If you live outside the European Union, you will almost certainly be classed as a visa national and will need to obtain a visa before you can study in the UK.
If you are a citizen of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you will not need a visa to study in the UK.
If you are classed as a visa national, depending on the length of time you wish to study you may require a student visitor visa or a general student visa.
