What are the restrictions on studying in the UK?

With the increase of international students, the policy of studying abroad in Britain is much stricter, and restrictions have been made in many aspects. Let me talk to you about this exception.

Curriculum level

Course level usually refers to NQF (National Qualification Framework), QCF (Qualification and Credit Framework) or SCQF (Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework).

NQF and QCF are degree evaluation systems in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, while Scotland has its own system, namely SCQF.

If the student's Tier4 guarantor, that is, your school, is a highly trusted guarantor, you can take the following courses as far as the degree or qualification recognized by the Immigration Bureau is concerned:

NQF or QCF level 3 or above;

SCQF level or above;

Short-term overseas study plan for British CET-4 students in overseas universities, as long as the degree is confirmed by UKNARIC to be at the same level as the British degree;

* * * English language courses higher than B2 in the European Common Language Reference Framework.

If your fourth-level guarantor is credible or a guarantor, the immigration courses you can attend are:

NQF or QCF level 4 or above;

SCQF level or above;

Short-term overseas study plan for British CET-4 students in overseas universities, as long as the degree is confirmed by UKNARIC to be at the same level as the British degree;

* * * English language courses higher than B2 in the European Common Language Reference Framework.

Usually when you consider which course or degree to choose, the school will provide information on the level of the course. As far as the requirements for student visas are concerned, the following information is provided for your reference:

Curriculum level of NQF or QCF (English system):

A-Level is equivalent to NQF or QCF level 3;

Higher education certificate is equivalent to NQF or QCF level 4;

The basic level is equivalent to NQF or QCF level 5;

Higher education diploma and HND are equivalent to NQF or QCF level 5;

University degree (BA, BSc) is equivalent to NQF or QCF level 6;

Master's degree (MA, MSc, MPhil) is equivalent to NQF or QCF level 7;

Doctoral degree (PhD) is equivalent to Grade 8 of NQF or QCF.

SCQF (Scottish System) Course Level:

Higher education certificate is equivalent to SCQF level;

Higher education diploma is equivalent to SCQF Grade 8;

The above is the exception of the visa for studying abroad that I explained to you. I hope the majority of international students will pay attention to it.
