Student route: The basics

This page will give you an introduction to the Student Route.

Students who are not UK or Irish nationals need to have some form of immigration permission to study in the UK. Most students will be sponsored under the student route if they do not hold another type of immigration permission (such as the EU settlement scheme) which already allows study in the UK.

裸聊直播 is a Higher Education Provider (HEP) with a track record of compliance which allows us to sponsor international students.聽Our Immigration advice and compliance team work very hard to retain this status as there are many benefits to you that come from us holding this status such as the ability to make our own assessment of your English, no requirement to submit qualifications with your application and the eligibility to switch to after study work routes inside the UK e.g. Graduate Route and Skilled Worker.

As your student visa sponsor our responsibility for you begins at the point we issue your CAS and for as long as you study with us. Please be aware that this means we must report any changes in your circumstances to the Home Office to ensure we remain compliant with their rules please visit immigration compliance for more information about this.

How and when can you聽apply for a聽visa?

To apply for your Student Route visa, you need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Study (CAS) number from 裸聊直播. We will send this to you once you have met all the offer conditions, confirmed your place and met any eligibility criteria for the CAS. This process is undertaken by our International Admissions Team.聽The earliest we can issue a CAS to applicants is 6 months before the course start date (provided all these are met).

Once you have your CAS and have prepared your supporting documents you will then be able start to complete your visa application on . You should ensure to do this as soon as possible to allow sufficient time to arrive. For information on current visa application processing times please visit v on the UK government website.

All visa applicants must enroll their biometric data as part of their visa application. 聽Some may be able to provide their biometrics and upload any supporting documents without having to visit a visa application centre. The gov.uk website will automatically offer this if you are eligible.

Please note that visa processing times only apply once you have enrolled your biometrics and submitted (visa application fee and ) your application, only after these steps is your visa application considered valid.

The Home Office may contact you about your application via email therefore you must regularly check the email account that you used in your visa application (including your spam/junk folders). If you receive any communications from the Home Office you must respond to them as soon as possible.

During your visa application you may be requested to have a credibility interview to find out more about this please see visa application credibility interviews.

Bringing dependants

Receiving your visa decision

If your visa application is successful you will either be granted your visa as an eVisa OR as an entry clearance vignette (valid for 90 days) that allows you to enter the UK, and a Biometric Residence Permit which you will collect once you are in the UK (check your CAS for instructions on how to collect from 裸聊直播) which will be your visa for the rest of your time in the UK.

Please ensure that you travel to the UK before the course start date as noted on your CAS. You must not attempt to enter the UK before the 鈥渧alid from鈥� date as noted on your Student Entry Clearance or eVisa. If you think you may arrive late please (insert link for late arrivals). Please note that entering the UK on any other visa (such as a tourist) than your student visa may result in us not being able to enrol you. 聽

When you receive your visa decision you need to check that the visa was correctly granted for the correct length.

You should expect to receive the following periods of leave depending on the type and length of course you are enrolling on:

Type of Course	Period granted before course start date	Period granted after course end date
A course of 12 months or longer	1 Month	4 Months
A course of 6 months or longer but shorter than 12 months	1 Month	2 Months

If you believe there is an error on your visa you should contact us at [email protected] for information on how to get this corrected.

If your visa is refused for any reason you must contact International Admissions as soon as you hear so we can assess if your case is suitable for Administrative Review and your suitability for a new CAS.
