3. Student Visa Pilot Scheme Extended

23 UK universities join Student Visa pilot scheme

A pilot scheme which streamlines the visa process for international Masters students has been extended to a further 23 universities by the UK government.

The service, which makes the process of studying a Masters of 13 months or less easier for international students, also provides greater support for students who wish to switch to a work visa and take up a graduate role by allowing them to remain in the UK for 6 months after they have finished their course.

Oxford, Cambridge, Bath and Imperial College London were already part of the scheme, which also now includes:

• Cardiff University
• Goldsmiths University of London
• Harper Adams University
• Newcastle University
• Queen’s University Belfast
• University of Bristol
• Durham University
• University of East Anglia
• University of Edinburgh
• University of Essex
• University of Exeter
• University of Glasgow
• University of Leicester
• University of Liverpool
• University of Manchester
• University of Nottingham
• University of Reading
• University of Sheffield
