Is it covered if I take a clinical master's course abroad that involves hybrid classes with practicals requiring only short visits to the UK on a two-day visa?
23 Jun 2026 · Answered by Hardika Gautam · 1 min read
It depends. If your clinical master's course requires only short visits to the UK for practicals and each stay is brief, you may be able to use a Standard Visitor visa, which allows visits of up to six months for short-term study or practical components.
- Standard Visitor visa: Suitable if each UK visit is short and your course does not require you to stay in the UK long-term.
- Student visa: Needed if the course is full-time or requires longer stays.
Visa rules are subject to change. Confirm the course structure and visa requirements with your UK institution to ensure you choose the correct visa type. If you need help, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
