Yes, your husband and daughter are eligible to apply for dependent visas to join you in the UK while you pursue your Master's degree, if you meet certain criteria.

- Course requirement: You must be enrolled in a full-time postgraduate course (RQF level 7 or above) lasting at least 9 months.
- Dependents: Your husband qualifies as a dependent partner. Your daughter qualifies as a dependent child if she is under 18 and not married.
- Financial requirement: You must show proof of funds for each dependent:
- London: £845/month (up to 9 months)
- Outside London: £680/month (up to 9 months)
These funds must be in your account for at least 28 consecutive days before applying.

Dependents must apply online, provide proof of relationship (marriage/birth certificate), and submit biometric information. Work rights are generally permitted for dependents, but access to public funds is not allowed.

Visa rules and financial requirements are subject to change. For next steps or detailed guidance, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
