Can I bring my family on a UK student visa?
In short: on a UK Student visa you can bring a partner and children only if you are a government-sponsored student on a course longer than 6 months, or a full-time postgraduate student on a course of 9 months or more that is a doctorate (PhD) or a research-based higher degree, for courses starting on or after 1 January 2024. Taught master’s students can no longer bring dependants. Each dependant needs GBP 680 a month outside London or GBP 845 in London, for up to 9 months, on top of your own money.
