VISA

The following is the Visa requirements:-

Depending on student's nationality they may need to apply for a visa to enter the UK for study. This will give them permission to enter the UK and study here.

If they are staying for less than 6 months but also plan to volunteer or work here, they will also need a Student Route visa. Students can apply for a student visa to study in the UK if they’re 16 or over:
