International Study & Visa Assistance
In light of recent announcements by the UK Government regarding tighter rules for UK student visas, the RAC would like to reassure overseas students thinking of studying with us in 2011. We are pleased to accept applications from overseas students with a good level of English language and offer a free, dedicated visa service to assist you in successfully securing your student visa.
With students already joining us from over 45 different countries, you can be sure of a very warm welcome to Cirencester for what, we are sure, will be an enjoyable and rewarding experience. You will find a diverse mix of people from different backgrounds, nationalities, faiths and ages enjoying a thriving international community on our small, friendly campus. You will quickly find your way around the campus and get to know members of College staff and other students from all over the world, as well as the UK, forming lifelong friendships.
Home Office Changes to Student Visa System
The new visa system is designed to ensure the brightest and best students come to study in the UK for a limited period, to study not work, and make a positive contribution while they are here in the UK.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: 'International students not only make a vital contribution to the UK economy but they also help make our education system one of the best in the world'
To find out more details, please read the Home Office changes to the student visa system, the UKBA Home Office UK Border Agency Student Policy or the Government review of Tier 4 migration (student visas).
