There will be an increase in the financial requirement for Student visa applications made from 2 January 2025. This is where students are required to demonstrate that they have enough funds to support themselves in the UK, at least for the first year of their course. From 2 January 2025, students coming to Brunel University London will be required to hold funds of £1,483 per month (increased from £1,334) for a maximum of nine months. This comes to a total of £13,347 for any course that is nine months or more. Please visit our website Making a Student visa application for more information about the Student visa financial requirements. 

From the end of 2024, the UK Home Office are phasing out the issuing of physical visa documentation such as Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs). If you need a visa to stay and study in the UK, this will now be in a digital format.
