Is there a time limit for studying in the UK?

Some students may feel that after applying for a study visa in the UK, they can continue to use it. In fact, visas are time-limited. Let's see if there is a time limit for studying in the UK.

At present, the study time of courses below undergraduate course cannot exceed 2 years after the applicant 18 years old; The longest study time between undergraduate and master's degree shall not exceed 5 years to the limit (except for certain majors, such as medicine, architecture, music, etc.). ); The course duration of research-oriented master's and doctoral students shall not exceed 8 years at the longest.

Moreover, at present, the cumulative time calculation method of student visa has changed from the previous cumulative class time to the duration of the entire visa.

First of all: I want to know how to give the visa period after the visa is approved.

If you apply for non-language courses in the UK, such as A-Level, matriculation, undergraduate and master's courses:

The duration of formal courses exceeds 12 months, and the duration of visas is 12m+4m = 16 months.

The formal course duration is 6- 12 months, and the visa duration: the course duration is +2m.

The formal course duration is less than 6 months, and the visa duration is: course duration +7 days.

If you apply for preparatory courses, such as language courses, master's preparatory courses, etc. ：

The duration of formal courses exceeds 12 months, and the duration of visas is 12m+4m = 16 months.

The formal course duration is 6- 12 months, and the visa duration: the course duration is +2m.

The formal course duration is less than 6 months, and the visa duration: course duration+1m.

Of course, when calculating the duration of this course, for example, the time for students to start classes is 21/017 to12/12017. Immigration will not shy away. The month when classes begin is calculated as 12 months.

Secondly: under what circumstances is the student visa not within the visa time limit?

/kloc-For students under 0/7 who hold Tier 4 Child, the student visa is not subject to any time limit;

Age 16- 17 ordinary students with Tier 4 are not subject to 2-year student visa restrictions;

Students studying undergraduate and master's courses in the following majors will not be granted a five-year student visa:

Architecture, medicine, dentistry, animal medicine, music and law.

If the normal undergraduate course is set to 4 years, the time limit for applying for a master's degree will be increased from 5 years to 6 years;

There is no time limit for students applying for doctoral extension program. However, this visa can only be applied for 12 months at the longest;

Each student's visa situation is different and needs to be operated according to the actual situation.
