Student Route visa to replace Tier 4 visa
If you are a non-EU/EEA/Swiss national, and you will come to the UK to study a full-time programme for more than six months, or extending your stay to complete your studies, you will need to apply for a Student route visa. You will also need to apply for a Student route visa if you wish to do a work placement as part of your studies, or look for a part-time job.
Student route will replace Tier 4 in the new UK's Points-Based Immigration System. Introduced in October 2020, it will also apply to EU students from 1 January 2021.
