Student visas

You may need a visa to come to the UK to study. Please note that the Schengen visa is not valid for the UK. Click here to find out if you need a visa.

To qualify for a visa, you will generally be required to study for 15 hours per week. Our full-time morning General English course meets this requirement.

Our School is registered with the UK Department for Education and Skills on its Register of Education and Training Providers: www.dfes.gov.uk/providersregister. (The Register is a list of education and training providers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Register does not quality assure or accredit in any way the learning provision of any registered provider.)

The UK Home Office will only grant visas to people intending to study at an institution on the Register. Applying to our School does not automatically mean you will be granted a student visa. This is just one of the criteria the Home Office considers in assessing visa applications. If you want help with applying for a visa, click here for the Home Office website or alternatively check with the British Embassy in your country.

Please note that, unfortunately, schools are not allowed to offer specific advice on students' visa applications. If you want advice on your specific circumstances, click here for the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner website which has a list of registered immigration advisers and is available in various languages.
