- Course confirmation:
you must receive a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)
from a university approved by the UK Border Agency (UKBA).
All universities must have been given or applied for Highly Trusted Status (HTS) on the UKBA Tier 4 Sponsor list (30 points). 'A rated' colleges can also issue CAS numbers. The 'A' rating is a transitional rating for 12 months and all 'A rated' colleges must apply for HTS status within this 12 month transition period. All universities on the Study London website have Highly Trusted Status (HTS). - Funding:
you must provide evidence of funding to pay for both your course tuition fees and your monthly living
costs (10 points).
Tuition fees are on average £11,000 per year but can range from £4,000 to £22,000. You will also need at least £1,000 for each month of your studies to pay for living costs if you live in inner London. If you live in outer London you will need £800 a month.
Visit the UK Border
Agency to check the full eligibility criteria for a UK study visa.
You can also read further guidance on the UKCISA
website.
Remember, you can only apply for a visa once you have been given a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies. Check you are eligible for a UK Student Visa but do not apply until after you have been accepted onto a course. Your chosen university can guide you through the visa process once you have been accepted onto a course.
Tip - It is very important that you do not travel to the UK without a valid student visa. Visit the UK Border Agency website or contact the British Embassy or Consulate in your country for advice
