Encouraging the ‘best and the brightest’ into the UK workforce: A guide Relocating to Scotland Everything you need to know to study in the UK Child student visa | A parent/guardian checklist for children studying in the UK

We understand that for overseas students, applying to study in the UK can be a daunting enough process without the added stress of navigating the Immigration Rules.

We can assist those with a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) from a UK institution to apply for a student visa. We can also advise on extensions, graduate visas and switching into other visa categories such as worker routes.

We can also advise on the immigration rules for children aged 4 to 17 attending independent schools in the UK, as well as the requirements for an accompanying parent.

For sponsoring institutions, we can advise and provide training on licence maintenance and compliance.

We regularly provide seminars, question and answer sessions and one-to-one meetings arranged by higher education institutions on post-study visa options for overseas students.
