International student guide

International applicants who plan to study at Blake Hall College are eligible to apply for Student Visas. To apply for a Student Visa you must enrol and be accepted on a course that will provide you with full-time student status. Upon acceptance, an enrolment letter will be issued and this letter will be required for the visa application process.

Note however, that this serves as a guide, and it is always best to check all aspects of your application with Home Office.

To qualify for a student visa, you must be able to demonstrate that:
- You have been accepted on a full-time course at an accredited institution.
- That the course you are accepted for runs for at least 15 hours a week, and is comprised of daytime study.
- You are able to support yourself (and any dependants), as well as covering the course fees.
- You plan to leave the UK on completion of your course.
- You cannot undertake full-time work whilst on a student visa. An individual on a student Visa is not entitled to more than 20 hours of work a week (more or less 3 days) or be self-employed.

If you fail on any of these points, Home Office reserves the right to refuse your application for the student visa, and your enrolment will subsequently be cancelled.
