Students from outside the UK

Students from EU countries outside the UK should see Directgov’s section on ‘Students from other EU countries’ There’s also information for students classed as migrant workers from EEA countries or Switzerland, their family members and children of Turkish workers in the UK.

Students who don’t fit into any of these categories should see the UKCISA site for international students.
