You can apply for a Student visa to study in the UK if you’re 16 or over and you:
● have been offered a place on a course by a licensed student sponsor
● have enough money to support yourself and pay for your course - the amount will vary depending on your circumstances
● can speak, read, write and understand English
● have consent from your parents if you’re 16 or 17 - you’ll need evidence of this when you apply
If you get a student visa, you can:
➔ study
➔ work as a student union sabbatical officer
➔ You may be able to work - how much depends on what you’re studying and whether you’re working in or out of term-time.
You cannot:
➔ claim public funds (benefits) and pensions
➔ work in certain jobs, for example as a professional sportsperson or sports coach
➔ be self-employed
➔ study at an academy or a local authority-funded school (also known as a maintained school)
