Students who do not hold a UK or Irish passport will need immigration permission in order to come to the UK and study at Cambridge.
The type of permission you require depends on the course you are coming to study:
| Full-time course longer than 6 months | Student visa |
| A course or period of study less than 6 months | Visitor visa |
| Part-time course longer than 6 months | See our studying part-time page |
You may already have a UK immigration status which permits study on your chosen course. If so, you will be asked to provide evidence of this prior to starting a course.
