Student Visa:

 

The UK’s immigration system is based on visa sponsorship. To sponsor a student visa for studying at university, the University must have a Student sponsor license issued by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). This visa is specifically for the course the student will be enrolled in at the University.
