UK Student Visitor Visa
If you are a non-EEA and non-Swiss foreign national who wishes to carry out a short course in the UK, the Student Visitor Visa is a viable route to take.
The Student Visitor Visa allows you to pursue a short course of study such a training course or an English language course for no more than 6 months. If you are pursuing a course of study outside the UK, but wish to do a short period of research as part of your degree course, you can do so on the Study Visit Visa.
