Before You Apply

UK Entry Requirements — What You'll Need

Most of our courses run 1–6 weeks, short enough that the Short-term Study or Standard Visitor routes usually apply rather than the UK Student visa — which route applies depends on your nationality. See our full visa guide for the explanation, and always confirm the current requirement with UK Visas and Immigration before booking flights. In general, two groups of documents are requested:

  • Student Documents

    Passport, biometric photos, student certificate, family registration record, a UK travel itinerary, and a signed sponsor letter from a parent or guardian.

  • Sponsor's Financial Documents

    Proof of income and bank statements from the sponsoring parent — the exact documents depend on whether they're employed, self-employed, or retired.

We'll send you the exact checklist

Requirements vary by nationality and by each parent's employment status. Once you enquire, we send a personalised document checklist and check everything before it's submitted.
