What Is a Student Visa?
The UK Student Visa (formerly Tier 4) allows international students to study at licensed institutions across the UK. You can apply for a Student Visa if:
You’ve received a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a licensed sponsor (school, college, or university)

You meet the English language requirements
The visa duration depends on the length of your course, plus extra time to settle before and after your studies.
