Applying for a Student visa from overseas
If you're applying for a course that's longer than six months, discover how to apply for a Student visa from overseas. We'll take you through the documents you need to prepare and what you need to do after receiving an offer of a place.
Extending your Student visa in the UK
If you're already in the UK and have a Student visa, you may be able to extend it from within the UK. This could be to progress to a higher level of study, transfer to a longer course, or because you need additional time to complete your current course.
Applying for a Standard Visitor visa
If you'll be studying in Liverpool for six months or less, a Standard Visitor visa could enable you to join us for a short period of study, such as a semester studying abroad. Your friends or family may also need Standard Visitor visas to come and see you in Liverpool.
Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)
If you've applied to study with us and accepted an offer of a place, you'll need to obtain a CAS statement before you can apply for a Student visa.
Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS)
If you've applied to study certain areas of science, engineering or technology, you may need to obtain an ATAS certificate before you can apply for a Student visa.
