Studying in the UK
January 9th, 2007 by get a first class degree
Further to my post on Study in the UK, here are some more links to help overseas students considering studying in the UK.
Students living outside the EU (European Union) will probably need a visa in order to study in the UK.
Information on UK visas can be found on this government website:
Information for students wanting to study in the UK
More detailed information on studying in the UK, and working while studying in the UK can be found on the same site, here:

Can I work and study in the UK?
You can take part-time or holiday work, but you must not:
- Work for more than 20 hours a week during term time unless your placement is part of your studies, has been agreed with your educational institution and leads to a degree or qualification awarded by a nationally recognised examining body
- Do business, be self-employed or provide services as a professional sportsperson or entertainer, or
- Work full-time in a permanent job.
If you are coming to the UK as a student for six months or less, you must ask the Entry Clearance Officer (or the Immigration Officer if you do not need an entry clearance) for permission to work.
