FAQs, UK Study Routes

How early should I apply for a Student visa?

You should plan well ahead of your course start date because you need your CAS and may need to arrange funds, English language evidence, tuberculosis testing, and biometrics. We recommend taking advice as soon as you accept your place.

Can I switch from a Student visa to a Graduate visa?

Eligible students can generally apply in the UK after their education provider has reported successful completion of their qualifying course. We will check your course, current permission, and timing before you apply.
