You will need a UK Student visa to study for a BA in the UK. This visa allows you to study full-time at a licensed UK university.

Key points:

- Unconditional offer: You must have an offer from a UKVI-licensed university.
- CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies): Your university provides this reference number for your visa application.
- Financial evidence: You must show funds for tuition and living costs (amounts subject to change).
- English proficiency: Proof is required, usually via IELTS or other accepted tests.
- TB test: Mandatory for Indian students from approved clinics.

You’ll also pay the Immigration Health Surcharge and may work part-time during your studies. If you need help with the application, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
