The United Kingdom is home to some of the world’s most prestigious universities. Yes! It’s no surprise that students from India choose to study in the United Kingdom, with wonderful universities and a superb collegiate and professional milieu. There are the 2 types of visas for which you might need to apply to become a UK student. The Short-Term Study Visa (available for 6 or 11 months) – for students who plan to study a short language course or take up a short period of research as part of a degree programme. The Tier 4 (General) Student Visa – for students who enroll in an academic degree (Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD). The Tier 4 Student Visa doesn’t have a fixed period of availability; the length of your studies determines the length of the visa.
