Who needs a visa

Finding out whether you need a visa to study is easy, check here on GOV.UK.

British and Commonwealth citizens

British and Commonwealth citizens with either the right of abode or leave to remain, do not need a visa to study in the UK.

Within the European Economic Area (EEA)

If you are a national of a European Economic Area (EEA) country, or Switzerland and starting your studies from 1 January 2021, you will need a Student visa or a Visitor visa in order to study at the University.

Outside of European Economic Area (EEA)

If you plan to study for 6 months or less and you are not from one of the countries that are on the ‘visa national’ list (i.e. you need to apply for prior entry clearance before travelling to the UK), then you may not need to apply for a visa in advance of your travel. See Standard Visitor Visas for information and a list of nationals that must have a visa in advance of travel.
