Visas & immigration

Students from outside the UK will, in most cases, need a visa to study at the RCM. It is important that you understand what you need to do and plan enough time to apply for a visa before starting your course.

All international students should read the information provided in these pages and the guidance published by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) thoroughly.

Immigration advice at the RCM

The RCM’s international support staff aim to provide free, impartial, high quality immigration advice to RCM students, including offer holders. We can advise on Student visa applications, Standard Visitor visas, visa conditions during study and the EU Settlement Scheme.

We also provide information on visas for dependent family members, Schengen visas and options to remain in the UK after graduation. In addition, we offer more general support with practical matters, such as opening bank accounts and accessing healthcare in the UK.

You can find more information about the service we provide and who to contact in our Statement of Service.
