newbie... need advise to apply for student visa in UK

[maefc77]

hey guys,

i thought i'd join in on this interesting filipino UK forum. :)

i guess i have to introduce myself first :) i'm mae, currently studying in malaysia under the university of london external programme. i'm planning to study in the same university for my final year.

i need some advise though, how do i go through the process of applying for a student visa? should i have the offer letter from the university first? (same process i went through here in malaysia) coz i've read something about a six (6) month period where no visa (probably referring to student visa) is required.

i'd really appreciate any advise. :cwm38: thanks!

try checking the british council website first...and look for approved colleges and universities there before even starting your application. they have all the guidelines there for international students.
