As members of the EFTA (European Free Trade Area), Swiss nationals are also eligible to apply.
In some circumstances, you may be eligible for a Tier 5 “Youth Mobility Visa”. You can apply for this visa if you’re aged between 18 – 30 and from the following countries: Australia, Canada, Japan, Monaco, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Republic of Korea or Taiwan. For further information on eligibility and how to apply, please visit the Youth Mobility Scheme visa (Tier 5) page on the UK government website.
**Now for the good news**
We are working towards becoming a Tier 4 licensed sponsor in 2019. If you are from outside the EEA/EFTA we encourage you to start an application to study with us in 2019. **While not guaranteed we hope to be in a position to start sponsoring international students from May 2019, in time for our September intake. Updates will be published on this webpage, and via our blog, social media channels, and newsletter.**
