Requirements you must meet while you are in the UK

There are several requirements you must meet while you’re in the UK on a Short-term Student visa. 

• You must only study on the course for which you were granted permission.   
• You must intend to leave the UK within 30 days of the end of your study (if it is before the date your immigration permission ends). If you do not leave the UK within this time, it could affect any future immigration applications to the UK). If your study (as stated in the letter you presented to the Home Office as part of your Short-term Student immigration application) continues until the date that your immigration permission ends, you must leave the UK no later than that date. 
• You cannot do any kind of work, work placement or work experience during your studies in the UK. In addition, you cannot engage in any business or professional activities in the UK. If you want to be allowed to work in the UK during your studies, you will need to apply to enter the UK with a different visa such as the Student route.  

You are not allowed to apply to switch into any other immigration category while still in the UK, or extend your permission as a Short-term Student. If you wish to continue studying in the UK after your Short-term Student visa ends, you will need to return home and apply for entry clearance on the Student route, or in another appropriate immigration category.  

You have no recourse to ‘public funds’ (defined in paragraph 6 of the Immigration Rules as a list of specific benefits available).
