa is given to students over 16 years old, who have gotten admission into a university in the UK to study a short course of 6months or an English language course of 11months. The short term study visa costs £93 for a 6-month visa and £179 for the 11-month option

A Tier 4 (General) student visa is the usual visa that most prospective study abroad students over 16 years old are given when they apply for a degree that lasts for 1 or 2 years. A student from outside the UK can apply for a Tier 4 (General) student visa online, 3 months before the course starts and can arrive in the UK a month earlier. On Tier 4 (General) visa, students can work most jobs and also apply to extend their stay or switch visa’s within the UK. The current fee for the Tier 4 (General) student visa is £351.

Some students believe that they can study a 6 months course or an English language course that lasts for 11months and still get all the benefits that come with having a general student visa. However, it is advisable for a prospective study abroad student to study a longer course in the UK and get a tier 4 (General) student visa, as this comes with benefits Like:

• Up to 3years post-study work permit. (post-study visa)
• The ability to apply for a dependent visa
• Work while studying in the United Kingdom etc.

THE REQUIREMENTS.

UK student visas are awarded on a points-based system. For a prospective study abroad student to meet the student visa requirements, they would need to provide the following:

• An admission offer from a university in the United Kingdom.
• Proof of English proficiency, either an SSCE result with a credit in English or a good score in an English language test. ( IELT)
