International Students FAQs
- How and when do I apply for my Student VISA?
Once we receive your application with all necessary documents and fees, we will send you a Letter of Enrolment. This is the letter you will need to present to your local British Consulate for your VISA application. Please contact the consulate directly for the other documents they may require as this varies in different countries.
We strongly advise you to allow at least 90 days to apply for your visa. Please contact the GIA International Student Advisor if you have any questions regarding your student visa.
- Do you offer financial assistance for International students?
Different scholarship options may be available at different times during the year. Please refer to the Financial Assistance Page on this website for further information available.
- May I work in the United Kingdom on a Student visa?
Yes. A Student type visa allows you to work up to a maximum of 20 hours per week during your studies if you are a full time student. For more information on VISA types and your immigration rights, please visit the official Home Office Website.
- Do you offer health insurance for International students?
Health insurance is not included in student fees. Please contact the International Student Advisor for information about health insurance options.
