A short-term study visa is a temporary visa that allows you to come to the UK for a maximum of six months.

It is normally used for short English Language or summer school courses. A short-term study visa is not normally recommended for Pre-sessional English courses as you cannot extend the visa within the UK.

If your course is longer than six months then you must apply for a Student route visa.
