If you are an international student who needs a Student visa to study in the UK, you must meet certain minimum in-person attendance requirements. You will be required to primarily study on campus and so will only be able to apply for the on-campus study mode.

Which study mode suits you?

On campus: Your classes will be held in the heart of Bloomsbury where you will gather with fellow students and enjoy on-campus teaching. These will be supplemented by high-quality online material supporting the classroom experience. Find out more about studying on campus.
Flexible learning: A mixed mode of study, where you will be able to select the modules you want to study either on campus or online.
Online: All your classes will be held remotely, which may provide you with more freedom to do other things.
