STUDY IN THE UK

The UK Student Visa is intended for individuals aged 16 or over who wish to undertake further or higher education studies in the United Kingdom, such as at a college or university. If you are between 4 and 17 years old and plan to study at an independent school in the UK, you should apply for a Child Student Visa rather than a Student Visa.

The UK Child Student Visa is for children aged between 4 and 17 who wish to study at an independent school in the UK that holds the appropriate student sponsor licence. The route replaced the former Tier 4 (Child) category.

The Parent of a Child Student Visa allows one parent to come to or remain in the UK to care for a child who is studying at an independent school under the Child Student route. The child must be aged between 4 and 11 when the parent’s application is made.

The UK Short-term Student Visa is for people aged 16 or over who want to come to the UK to study an English language course lasting longer than 6 months and no more than 11 months at an accredited institution.
