International students

Three of our programmes may be completed either without a visa or as a Standard Visitor to the UK:

• Foundation Award - as it is delivered fully online
• Part time PGCert - as it is studied over one semester 
• MA CCL - as most of the study happens online with occasional residential weeks

For other programmes, you need the right to study in the UK.

Oak Hill College is not on the UK government’s Register of Licensed Sponsors and so is unable to sponsor migrants under the Student route of the points-based immigration system. The College therefore cannot accept applications from individuals who need a student visa in order to study in the UK.

In addition, please note that it is not possible to study at Oak Hill on the basis of:

• Immigration permission issued for study at another UK educational institution
• A short-term study visa

Irish citizens and individuals with Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK are eligible to apply to Oak Hill, as are certain visa holders (e.g. Ancestry visa), subject to the restrictions and validity period of the visa. Please see our Admissions Policy for more details.The UK Visas and Immigration website has up-to-date information about visas required to study in the UK.
