Surely, many students around the world dream of pursuing a short-term English course finish their Bachelor’s degree, Masters or Ph.D. in the UK since doing so will provide them lots of opportunities that could secure a good career and high-paying job in the future. But, of course, there are plenty of considerations that you need to go through in order for you to be admitted to any UK university of your choice.

Is a study visa needed for international students?

If you are a national of a certain nation such as Switzerland or you belong to the European Economic Area (EEA), it is not necessary to get UK visa for you to pursue a course in the United Kingdom. However, if you’re a national of any other nation, it is essential to understand that a visa is required for you to be admitted to any top universities in the UK. Aside from this, it is necessary to provide evidence of this before you start any course particularly if you hope to study at Cambridge.

What kind of British visa do you need to secure?

Take in mind that it is crucial to ensure that you have the appropriate visa that allows you to be admitted in any university of your preference. Essentially, the kind of visa you require highly hinges on the kind, of course, you hope to pursue.

There are some factors that you need to consider regarding UK visa appointment such as the following:

  • If you’re coming to the UK to pursue a course that is longer than half a year to finish, it is required for you to accomplish Tier 4 student visa.
  • Meanwhile, if you’re taking a course that can be completed less than 6 months, then you shall be admitted as a short-term student.
  • Lastly, if you already possess permission from UK immigration under a distinct visa type or you might be able to pursue a course on that type of visa without the need for you to apply for a student visa.

Please be guided that if you’re entering the United Kingdom because you hope to finish either a short-term or long-term course, it is worth noting that a standard visitor visa shall not enable you to go in for Cambridge studies. It is highly advised for you to carefully check out the admission requirements of the University of your choice. Universities in admission generally have different requirements for international students who wish to study any type of course or partake in any programs that their university offers.
