Information for EU/EEA/Swiss Nationals
The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 on the basis of an agreement made between the UK and the EU known as the Withdrawal Agreement .
This agreement included an agreement on citizens' rights during the 'transition period'. The transition period was a period of time, which started as soon as the UK left the EU and continued until 11pm GMT on 31 December 2020. During this time EU, EEA and Swiss citizens could still come to and remain in, the UK on the same basis as before the UK left the EU.
From 1 January 2021, all EU/EEA and Swiss nationals, who do not have permission, under the EU Settlement Scheme, will require immigration permission in order to enter, live and study in the UK.
If you wish to study in the UK for:
more than 6 months - you must apply for a student visa before you travel to the UK. 6 months or less - you may request permission to enter the UK as a Standard Visitor when you go through immigration control at the UK border.
