UK visa requirements and general immigration criteria are managed by UK Visas and Immigration, which has an easy-to-navigate site to help you determine whether you need a UK student visa. While Swiss nationals and those from the EU/EEA states do not currently need a visa to study in the UK, all other international students are likely to need one.
The result of the UK’s referendum on membership in the European Union (‘Brexit’) has led to some uncertainty over visa regulations, but the UK government has stated that there will be no immediate change to visa policies.
想要去英国留学吗?请了解自己是否需要申请英国学生签证，并且了解签证申请程序是怎么样的?
英国签证要求以及一般的移民标准都是由英国签证和移民局决定的，它有一个易于操作的网站来帮助你判断自己是否需要办理英国学生签证。瑞士学生以及来自欧盟/欧洲经济区国家的学生目前都是不需要办理英国学生签证，就可以直接申请去英国大学留学的。而所有其他国家的国际学生几乎都需要获得英国学生签证。
有关英国脱欧的全民公决结果使得签证规定有了一些不确定的因素，但是英国政府已经明确说明签证政策将不会有即刻的变化。
Types of UK student visa
If you’re studying a short course and are over 18 years old, you may be eligible for the short-term study visa. This is valid up to six months for most short courses and can be extended for a stay of up to 11 months for English language courses.
If you’re studying a longer course, you’ll need to make sure your chosen institution holds a Tier 4 Sponsor License. You can either apply for a Tier 4 (Child) student visa (if you’re aged 4-17 and want to study at an independent school in the UK) or a Tier 4 (General) student visa for those aged 16 and over.
英国学生签证的类型：
如果你是在英国学习短期课程，并且已经年满18周岁，那么你具备申请英国短期学习签证的资格。对于大部分的短期课程而言，该签证的有效期最多长达6个月，并且可以延长到11个月的英语语言课程学习。
如果你是学习一个长期专业课程，那么你将需要确定你选择的学校获得Tier 4担保执照。你可以申请Tier 4(儿童)学生签证(如果你是4-17岁，并且想要在独立人员的陪同下在英国学习的话)或者是Tier 4(一般)学生签证(如果你是年满16岁或者以上的话)。
UK student visa requirements
Your course provider may be willing to help you to apply for a UK student visa once you have been offered a place on a course; ask to find out if this is the case. You can apply for the visa up to three months in advance of the start date of your course. Check the average visa processing times for your country, and be sure to allow plenty of time.
UK student visas are awarded on a points-based system. In order to meet all the UK student visa requirements, you’ll need to provide:
Details of your passport
A recent photograph
An unconditional offer of a place on a course offered by a licensed Tier 4 Sponsor, evidenced by a 'Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies’ (CAS) form from your course provider (worth 30 points)

You will not need to provide this if you’re from an English-speaking country such as the United States or have completed a qualification equivalent to a UK degree in an English-speaking country.
Proof you have financial support throughout your stay in the UK (worth 10 points)
Proof of financial support can take the form of bank statements or a letter from your financial sponsor, showing you can cover your tuition fees, accommodation and living costs. You must prove that you have £1,015 (~US$1,230) per month for living costs if studying in the UK outside of London, and £1,265 (~US$1,540) a month for living costs if studying in London.
You may also be required to produce documents showing your academic qualifications, and to attend an interview or biometric test, which includes a digital scan of your fingerprints. Depending on your country of origin, you may also be required to have certain medical vaccinations or undertake a tuberculosis test.
If you’re 16 or 17 years old and applying for the Tier 4 (General) student visa, you must have written consent from your parents/guardians that you can live and travel independently.
You must apply online for the Tier 4 (General) Student visa, ensuring you’ve read the full guidance here. You can apply up to three months before the start of your course.
