Students from some countries may require a visa to study in the
United
Kingdom.
Information for non-EEA nationals
Once you have been accepted onto a suitable course you will need to gain a
Student
Visa for the UK. You will need to evidence areas such as your available
funds to support yourself, your acceptance onto the course, accommodation
arrangement and similar. The Student Visa does allow you to work part-time
to support yourself.
What happens once I have completed my course?
Depending upon the type of course you have completed and the qualification
that you have gained, there may be a number of options available that will
allow you to remain in the UK and gain employment.
A UK Work Permit will require you to have firstly obtained
a job offer from a UK employer. Rules for in-country switching often change,
but as of June 2005 you must be in an occupation listed on the Skills
Shortage List and have been awarded your degree.
The Science and Engineering Graduates Scheme is
designed to allow those who obtain certain Scientific or Engineering Degrees
to remain in the UK and work for a year without needing the UK employer to
sponsor their permit.
The HSMP Highly Skilled Migrant Programme MBA Provision
allows those that have secured an MBA from specific business schools to live
and work in the UK for any employer without needing a work permit to be
sponsored.
