Applicants typically need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a licensed sponsor (your UK educational institution), proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition fees and living costs, and evidence of English language proficiency. For agricultural courses, specific subject prerequisites might also apply. It's vital to check the latest immigration rules on the UK government's official website, as requirements can change.
