UK Student Visa (Tier 4)
The fourth tier of the new points based UK immigration service focuses upon overseas students who wish to gain entry clearance to study in the UK. Tier 4 visas replace the UK student visa service and place more emphasis upon the responsibility of the educational body in question for the applicants they permit to study. The aim of this tier immigration service is to provide a more user-friendly, transparent route to studying in the UK.
With the exception of tier 1 visas, which directly replace the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme or HSMP, all tier visas for the new system will require a certificate of sponsorship from the relevant sponsor. In this case, the sponsor will be the educational institution offering a place which a student has accepted. Each sponsoring institution will be required to vouch for the ability of students.
Our immigration consultants can guide you at every stage of obtaining a visa for the UK, whichever tier visa service is right for you. As a specialist UK education consultancy, we can offer immigration advice on your initial application and can help you adjust to living and working in the UK through a range of on arrival services.
