To attend their viva
To attend part of a distance learning or blended-lerning programme

To make a successful Visitor Visa application, you must demonstrate that:

You have a valid reason to come to the UK

Your application may be refused if you continuously apply for Visitor Visas in the UK and it is evident that you spend more time in the UK than in your home country; or you need to be in the UK to study for periods of longer than 6 months.

If you need to be in the UK for longer than 6 months to study; then please contact Student Support and Experience so that we can discuss your options. Please be aware that your Visitor Visa request is subject to any fees and/or deposits having been paid and cleared.
