How could I extend my semester stay to a full academic year abroad?
If you have entered the UK as a Visitor (holding an EU travel document) and wish to extend your stay for one semester, you will need to leave the UK and apply for a student visa to re-enter the UK and continue your studies (Visitor Route visas cannot be used for frequent/short-term study visits).
Therefore, we advise you to determine the duration of your stay (one semester or one year) in advance.
