Study levels and course options
UK study planning should start with course fit, not just destination preference.
- Foundation programmes
- International Year One pathways
- Bachelor’s degrees and top-up degrees
- Pre-master’s and master’s degrees
- MBA programmes
- Research degrees
- Professional or regulated courses
Regulated course caution
Courses such as nursing, medicine, teaching, law, psychology, architecture or health sciences may have additional academic, English, placement, accreditation or professional registration requirements. These must be verified directly with the institution and relevant official body.
English language requirements: what students should check
English requirements vary by institution, course level, visa category and professional registration rules.
Accepted evidence
Institutions may accept IELTS Academic, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge English, Duolingo English Test or other evidence, depending on policy.
Waiver possibility
Some students may qualify for an English waiver based on previous English-medium education, but waivers are not automatic and must be confirmed by the university and checked against visa rules.
Visa and course checks
Students should check GOV.UK Student visa English guidance and the exact course page before assuming an English requirement is satisfied.
Funding, scholarships and payment options
UK study planning should include tuition fees, living costs, deposits, visa fees, healthcare surcharge, travel, accommodation and emergency funds.
- Official university scholarships
- Study UK scholarship finder
- GREAT Scholarships where eligible
- Chevening or Commonwealth Scholarships where eligible
- Family or sponsor funding
- Education loans where relevant
Funding compliance note
Scholarships, bursaries, payment plans and loan options are subject to eligibility, deadlines, academic profile, nationality, funding availability and provider assessment. TSV does not guarantee scholarship, funding, loan, admission or visa outcomes.
UK study cost estimator
Estimate a first-year budget. Figures are for planning only and must be checked against official GOV.UK guidance, university invoices, accommodation contracts and current exchange rates.
This calculator does not verify visa eligibility, financial evidence, scholarship approval, loan approval, accommodation availability or university fees. Verify all amounts before making financial or visa decisions.
UK Student visa overview
Students must verify the latest requirements from official UK government sources before applying.
Eligibility checks
Confirm course eligibility, age requirement, CAS, licensed sponsor status, English requirements and current UKVI rules.
Financial evidence
Check the latest GOV.UK financial evidence guidance for tuition fees, living costs and evidence rules before submitting a visa application.
Decision authority
UKVI decides visa applications. TSV can support education guidance and preparation, but cannot influence or guarantee visa decisions.
Work while studying
Some international students may be permitted to work during their studies, subject to visa conditions, course type, sponsor rules and current UKVI requirements.
- Check whether your visa permits work
- Check term-time hour limits
- Check vacation work rules
- Check restrictions on self-employment or business activity
- Check placement or internship rules
Post-study work & future options: what to verify
Current official guidance indicates that eligible graduates may have access to the UK Graduate visa, subject to visa rules, course eligibility, timing and personal circumstances.
Students should verify course eligibility, successful completion reporting, in-UK application requirements, duration, costs, dependant rules and whether licensed immigration advice is needed.

- Can the student manage accommodation and living independently?
- What happens if visa or work rules change?
