Just in case, you may want to contact HO by email (better to have written communication).pkumar wrote:Please check as i have read that you are not allowed to STUDY on tier 1. you have to convert to student visa.

I am not very sure, but as far as I have read, the purpose of Tier 1 is for attracting highly skilled ppl to work in UK, but not for study. And for any full time study, a students visa would be necessary.UK_1927 wrote:Hi Seniors,
