Study Visa

We can help you get a visa to study in Cambridge.

Some students will need a short-term study visa to enter the UK. Students from the EU will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), which costs £10 online. Please contact us if you need help.

Obtaining a Visa for entry into the UK

Cambridge Law Studio has successfully passed inspection for the purposes of allowing students to enter the UK in order to study on our legal English courses. The rules set out by the UK immigration authorities are as follows:

All UK schools now need to be accredited in order to issue students with offer letters for the purposes of obtaining a visa. Cambridge Law Studio has been inspected by the ASIC as a Premier Status College. Our registration number is AS37074/0609.

As our courses are for less than 6 months we are advised by the UK Border Agency that our students require a SHORT TERM STUDENT VISA.

To obtain a Short Term Student Visa you must:

  • be at least 18 years old
  • be able to demonstrate that you have the financial resources to support yourself in the UK
  • have no intention of staying in the UK for longer than 6 months or applying to stay longer
  • have no intention of working in the UK, even if the work is unpaid
  • have been accepted on a course listed on the register of education and training providers

It is very important to point out that we have been told that any of our students applying under Tier 4 will automatically be refused a visa. This is because Tier 4 applies only to students who wish to enter the UK for six months or more. Therefore, please DO NOT apply to enter the UK under Tier 4.
Please DO apply for a Short Term Student Visa.
