Answer 1

Yes this is possible for your German girlfriend to study in the U.K.

As a German citizen your girlfriend would not require a visa to either visit or study in the U.K. and so this makes the entire process very simple and much less time consuming as the final step is elimited for EU citizens.

So what your girlfriend must do as soon as possible is to start looking at colleges/universities in the area of the U.K. which you will be moving to and then apply to them. The applicaton process can all be completed from Germany so there is no need to delay.

The first step is to search and norrow down the schools. Each college and university will have their own website, so a quick Google search search will give you the correct links for the school.

Once she has narrowed down the where she would like to attend, the next step is applying to them. If you visit those websites and click on the 'admissions' section you will find a link for international applicants and there you find all of the details which she will need to apply such as the application forms, costs, the process and all of the documentation she will need to submit for a successful admission request.

Once she is accepted, then it is just a matter of packing her stuff, purchasing the plane tickets and flying over. At the inspections for immigration, all she will need is her passport, letter of acceptance from the school and financial bank statements which proof that she can fund both her tuition costs and living exenses.

Good luck to you both and if you have any further questions or need any clarification then feel free to contact me directly.
