What is the Tier 4 (General) student category?

The Tier 4 (General) category is for adult students who want to come to or remain in the UK for post-16 education.

If you are 16 or 17 years old and you want to study a course at or above National Qualfication Framework level 3, you and your approved education provider (known as a 'Tier 4 sponsor') can agree whether you should apply under this category or under Tier 4 (Child). However, if you want to study English as a foreign language, you must apply as a Tier 4 (General) student.

Part 6A (p aragraphs 245ZT to 245ZY) of the Immigration Rules contains full details of the category's requirements.
