Did you know?
The University of Liverpool's gothic-style Victoria Building inspired the term “redbrick university”, which refers to six British universities established in leading industrial English cities during the Victorian age. Opened in 1892, it has been restored as the Victoria Gallery and Museum.

If studying for more than six months, then a Tier 4 (general) student visa may be required.
If going for less than six months, a Tier 4 (general) student visa or a short-term study visa may be required. The short-term study visa is the simpler and cheaper option for entering the UK however the visa cannot be extended and no work can be undertaken (paid or unpaid) while in the UK.
If you are not a national of a majority English-speaking country you may need to meet UK Border Agency language requirements. Be sure to check the requirements.
For more information on student visas, please refer to the British Consulate-General here.

The charge will entitle the visa holder to free health services under the National Health Service (NHS) once inside the UK. Find out more about health services with the Tier 4 visa here. Those who are applying for a short-term visa will need to arrange their own health cover.
