What is the visa process for the UK, including English language exam and fund requirements for a Master's?

To study for a master's in the UK, you need a Student visa. The key requirements are:

- English language: You must prove your English skills. This can be through a UK degree, an overseas degree taught in English (assessed for equivalence by Ecctis), or by taking a Secure English Language Test (SELT) from an approved provider.
- Proof of funds: You need to show enough money for tuition (as stated in your CAS letter) plus living costs - £1,334/month for up to 9 months in London (£12,006 total) or £1,023/month elsewhere (£9,207 total). Funds must be in your or your parents’ account for at least 28 days before applying.

After receiving your CAS letter from the university, prepare your documents, apply online, pay the visa fee and Immigration Health Surcharge, and attend a biometric appointment.

Visa rules and cost requirements are subject to change. For help with your application, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
