Visa information for students from Hong Kong

All Hong Kong nationals who wish to study in the UK will need to apply for a study visa before they are eligible to enter the UK and begin their programme of study.

You can receive visa counselling from the official representative of the University of Sheffield in Hong Kong, Education UK. The counsellors will advise on all the necessary paperwork and documentation you will need in order to apply for your visa.

Visa letter

Once you have accepted your offer of a study place AND met the conditions of your offer, we will send you a Visa Letter which confirms your study place at Sheffield. You will need this document to apply for your study visa to come to Sheffield.
