Study in the United Kingdom from India

Why do students ask about United Kingdom?

• Students ask about undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including one-year master’s programmes.
• The GOV.UK Student visa page linked below returned HTTP 200 on 11 November 2026.

Which courses do students ask about?

These are subjects students raise in counselling. They are not a ranking, and Super 7 Visa does not claim a partnership with a university unless that agreement is published.

• Bachelor’s degrees
• Master’s degrees
• Foundation or pre-master’s routes where a university offers them

Who can apply?

GOV.UK says you can apply for a Student visa if you are 16 or over, have a place on a course at a licensed student sponsor, have enough money to support yourself and pay for the course, and can speak, read, write and understand English. Applicants aged 16 or 17 need parental consent. The earliest application from outside the UK is 6 months before the course starts. The visa fee from outside the UK, on the page read on 11 November 2026, is £558. You also pay the healthcare surcharge. UKVI usually decides applications from outside the UK within 3 weeks. Those times and fees can change on GOV.UK.

How does admission work?

The university or college decides the offer and issues a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). The CAS states the course fee you must show for one academic year, up to 9 months. A CAS is not a visa. Some master’s and research courses also need an ATAS certificate. GOV.UK tells you to check whether your course needs one.

Language evidence

The Student visa overview requires you to speak, read, write and understand English. The sponsor sets the level it will put on the CAS, within the rules GOV.UK publishes. We do not print one IELTS or PTE score for every UK course. If your course asks for a test, you can prepare it with Super 7 Visa.

What are the application steps?

1. 1. Licensed sponsor and course

   We look at courses at sponsors that can issue a CAS, against the academic profile and budget you describe.

2. 2. Offer and CAS

   The sponsor decides the offer, takes the deposit or fee it requires, and assigns the CAS. The CAS is the figure you use for the course-fee part of the visa.

3. 3. Money and English

   You line up the 28-day funds evidence and the English evidence before you apply. Applying before the 28 days have finished is a common reason a file is not ready.

4. 4. Visa application

   From outside the UK you can apply up to 6 months before the course. You pay the visa fee and the healthcare surcharge. UKVI decides.

5. 5. eVisa and travel

   If the application is granted, GOV.UK says you get an eVisa and must link the travel document you will use. You must not travel before the visa start date.

Which visa or permit is this?

A Student visa is published on GOV.UK. You normally need a confirmation of acceptance from the institution before the visa stage. UK Visas and Immigration makes the decision, not Super 7 Visa.

What funds and documents are involved?

GOV.UK’s money page, read on 11 November 2026, says living costs are £1,529 a month for courses in London and £1,171 a month for courses outside London, for up to 9 months. London means the City of London and the 32 London boroughs. You also need the course fee shown on the CAS. The money must have been held for 28 days in a row, and the end of that 28-day period must be within 31 days of the application. India is not on the differential-evidence country list on that page, so an applicant in India should expect to provide the financial evidence unless another exception on the page applies. Extra money is required for each dependant. Whether a dependant can apply at all is a separate GOV.UK rule and depends on the course.

Figures are quoted only where an official page stated them. The links and check date are in official sources.

Documents

GOV.UK splits the evidence into identity, finances, English, and checks such as tuberculosis. Use the document list for an application from India rather than a generic list.

• CAS from a licensed student sponsor
• Passport and the identity evidence UKVI asks for
• Course-fee and living-cost evidence, held for 28 consecutive days where that rule applies
• English-language evidence at the level the sponsor and GOV.UK require
• Parental consent if the applicant is 16 or 17
• Tuberculosis test results if GOV.UK says your country of residence requires one
• ATAS certificate if the course requires it

Are scholarships available?

UK universities and some external trusts publish scholarships. A loan or official financial sponsorship can be used as money evidence if it meets the GOV.UK format. We help you look for awards that match the course. We do not promise funding.

If you need an education loan as well, see the education loan page.

What happens after the course?

The Graduate route and dependant rules have changed. Read the current GOV.UK pages for your course level before you rely on a post-study plan.

Which mistakes delay applications?

• Counting London and non-London living costs the wrong way
• Applying before the 28-day funds period has ended, or using a statement that ends more than 31 days before the application
• Assuming India is on the differential-evidence list. It was not on the list we read
• Booking travel before the visa start date
• Planning a dependant’s application without reading the current GOV.UK dependant rule for that course level
