Study in the UK

As the second most popular study destination in the world, the UK hosts over half a million international students at secondary and higher education institutions. Our team understands that obtaining the correct immigration permission can be challenging, and we work with qualifying students to ensure they can achieve their goal of pursuing an education in the UK.

There are two routes available for students:

Student


The Student route enables EEA, Swiss and non-EEA nationals aged 16 and over to study at a licensed UK university, college or other higher education provider.

Child Student


The Child Student route enables EEA, Swiss and non-EEA nationals aged 4-17 years to study at licensed UK independent educational institutions.
