Adult Students
Adults wishing to study in the UK must apply under the Points based system for a Student Visa.
The tier 4 Student Visa replaces the current UK Study Visa and allows an adult student to study in the UK with a licensed sponsor
Benefits
The Tier 4 Student Visa service offers overseas students the opportunity to gain recognised qualifications from reputable and government approved universities and colleges in the uk.
The tier 4 Student Visa does not constitute a route to settlement or indefinite leave to remain, however, a visa for student immigration may allow you to switch to another UK immigration service without leaving the country, upon successful completion of your course.
However, the benefit of studying in the UK under a visa for students is that you will also be permitted to undertake limited employment and extend your visa if your course of study lasts longer than 4 years.
Eligibility
The new student route operates under the points based system.
Adult students applying to study abroad in the UK must:
- Have a proven track record in studying before coming to the UK.
- Have recognised qualifications equivalent to National Qualification Framework (NQF) in the UK education system.
- Produce evidence of sufficient funds to pass a maintenance test.
- Produce documents used to obtain an offer from the university or college sponsoring, such as qualification certificates.
If you require any further infomation in the Studying in the UK or the tier 4 system please do not hesitate to contact us or take advantage or our pre-paid advice service.
