UK Student Visas
If you are coming to study in the UK and are a visa national, you will need to apply for a student visa. There are three main types of student visas available:
- Standard Visitor Visa (for courses up to 6 months) - For children and adults undertaking short courses including English language
- Short-Term Student Visa (for courses up to 11 months) - For adults (plus students aged 16 and 17) undertaking English language courses for up to 11 months
You can find out more about these visas on the UK Gov website.
If you are under 18, you must also complete a Parental Travel Consent Form. This can also be downloaded below for your college of choice:
- Brighton Travel Consent Form
- Cambridge Travel Consent Forms
- Eastbourne Travel Consent Form
- London Central Travel Consent Form
- London Highgate Travel Consent Form
UK centres: Maintaining an 80% attendance rate is essential for Student Visas. St Giles must report consistently low attendance, risking course cancellation and potential visa revocation, which may lead to being asked to leave the country with potential implications for future return.
