Overview
The Student visa is for people aged 16 or over who have been offered a place by a licensed UK education provider. It replaced the old Tier 4 (General) visa.
We help you shortlist universities, secure your offer and Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), organise your financial evidence and submit a complete visa application. After your course, you may be able to switch to the Graduate visa and stay on to work.
