Types of UK Study Visa

Student Visa

This generic stream is for students choosing the UK for their higher education (PG, Masters). This stream allows you to live and study in the UK for your course tenure, where you can work part-time during your course tenure. Adding to that, you can apply for a graduate visa for up to 2 years upon completing your course tenure.
