Student Visa

Courses
for Visa Students |
|
From April 1 2009 students who require a
Student Visa to study in the UK will
have to:
- prove their level of English is
already pre-intermediate (A2) or above.
For an explanation of English levels
click here
- join a full-time English language
course which leads to a recognised
qualification (see the list of courses
below)
- satisfy the UK Government that you
have enough money to pay for your living
expenses for the duration of your
course.
Rose of York is
approved by the UK Government (Register
of Sponsors Licensed Under the
Points-Based System Tier 4 Grade A)
and accredited by the
British Council and
English UK. At Rose of York we have
a high standard of English teaching and
over 20 years' experience helping
students with their visa applications.
Please note that
from 22nd February 2010 you no longer
need a student visa letter. We
will give you a CAS number which
replaces this (Confirmation of
Acceptance for Studies) and which you
will need in order to apply for your
visa.
You also need to
complete our online test and provide a
certificate to confirm your English
level and the number of hours you have
studied English for.

Other Services
Opening a Bank Account
Recent changes in banking procedures have made opening a UK
bank account difficult. Rose of York will assist eligible
students with all the advice they need on how to meet
requirements and open an account, but it is necessary to
have a student visa for at least six months.
Social Activities
Throughout the year Rose of York organises many optional
trips and sightseeing tours on which the teachers accompany
the students. Meals in London's restaurants and trips to
English pubs are frequent events and an ideal way to
practise the English you have learnt.

Certificates
Upon finishing, our students can obtain a certificate of
attendance if they have attended at least 80% of their
classes. Both the teacher and the college's principal sign
this document.
