was this the reason for your refusal?, why did you think this would ensure you got a student visa ?

some reasons the ECO can give for refusals..

'Special care should be taken when dealing with applications from persons who:

* propose to follow less-advanced courses or those with low educational standards, i.e. where students appear to be marking time rather than progressing;

* have enrolled for the exact minimum number of hours;

* apply for an entry clearance on the strength of a letter of enrolment for a course of training at a school of hairdressing, beauty culture, photography, dancing or some similar craft without demonstrating genuine interest or background in the subject or plans to use skills acquired in the future;

* plan to recommence studies with further courses which do not bear any relation to previous ones;

* are unable to explain satisfactorily poor attendance records for previous study.

In such cases, the applicant's motivation for choosing a particular course should be explored in greater detail in order to establish that he is not merely seeking entry to the UK with the intention of seeking work.
