    How do I apply for a visa to the uk?

    You can apply for a student visa to study in the UK if you’re 16 or over and you:

    - have been offered a place on a course by a licensed student sponsor

    - have enough money to support yourself and pay for your course - the amount will vary depending on your circumstances

    - can speak, read, write and understand English

    - have consent from your parents if you’re 16 or 17 - you’ll need evidence of this when you apply

    How do I open a bank account?

    The UK has lots of banks, including National Westminster (NatWest), Barclays, RBS, Santander, HSBC and Lloyds. All of these offer special bank accounts for students, which usually include an interest-free overdraft. All high street banks have the same basic range of services – savings accounts, credit cards, overseas cash transfers and so on – but they offer different deals to attract new customers, so shop around to find your favourite.

    To open a bank account you’ll need to visit a branch of your bank (check to see if your chosen bank has a branch near your management location) with the appropriate ID. Your passport, driving licence and one or two forms of proof of address (such as a bill or licence) will usually be enough. Bank accounts take a few days to get up and running, so try to open yours before you leave for university – or make sure you have a credit card to keep you going when you arrive.

    If I want to get a part-time job, where should I look for opportunities?

    You’ll find that your student union often has job adverts, and if you’re looking for shop, bar or restaurant work you can usually spot “Help wanted” signs in the shop windows. Your local Jobcentre will also have opportunities – simply head to the website and search by area.

    How do I register with a doctor?

    Most surgeries now offer online registration – once you’ve found your local GP, check their website. Check with them too for any recommendations.

    If I'm an international student can I open a bank account in the uk?

    No problem – you’ll just need the same identification as other students. Take your passport, driving licence and at least one proof of address document such as a bill or licence. If you can get a letter from your bank at home recommending you, that’s even better – but you don’t strictly need this, and you absolutely do need the ID mentioned above.
