Each year, we help hundreds of international students successfully gain a visa to study in the United Kingdom. The UK government welcomes international students, and there is no limit on the number of student visas that can be issued.

UK Student Visa (Tier 4) Requirements

International students from outside the UK or EU must apply for a student visa. You can only apply for a student visa if you intend to study a full-time degree course in the UK. Student visas are not issued for part-time courses. Your eligibility is calculated using a points-based rules system called a Tier 4 Student Visa.

Student Visa Rules – An Introduction

You need 40 points to apply for a student visa. This is achieved by:

1. Our specialist course confirmation team will work on your behalf to obtain your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a university approved by the UK Border Agency (UKBA).

All universities must have been given or applied for Highly Trusted Status (HTS) on the UKBA. 'A rated' colleges can also issue CAS numbers. The 'A' rating is a transitional rating for 12 months and all 'A rated' colleges must apply for HTS status within this 12 month transition period. All universities on the Education Energy list have Highly Trusted Status (HTS).
2. Funding: you must provide evidence of funding to pay for both your course tuition fees and your monthly living costs.

Tuition fees are on average £11,000 per year but can range from £8,000 to £36,000. You will also need at least £1,020 for each month of your studies to pay for living costs if you live in inner London. If you live in outer London you will need £820 a month.

Remember, our professional legal team are able to secure your visa once you have been given a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies.
