Prospective Students
If you have found a course that you believe will be perfect to meet your future or career goals, but you feel that you should visit the institution before accepting a place (you may, for example, need to have an interview or sit an examination there), you can apply for a Prospective Student Visa.
We recommend that you should apply for Entry Clearance even if you are not a visa national, this is because the Immigration Rules now state that students will not be able to extend leave in the UK as students if here as prospective students without entry clearance.
If the Entry Clearance Officer satisfied that you genuinely intend to start study within six months once you've found a suitable place, and that you meet all the immigration requirements, they will give you permission to enter as a prospective student, for six months. Then, once you are in the UK and have enrolled on a course (within the six months), you will need to extend your permission to stay as a student.
