United Kingdom

The UK has it all—from the world’s oldest and most prestigious universities to modern-day institutions with sleek amenities and innovative new courses. Either way, choosing to study in the UK gives you access to a premium education, flexible study options, and exciting post-graduate work opportunities. Choose from some of the world’s leading universities and vocational institutions here!

Whether you’re studying in England, Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom boasts a globally-recognized education system. UK universities consistently rank highly on global university ranking lists. Work-wise, you can benefit from the UK’s many placements, internship opportunities, and the Graduate Immigration Route. It’s also in a perfect location for travel to Europe. Not to mention iconic London, England—widely considered the best student city in the world!

In order to study in the UK, you’ll need to apply for a Student visa (formerly known as a Tier 4 “General” student visa). You can submit your visa application online within six months of starting your course.
As part of your application, you’ll need to pay an annual immigration health surcharge and submit several documents, including travel documentation, a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from your institution, biometric information, and proof of financial support. Finally, you may be asked to participate in a UK credibility interview to confirm your intentions to study are genuine.

If you’re studying with a Higher Education Provider in the UK (a university for example), the institution will assess your level of English instead of the UK government. Score requirements vary by university and course, so be sure to check the institution’s website for their expectations. The popular English language tests listed below are commonly accepted.
