If you are planning to study in the UK and belong to non EEA country then you need a student visa to study in the UK.  Thousands of student from around the globe come for higher studies in the UK.  Your whole planning and admission effort could go in vain if student visa is refused, so it is imperative that you must take utmost care while completing your visa application.  There could be many reasons for refusal but you can avoid refusal by taking care of following points.

Bogus college

If your college or institution is not registered with department of education and training providers, your student visa application will be refused straightaway.  All legitimate higher education institutions must register with government to establish their authenticity.  You must do a through research before applying for your visa, education providers register keep database of all recognised colleges.  It will be good idea to browse their register.

False or misleading information

If you provide false or misleading information in the application form, your visa is bound to be refused, apart from refusal you will be banned from applying for next 10 years.  You must complete all the columns in the application very carefully.  They ask for driving offences also, some people think they might get away by providing wrong information but it is not true.  You must provide correct information.

Failure to establish funds to support yourself

If you fail to establish that you have sufficient funds to support yourself in the UK, your student visa application is unlikely to go through.  You must provide details of your fixed and liquid assets.  Bank statement for last three months and proof of funds being available to you at the time of application.  If you are being sponsored by somebody, then you must produce undertaking from the sponsor and his funding papers would be required.

thanks

First and second line are more of common sense anybody should know. Concerning the last line, did they have a stipulated amount(funds) one or sponsor must have in account?

Minimum of 2 Million Naira must exist in the sponsors account if student is applying for a postgraduate program and minimum of 4 Million Naira must exist if student applying for undergraduate programme.  applicant should bear in mind that the embassy will only accept bank statement if its running and of 5 - 6Month Transaction evidence, else there is 75% possibility of your visa refusal

thanks

These points really matter alot in the refusal of the visa.  The one other most important thing is the visa interview.  If you are not able to answer the questions properly , that also leads to the refusal of UK student visa

you are right

and one other important thing that becomes the reason of refusal is your bank statement.  Many of my friends were refused because of the poor bank statement.  Your account must have sufficient/huge amount of money in it.

ok

Well, I think they are doing that for security reasons and to curb the chances of bringing in liabilities into the country.

All these are something one should know, isn't just uk but all countries.

As a student I know these points are really important to all students when they going to abroad. Thanks for explaining these.

Because they tight their laws about the Student Visa

Schools in Uk tight their laws to curb the chances of abuse. If you look at what is happening around schools (people forging documents, lie about age, statues, aim etc) don't you think that tighten of laws and procedure of entering into such is necessary?

Thanks
